⭕ Spiral Wound Gasket Outer ring carbon steel, inner ring stainless steel, steel strip SS316 material  🔽 This is our physical warehouse where various sizes of sealing gaskets are stored, with the main execution standard being ASME B16.20 ✅ Spiral-wound gaskets comprise a mix of metallic and filler material. Generally, the gasket has a metal (normally carbon-rich or stainless steel) wound outwards in a circular spiral (other shapes are possible) with the filler material (generally a flexible graphite) wound in the same manner but starting from the opposing side. This results in alternating layers of filler and metal. The filler material in these gaskets acts as the sealing element, with the metal providing structural support. These gaskets have proven to be reliable in most applications, and allow lower clamping forces than solid gaskets, albeit with a higher cost. 🛠 Application scope of spiral wound gasket: Sealing of flange connections such as pipelines, valves, pressure vessels, condensers, heat exchangers, towers, manholes, and handholes in industries such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, power, shipbuilding, and machinery. 📩 If you have any inquiries about your project, please contact our sales team: sales@hot-forge.com

Such great high pressure forged gate valve

Alloy 611 Vessel in pre-solution annealed condition. For some high nickel alloys, solution annealing improves corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and structural integrity. It dissolves carbides and other harmful phases, enhances homogeneity, and prepares the alloy for further heat treatments. These improvements are critical for the longevity and performance of pressure vessels, especially in demanding environments. This vessel was heated to just over 2000F over several hours then quenched in a water bath to below 800f in less than 30 seconds. #titaniumpressurevessel #chemical #metalfabricators #metalfabrication #trays #coolwelding #tigwelding #welderslife #metal #titanium #tantalum #zirconium #hastelloy #pipewelder #metalwork #safety #safetyfirst #heatexchanger #fabrication #stainlesssteel #flanges

Stainless steel appears refined after alloying with the presence of Nitrogen.

𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐍𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥: 𝐍𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 Increases the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance of austenitic and duplex stainless steels. It also substantially increases their strength and, in fact, it is the most effective solid solution strengthening element and a low-cost alloying element. The improved toughness of nitrogen bearing duplex stainless steels is due to their greater austenite content and reduced intermetallic content. 𝐍𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 does not prevent the precipitation of intermetallic phases but delays the formation of intermetallics enough to permit processing and fabrication of the duplex grades. 𝐍𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 is added to highly corrosion resistant austenitic and duplex stainless steels that contain high chromium and molybdenum con tents to offset their tendency to form sigma phase. 𝐍𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 is a strong austenite former and can replace some nickel in the austenitic stainless steels. 𝐍𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 reduces the stacking fault energy and increases the work hardening rate of the austenite. It also increases the strength of austenite by solid solution strengthening. In duplex stainless steels, nitrogen is typically added and the amount of nickel is adjusted to achieve the desired phase balance. The ferrite formers, chromium and molybdenum, are balanced by the austenite formers, nickel and nitrogen, to develop the duplex structure.

Not all 316 stainless steel bar stock is the same. #Chromium and #nickel are critical for corrosion resistance and ductility in #hydrogen applications. But at what amounts? More than 10% chromium transforms steel into stainless steel, creating an adherent and invisible oxide layer that is chromium-rich. Nickel then provides good ductility and ease of forming. Swagelok 316/316L stainless steel tube fittings and valves contain more nickel and chromium than minimally required by ASTM standards, which improves efficiency in hydrogen applications.
