Our Flanges

The difference between Cast and forged flanges

The flange produced by casting has accurate shape and size of the blank, small processing volume, and low cost, but there are casting defects (pores, cracks, and inclusions); The internal structure of the casting has poor streamline (if it is a cutting part, the streamline is even worse);

Forged flanges generally have lower carbon content and are less prone to rusting compared to cast flanges. Forged flanges have good streamline, dense structure, and better mechanical properties than cast flanges;

Improper forging technology can also lead to large or uneven grains, hardening cracks, and higher forging costs than cast flanges.

Forgings can withstand higher shear and tensile forces than castings.

The advantage of castings is that they can produce more complex shapes and have lower costs;

The advantage of forgings is that their internal structure is uniform and there are no harmful defects such as pores and inclusions in the castings.

Customers can choose the suitable way according to their requirements.
