Materials Of Forged Fittings
Carbon steel is a widely used material for pipes fitting forging due to its high strength, good ductility, and relatively low cost. It is suitable for applications where moderate strength and corrosion resistance are required. Carbon steel forged fittings are commonly used in industrial applications, water supply systems, and structural components.
Stainless steel’s high resistance to corrosion makes it ideal for applications where such durability is crucial. It offers excellent mechanical properties and can withstand high temperatures and pressures. Stainless steel forged fittings are commonly used in industries, pharmaceuticals, and marine applications.
Alloy steel forged fittings contain additional alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, nickel, or vanadium to enhance their mechanical properties. Alloy steel offers superior strength, hardness, and wear resistance compared to carbon steel. It’s frequently utilized in applications with elevated temperatures and pressures such as power generation, petrochemical, and aerospace industries.
Forged Fittings Manufacturing Process
- The process starts with choosing suitable raw materials according to the desired traits of the eventual fittings. Typical materials used are carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. The material selection is based on factors such as operating conditions, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties required for the application;
- The selected raw materials are heated to a suitable temperature to make them malleable. The heated metal is then placed into forging dies, where it is shaped under high pressure using hydraulic presses or hammers. The forging process involves compressive forces that reshape the metal into the desired shape of the fitting. This step ensures that the fittings have improved mechanical properties, including higher strength, better grain structure, and enhanced resistance to fatigue compared to cast or machined fittings;
- After the initial forging process, the fittings may undergo additional forming and shaping operations to achieve the desired dimensions and configurations. This may include processes such as upsetting, punching, or machining to refine the shape and dimensions of the fittings. Precision machining may be used to create threaded or socket weld end connections on the fittings;
- Once the forging and forming processes are complete, the fittings are subjected to heat treatment to enhance their mechanical properties and alleviate internal stresses. This may involve processes such as annealing, normalizing, or quenching and tempering, depending on the material and desired properties of the fittings. Heat treatment helps to refine the microstructure of the metal, increase its hardness and strength, and enhance its resistance to corrosion and fatigue;
- After heat treatment, the fittings may undergo surface treatment and finishing processes to improve their appearance and corrosion resistance. This may involve techniques such as shot blasting, pickling, passivation, or electroplating to remove surface impurities, scale, or oxides and create a smooth, clean surface finish. Coatings such as zinc plating, epoxy coating, or powder coating may also be applied to provide additional protection against corrosion;
- Throughout the manufacturing process, forged fittings undergo thorough quality control and testing to ensure they comply with industry standards and specifications. This may include dimensional inspection, visual inspection, non-destructive testing (such as ultrasonic testing or dye penetrant inspection), and mechanical testing (such as tensile testing or hardness testing) to verify the integrity, mechanical properties, and dimensional accuracy of the fittings;
- Once the fittings have passed all quality control and testing requirements, they undergo final inspection to verify they meet customer specifications and are defect-free. The fittings are then packaged and labeled according to customer requirements and industry standards before being shipped to their destination for installation in piping systems.
Types Of Forged Fitting
Forged Elbows
Elbows are used to change the direction of flow in a piping system. Forged elbows are available at various angles, including 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees, allowing for flexibility in routing pipelines around obstacles or corners.
Forged Tees
Tees are used to branch or join pipelines together. Forged tees feature a T-shaped design with three openings, enabling the connection of three pipes at a right angle. They are commonly used in applications where a branch line is required to divert flow from the main pipeline.
Forged Couplings
Couplings are employed for joining two pipes or fittings together. Forged couplings feature a cylindrical shape with internal threads or sockets at both ends, allowing for easy installation and removal of pipes. They are commonly used in applications where pipes need to be joined temporarily or where frequent assembly and disassembly are required.
Forged Unions
Unions are similar to couplings but provide a more convenient means of connecting and disconnecting pipes. Forged unions feature a threaded or socket weld connection with a nut and a female end, enabling swift and effortless assembly and disassembly of pipes without the need for tools. They are commonly used in applications where pipes need to be disconnected for maintenance or repairs.
Forged Crosses
Crosses are used to intersect multiple pipelines at a single point. Forged crosses feature a cross-shaped design with four openings, enabling the connection of four pipes at perpendicular angles. They are commonly used in applications where multiple pipelines need to be connected or where complex piping configurations are required.
Forged Caps
Caps are used to terminate or close off the end of a pipeline. Forged caps feature a domed or flat-shaped design that seals the end of the pipe, preventing the flow of fluid or gas. They are commonly used in applications where the end of a pipeline needs to be sealed permanently.
Forged Plugs
Plugs are similar to caps but provide a means of temporary closure for pipelines. Forged plugs feature a cylindrical or tapered design with external threads or sockets, allowing for easy installation and removal from the pipe. They are commonly used in applications where pipes need to be temporarily sealed for maintenance or testing purposes.
Forged Reducers
Reducers are utilized for transitioning between pipes of varying sizes. Forged reducers feature a conical or eccentric design that reduces the diameter of the pipe, enabling a seamless transition between pipes of varying sizes. They are commonly used in applications where pipes need to be connected with different diameters or where flow rate needs to be reduced or increased.
Advantages Of Forged Fittings
High Strength
Hot forging facilitates crystallization and grain refinement, enabling the material to attain its utmost strength potential and consistency while reducing differences between parts. Fine flow of particle flow along valve body contour. These continuously flowing wires help reduce the incidence of fatigue or common failures.
Reliability
The forging performance that being able to satisfy the demands of the design structure has consistently been one of its significant advantages of forgings, and to a certain extent precedes the above characteristics.
Structural Integrity
Forging eliminates internal defects, produces a consistent metal structure, guarantees excellent performance, and ensures a long service life and troublefree use of forgings where stress and intrachrystalline corrosion are severe.
Pipe Fitting Forging Applications
Forged fittings are mainly used in petroleum, chemical, electric power, aviation, aerospace, metallurgy, construction and other industries. Among them, the petroleum and chemical industry is one of the most widely used fields of pipe forgings. In the petroleum and chemical production process, the demand for pipe connectors is large, and the requirements for safety and sealing are high, so the use of pipe forgings can meet these needs, and is more economical, efficient and safe.
