How to Solute the Flange Cracks after Welding

1. Why there is a flange cracks after welding

In the production of container equipment, when the stainless steel flange and the cylinder are welded, there will be cracks in the neck of the flange, not at the welding seam. What's the matter? Why is there such a situation? First of all, let's analyze the reasons for hot cracks.

Hot cracks are cracks generated in the high temperature stage during the cooling process of the weld, mainly in the weld metal, and a small amount in the near seam area. It can be divided into crystallization (solidification) cracks, liquefaction cracks and polygonal cracks. Crystalline cracks are the most common type, mainly in the welds of carbon steels containing more impurity elements (S, P, Si and C), single-phase austenitic stainless steels, aluminum and its alloys and other welded structures. The main influencing factors are the welding tensile stress, the low melting point eutectic (chemical composition of the weld metal), the degree of overheating of the welded joint (process).

2.How to avoid the Hot Cracks

Judging from the photos, 304 stainless steel has strong plasticity. If it is a forged flange, the welding process requirements are relatively loose, and cracks are generally not caused. If it is a casting, this situation is prone to occur. So, in practice, how do we avoid cracks in the work-piece? Measures to reduce the tendency of hot cracking include:

1) Reduce the content of impurity elements such as S and P in the material.

2) Properly increasing the Mn/S ratio can replace Fe of the Fe-FeS low-melting eutectic to form MnS with a melting point of 1620Co, thereby improving the crack resistance of the weld.

WC=0.10~0.12%, WMn=2.5% before it works

WC=0.13~0.20%, WMn=1.8% or less is effective

WC=0.21~0.23%, the beneficial influence range of WMn is narrower.

3) Use appropriate welding methods and processes to control line energy input and reduce weld overheating.

4) Add Ti, Mo, Nb or rare earth elements to the welding material to inhibit the development of columnar grains, refine the grains, and significantly improve the performance.

DN25 SANITARY BUTTERFLY VALVE CLAMP END

The body and disc of the Sanitary butterfly valve are built with high-precision CNC lathe processing.

Sanitary butterfly valves are compact, lightweight, and use a simple composition with only a few components.
Using a butterfly valve is simple and convenient; the disc only needs to rotate 90° to be able to open and close quickly and provide dependable fluid control characteristics.
A health-grade pneumatic butterfly valve should maintain a fully open position, the disc thickness provides the medium flow through the valve body, and thus the pressure drop caused by the small valve has good flow control characteristics.
The Sanitary butterfly valve has two types of seals — a ballistic seal and a metal seal. An elastic seal valve can be embedded in the valve body or attached to the disc around.
