A flange—also referred to as a flange plate or rim—is a component used to connect shafts to one another, or, more commonly, to join the ends of pipes. Flanges are also utilized at the inlet and outlet ports of equipment to facilitate connections between two devices—for instance, the flange on a speed reducer. A "flange connection" or "flanged joint" refers to a detachable joint assembly comprising three interconnected elements—a flange, a gasket, and bolts—that together form a sealed structural unit. In the context of piping systems, a "pipe flange" specifically denotes a flange used for plumbing within the installation; when applied to equipment, it refers to the inlet or outlet flange of that specific device. Flanges feature a series of holes through which bolts are inserted to securely fasten the two flanges together, while a gasket placed between the flanges ensures a leak-proof seal. Flanges are broadly categorized into three types: threaded (screw-in) flanges, welded flanges, and clamp-type flanges. Flanges are invariably used in pairs; threaded flanges are suitable for low-pressure piping applications, whereas welded flanges are required for systems operating at pressures exceeding 4 kilograms per square centimeter. A sealing gasket is inserted between the two flange plates, which are then firmly secured using bolts. The thickness of a flange—as well as the specifications of the bolts used to fasten it—vary depending on the specific pressure rating required for the application. When connecting equipment such as water pumps or valves to piping systems, the corresponding connection points on these devices are often manufactured in the shape of a matching flange; this method of attachment is also referred to as a "flange connection." Generally, any connecting component that utilizes bolts to join and seal the perimeters of two flat surfaces—such as the joints in ventilation ducts—is termed a "flange"; such components may collectively be classified as "flange-type parts." However, since such a connection often constitutes merely a *portion* of a larger device—for instance, the interface between a flange and a water pump—it would be inappropriate to classify the entire water pump itself as a "flange-type part." Conversely, smaller components—such as valves—that feature such flanged interfaces may indeed be appropriately categorized as "flange-type parts."

# **Product Datasheet: AISI 4130H Hardenability Steel (UNS H41300)**
## **Overview**
AISI 4130H is a **hardenability-controlled variant** of the popular AISI 4130 chromium-molybdenum alloy steel, distinguished by its guaranteed and consistent response to heat treatment. The "H" designation signifies that the steel's chemical composition is precisely balanced to meet specific hardenability requirements as defined by end-quench (Jominy) test standards. This ensures predictable mechanical properties throughout the cross-section of heat-treated components, particularly in critical applications where batch-to-batch consistency is paramount.
## **Key Features**
- **Guaranteed hardenability** for consistent heat treatment results
- **Superior through-hardening capability** in medium to large sections
- **Excellent strength-to-weight ratio**
- **Good impact resistance and fatigue strength**
- **Predictable mechanical properties** across production lots
