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."

# **Ovako 100CrMo7 824Q Steel – Spheroidize Annealed Condition**
## **Product Overview**
Ovako 100CrMo7 824Q is a **high-quality, molybdenum-alloyed bearing steel** supplied in a **spheroidize annealed condition**, representing the **standard premium grade** within Ovako's 100CrMo7 product family. The **"Q"** designation signifies a **Qualified quality level** with **enhanced micro-cleanliness and controlled processing** compared to base-grade materials. This steel combines the proven performance benefits of molybdenum addition—improved hardenability, strength, and toughness—with a refined spheroidized microstructure that ensures excellent machinability and a reliable foundation for subsequent through-hardening heat treatment. It is engineered as a versatile, high-performance feedstock for demanding bearing and mechanical components where consistent quality and predictable behavior are essential.
## **Key Features & Benefits**
* **Enhanced Micro-Cleanliness & Fatigue Performance:** The 824Q grade features **reduced levels of non-metallic inclusions** (oxides and sulfides) compared to standard industrial qualities. This improved internal cleanliness directly contributes to **superior rolling contact fatigue (RCF) life and fracture toughness**, offering greater reliability and longer service life for critical components.
* **Excellent Machinability:** The spheroidize annealed condition produces a uniform hardness of **190-220 HB** and a fine dispersion of globular carbides. This structure ensures **good chip formation, extended tool life, superior surface finish, and efficient machining** of complex part geometries.
* **Superior Hardenability & Property Uniformity:** The molybdenum addition significantly increases hardenability, ensuring **deep and uniform through-hardening** in moderately large sections. The homogeneous "Q" grade microstructure guarantees consistent transformation during heat treatment, resulting in uniform hardness and mechanical properties throughout the component.
* **Optimized Toughness at High Hardness:** Molybdenum plays a crucial role in refining the tempered martensite structure, providing **better impact toughness and fracture resistance** than standard 100Cr6 at equivalent hardness levels (60-64 HRC). This offers an added margin of safety against shock loads or overload conditions.
* **Reliable & Consistent Quality:** As a defined "Q" grade, it offers guaranteed consistency in chemical composition, microstructure, and annealing response, providing a dependable and predictable material for both manufacturers and end-users in high-stress applications.
