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." -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 8627 Steel Flange Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 8627 Steel Flange Synonyms -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:

AISI 8627 Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **Product Introduction: AISI 8627 Steel** #### **1. Overview** AISI 8627 is a **medium-carbon nickel-chromium-molybdenum (Ni-Cr-Mo) alloy steel**, positioned within the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 8600 series as a **high-performance case-hardening (carburizing) grade**. Distinguished by its **elevated carbon content** relative to 8620/8625 grades, this steel is engineered to deliver **exceptional core strength, superior hardenability, and robust load-bearing capacity** while maintaining the fracture toughness characteristic of nickel-alloyed steels. Following carburizing heat treatment, it develops an optimal **"hard case, tough core"** microstructure, making it specifically suitable for **heavy-duty, high-stress components** that demand maximum resistance to bending, torsion, and contact fatigue beneath a wear-resistant surface. #### **2.

For engineers designing gear systems, bearings, or shafts that operate at the outer limits of mechanical performance, AISI 8627 provides a proven, reliable material solution that balances ultimate strength with necessary fracture resistance. Its use is justified in applications where component failure carries extreme economic or safety consequences, and where maximum power density and service life are paramount design objectives. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 8627 Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5745 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 8627 Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
