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. -: PSM Industries Ferro-TiC® CM High Chrome Tool Steel Flange Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: PSM Industries Ferro-TiC® CM High Chrome Tool Steel Flange Synonyms -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:

PSM Industries Ferro-TiC® CM High Chrome Tool Steel Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: **Product Name:** PSM Industries Ferro-TiC® CM | High-Chromium Tool Steel Metal Matrix Composite **Overview** PSM Industries' Ferro-TiC® CM is a premier-grade metal matrix composite (MMC) engineered for applications demanding the ultimate combination of wear resistance and structural integrity. This material strategically combines a high-chromium, high-carbon cold-work tool steel matrix (analogous to AISI D2/SKD11) with a high-volume fraction of uniformly dispersed titanium carbide (TiC) particles. Manufactured through proprietary powder metallurgy (PM) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technologies, Ferro-TiC® CM delivers an isotropic microstructure free from the carbide segregation and inhomogeneity limitations of conventionally cast tool steels. The result is a material that exhibits **extraordinary resistance to abrasive, adhesive, and erosive wear**, coupled with high compressive strength and moderate corrosion resistance, making it a superior alternative to both traditional high-chromium tool steels and many cemented carbide grades in severe service conditions. **Key Features:** * **Dual-Phase Wear Resistance:** The synergistic effect of a hard, high-chromium steel matrix and a dense network of ultra-hard TiC particles (Hardness ~3000 HV) provides unmatched defense against wear. * **Powder Metallurgy Integrity:** Ensures a fine, uniform, and isotropic distribution of carbides, guaranteeing consistent performance regardless of part orientation or complex geometry. * **Exceptional Hardness:** Achieves a very high composite macro-hardness, making it one of the hardest commercially available tool-steel-based composites. * **Good Dimensional Stability:** Exhibits minimal distortion during heat treatment compared to conventional high-chromium steels due to its PM origin. * **Machinable when Annealed:** Supplied in a soft-annealed condition to allow for conventional machining and shaping before final hardening. --- **Material Specifications: Ferro-TiC® CM** **1. Chemical Composition (Typical, wt%)** The composition is defined by a high-chromium tool steel matrix saturated with titanium carbide. * **Matrix:** High-Chromium, High-Carbon Cold Work Tool Steel (D2-type). * **Reinforcement:** High Volume Fraction (typically 45-55%) of Titanium Carbide (TiC). A representative **overall** chemical analysis includes: * **Iron (Fe):** Balance * **Titanium (Ti):** 14 - 20% * **Carbon (C):** 4.0 - 5.5% * **Chromium (Cr):** 8.0 - 12.0% * **Molybdenum (Mo):** 0.5 - 2.0% * **Vanadium (V):** 0.5 - 2.0% * **Silicon (Si):** ≤ 0.5% * **Manganese (Mn):** ≤ 0.5% *Note: The precise TiC volume fraction and particle morphology are proprietary to PSM Industries.* **2.

Applicable & Reference Standards** As a proprietary composite, Ferro-TiC® CM is a unique material class. Its performance is specified relative to and often replaces: * **ASTM A681 (Grade D2):** Chemical benchmark for the matrix. * **ISO 4957 (Grade X153CrMoV12):** European equivalent. * **JIS G4404 (Grade SKD11):** Japanese equivalent. * **Cemented Carbide Grades (ISO K, M, P classes):** Performance benchmark for wear applications where greater toughness is needed. * **Custom Material Specifications:** Commonly established by OEMs after successful field trials against conventional options. --- **Product Applications** Ferro-TiC® CM is the material of choice for the most punishing wear applications across industries, particularly where conventional tool steels fail prematurely. * **Metal Forming:** Precision blanking and fineblanking dies, progressive die inserts, punching pins for abrasive materials (e.g., electrical steels, high-strength alloys). * **Extrusion & Drawing:** Cold extrusion dies, mandrels, drawing cones for wires, rods, and tubes. * **Plastics & Composites Processing:** Injection molding screws, barrels, and wear plates for highly filled polymers (glass, mineral, carbon fiber). Precision knives and slitters for abrasive composite materials. * **Wear Parts in Hostile Environments:** Sand blasting nozzles, pump sleeves, seal rings, valve trim components subject to abrasive slurries with mild corrosive elements. * **Powder Compaction:** Tooling for compacting metal powders (ferrous & non-ferrous) and advanced ceramics. * **Pulp & Paper / Recycling:** Refiner plates, wear plates, and cutting blades for processing recycled materials. **Processing & Handling Guidelines:** 1. **Machining:** **Only in the annealed condition** (~40-48 HRC). Use rigid setups with carbide, CBN, or PCD tooling. Employ positive rake angles and adequate coolant. 2. **Heat Treatment:** Standard practice for air-hardening, high-chromium steels. Vacuum or atmosphere furnace recommended: preheat, austenitize at appropriate temperature, air or gas pressure quench, followed by double or triple tempering to achieve final hardness (66-70 HRC). 3. **Finishing:** Grinding (with appropriate wheels) and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) are standard post-hardening operations. 4. **Joining:** Can be successfully brazed or bonded to tough steel substrates to create composite structures (e.g., wear-resistant facings on shock-absorbing backings). **Why Choose Ferro-TiC® CM?** * **Unparalleled Wear Life:** Routinely outperforms conventional D2 and similar tool steels by factors of 10 to 100 times in abrasive environments, maximizing uptime and productivity. * **Consistent, Predictable Performance:** The isotropic PM structure ensures uniform wear and eliminates directional weaknesses, leading to reliable, repeatable part life. * **Superior Value:** Although initial cost is higher than standard tool steels, the dramatically extended service life results in a significantly lower total cost per part produced. * **Engineered Solution:** Offers a strategic balance of wear resistance and usable toughness that sits between monolithic tool steels and more brittle cemented carbides. **Disclaimer:** The information provided is based on typical data from PSM Industries and is intended for general reference.
