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."

# EOS MaragingSteel MS1
## DMSL on EOS M290 - 400W Laser Configuration
---
### **Product Overview**
**EOS MaragingSteel MS1** is a proprietary gas-atomized, precipitation-hardenable steel powder engineered for **Direct Metal Selective Laser Melting (DMSL)** on the **EOS M290 system with the standard 400W fiber laser configuration**. This system represents the **industrial workhorse** for producing high-density, ultra-high-strength maraging steel components via Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). The 400W laser provides the optimal balance of power, speed, and melt pool control for MS1, enabling the fabrication of complex geometries that are subsequently age-hardened to achieve mechanical properties exceeding 1950 MPa UTS. This material-machine combination is the **industry benchmark** for additive manufacturing of high-performance tooling and lightweight structural components.

### **Chemical Composition (Weight %) - EOS MS1 Powder Specification**
| Element | Specification Range | Key Role in DMSL Process |
|---------|---------------------|--------------------------|
| **Nickel (Ni)** | 17.0 - 19.0 | Forms the primary martensitic matrix; critical for as-built toughness and age-hardening response. |
| **Cobalt (Co)** | 8.5 - 9.5 | Drives precipitation kinetics; essential for achieving peak aged strength. |
| **Molybdenum (Mo)** | 4.5 - 5.2 | Primary precipitation hardener (forms Ni₃Mo). |
| **Titanium (Ti)** | 0.6 - 0.8 | Secondary precipitation hardener (forms Ni₃Ti). Optimized level minimizes laser plume interference and oxidation. |
| **Aluminum (Al)** | ≤ 0.10 | Deoxidizer; tightly controlled to ensure consistent powder flow and melt pool behavior. |
| **Carbon (C)** | ≤ 0.03 | Ultra-low to prevent carbide formation and maintain excellent process weldability. |
