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 Technical Data Sheet: Ductile Iron – Grade 120-90-02 (Ultra-High-Strength) for Extreme Torsion Applications**
---
#### **1. Product Overview**
**Ductile Iron Grade 120-90-02** represents the **ultimate tier of torsional performance** achievable with ductile iron technology, engineered for applications demanding **maximum shear strength, exceptional fatigue resistance under cyclic torque, and superior resistance to torsional deformation**. To achieve these properties, the material **must undergo specialized heat treatment**—typically **Austempering (ADI) or Quenching & Tempering (QT)**—resulting in an ausferritic or tempered martensitic microstructure. This grade delivers torsional performance that rivals or exceeds many alloy steels, making it suitable for the most critical, highly stressed power transmission components where failure is not an option and weight savings are paramount.

#### **3. Typical Chemical Composition (Base Iron for ADI/QT)**
Chemistry is meticulously designed for extreme hardenability and microstructural control under heat treatment.
| Element | Target Range (%) | Functional Role for Extreme Torsion Performance |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Carbon (C)** | 3.5 - 3.7 | Provides carbon for matrix strengthening and stable graphite formation. |
| **Silicon (Si)** | **2.4 - 2.8** | **Crucial.** In ADI, enables formation of high-carbon stabilized austenite within ausferrite, enhancing fracture toughness under shear. |
| **Manganese (Mn)** | **0.20 - 0.40** | Controlled to ensure hardenability while minimizing segregation that could create brittle paths under high shear stress. |
| **Magnesium (Mg)** | 0.03 - 0.05 | Ensures very high nodularity (>90%) for optimal shear stress distribution. |
| **Copper (Cu)** | **0.8 - 1.2** | Strong hardenability agent; ensures uniform high strength to the core under torsional load. |
| **Molybdenum (Mo)** | **0.3 - 0.6** | **Essential.** Provides deep hardenability to achieve fully martensitic or ausferritic matrix in thick sections, preventing soft core zones. |
| **Nickel (Ni)** | 0.5 - 1.5 | Used with Mo to improve hardenability and toughness, critical for shock torque resistance. |
| **Phosphorus (P)** | **≤ 0.030** | Extremely low to eliminate grain boundary embrittlement under triaxial stress states. |

#### **6. Fabrication & Design Notes**
* **Condition:** **Exclusively Supplied Heat-Treated (ADI or QT).** The specific heat treatment cycle is integral to the material specification.
* **Design Philosophy:** Can utilize the **extremely high torsional yield strength** for maximum power density. **Advanced FEA modeling**, including fatigue analysis, is mandatory. **Surface compressive stresses** induced by processes like shot peening or roller burnishing are highly beneficial for fatigue life. Attention to **geometric stress concentrators** is absolutely critical.
* **Machinability:** **Very Difficult.** All significant machining must be performed in a soft, annealed state prior to final heat treatment. Post-heat treatment finishing is limited to grinding, honing, or hard machining with PCBN/PCD tooling.
* **Surface Enhancement:** **Induction hardening** or **nitriding** can be applied to specific areas (e.g., splines, bearing journals) to achieve surface hardness >55 HRC for extreme wear resistance, while the ADI/QT core provides the strength.
