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. -: MetalTek MTEK 80 Cast UNS F45000 Abrasion Resistant Cast Iron Flange Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: MetalTek MTEK 80 Cast UNS F45000 Abrasion Resistant Cast Iron Flange Synonyms -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:

MetalTek MTEK 80 Cast UNS F45000 Abrasion Resistant Cast Iron Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ## **MetalTek MTEK 80 (UNS F45000) High-Chromium Abrasion Resistant White Cast Iron** ### **1. Product Overview** MetalTek MTEK 80, standardized under **UNS F45000**, is a premium **high-chromium white cast iron** engineered specifically for extreme abrasion resistance in aggressive wear environments. This alloy belongs to the class of martensitic white irons, where the high carbon and chromium content ensures the formation of hard chromium carbides (M₇C₃) embedded in a strong, wear-resistant martensitic matrix. The "80" designation typically refers to the target **minimum Brinell hardness of 800 HBW** in the heat-treated condition. This material is the industry benchmark for applications involving severe sliding abrasion, high-stress grinding, and impact-associated wear, offering a superior service life compared to lower alloyed white irons and many quenched steels. --- ### **2. Chemical Composition (Typical / Specified Range)** The abrasion resistance of MTEK 80 is derived from its carefully balanced chemistry, optimized for maximum carbide volume and matrix hardness. | Element | Typical Range (%) | Primary Function | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Carbon (C)** | 3.0 - 3.6 | Primary carbide former; controls carbide volume and hardness. | | **Chromium (Cr)** | 23.0 - 28.0 | Forms hard, blocky (M₇C₃) chromium carbides; provides hardenability and corrosion/oxidation resistance. | | **Molybdenum (Mo)** | 1.5 - 3.0 | Enhances hardenability, refines microstructure, and improves toughness. | | **Nickel (Ni)** | 0.5 - 1.5 | Austinite promoter; ensures full martensitic transformation upon heat treatment. | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 0.5 - 1.5 | Austinite stabilizer; aids hardenability. | | **Silicon (Si)** | 0.3 - 0.8 | Deoxidizer; controlled to avoid destabilizing carbides. | | **Copper (Cu)** | 0 - 1.2 | Sometimes added to enhance corrosion resistance and hardenability. | | **Sulfur (S)** | ≤ 0.05 | Impurity control. | | **Phosphorus (P)** | ≤ 0.05 | Impurity control. | **Microstructure:** A dense dispersion of **primary and eutectic chromium carbides (M₇C₃ type)**, comprising 30-40% by volume, within a **martensitic matrix** with retained austenite. This "hard particles in a hard matrix" structure delivers exceptional wear resistance. --- ### **3.
