AISI 1006 Steel Flange

1,We Manufacturing processes are primarily classified into four types: 1:Forging, 2:Casting, 3:Cutting, 4:Rolling. 2,We can manufacture in accordance with these standards. Standards: GB Series (Chinese Standards), JB Series (Machinery Standards), HG Series (Chemical Industry Standards), ASME B16.5 (American Standards), BS4504 (British Standards), DIN (German Standards), and JIS (Japanese Standards). Internationally, there are two primary systems of pipe flange standards: the European system, represented by the German DIN standards (including those of the former Soviet Union), and the American system, represented by the US ANSI pipe flange standards. Other common standards include: the Chinese Ministry of Machinery Industry standards (JB series), the Ministry of Chemical Industry standards (HG series), the Chinese National Standard *GB/T 9112–9124-2010 Steel Pipe Flanges*, as well as US standards (ASME B16.5), British standards (BS4504), German standards (DIN), Japanese standards (JIS), and marine standards (CBM), among others. The nominal pressure ratings for the PN series are designated by "PN" and comprise the following nine levels: PN2.5, PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, PN63, PN100, and PN160. The nominal pressure ratings for the Class series are designated by "Class" and comprise the following six levels: Class150, Class300, Class600, Class900, Class1500, and Class2500.

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 1006 Steel Flange, cold drawn Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 1006 Steel Flange, cold drawn Synonyms -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:

AISI 1006 Steel, cold drawn Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ## **Product Specification: AISI 1006 Low Carbon Steel, Cold-Drawn** ### **Product Designation** * **Standard Name:** AISI 1006 / SAE 1006 * **UNS Number:** G10060 * **Condition:** **Cold-Drawn** * **Common Forms:** **Round, Square, Hexagonal, and Flat Bar; Wire** * **Key Features:** Improved surface finish, tight dimensional tolerances, increased strength from cold work, excellent weldability, and good ductility. ### **Overview** AISI 1006 is a very low-carbon, non-hardenable plain carbon steel. In the **cold-drawn** condition, the material is processed by pulling it through a die at room temperature. This cold-working operation significantly improves its surface finish and dimensional accuracy while increasing its yield and tensile strength through strain hardening. Cold-drawn AISI 1006 offers an excellent balance of moderate strength, good ductility, and ease of fabrication (welding, bending), making it a versatile and economical choice for a wide range of manufactured parts and components where precise dimensions and a smooth finish are important. --- ### **1.

International Standards & Designations** | Standard System | Designation | Notes / Key Comparison | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **SAE / AISI (USA)** | **SAE 1006 / AISI 1006** | Base grade designation. | | **UNS (USA)** | **G10060** | Unified Numbering System. | | **ASTM (USA)** | **ASTM A108** (Standard for Steel Bar, Carbon and Alloy, Cold-Finished) | The governing specification for cold-drawn bars. Tolerances per **ASTM A29**. | | **DIN / EN (Germany/EU)** | **DC01 (EN 10130), 1.0330** | **DC01** is the direct equivalent for cold-forming sheet/strip. For bars, **DD11 (1.0338)** or general structural steel **S235JR (1.0038)** are similar in application. | | **JIS (Japan)** | **SS330, SPCC** | **SS330** for general structural use; **SPCC** for cold-rolled sheet. | | **GB (China)** | **Q195, 10** | Common grades for low-carbon steel wire and rod. | | **ISO** | **ISO 3573: CR1, ISO 630-2: E235B** | CR1 for commercial quality sheet; E235B for structural steel. | --- ### **Processing & Design Considerations** 1. **Anisotropic Properties:** Strength is highest in the longitudinal (drawing) direction. Transverse ductility and impact strength are lower. 2. **Stress Relieving:** If subsequent forming (e.g., severe bending) is required after drawing, a low-temperature stress relief (~650°F / 345°C) can restore some ductility and reduce springback. 3. **Weldability:** **Excellent.** No pre-heat or post-heat treatment required. The heat-affected zone (HAZ) will be softened (annealed), creating a local soft spot. 4. **Economical Precision:** The cold-drawing process provides a cost-effective way to achieve tight tolerances and a good finish without extensive machining. ### **Summary** **Cold-drawn AISI 1006 is a fundamental, value-engineered material that provides enhanced mechanical properties and superior dimensional consistency compared to its hot-rolled counterpart.** It is the go-to choice for a vast array of non-critical, mass-produced components where a combination of easy fabrication, good strength-to-weight ratio, and a ready-to-use finish is required. Its excellent weldability and formability make it a favorite in general manufacturing and light fabrication. While not suitable for high-stress or heat-treated applications, its reliability, availability, and cost-effectiveness secure its role as a workhorse material in the global supply chain, with direct functional equivalents worldwide (e.g., **ASTM A108, EN DC01**). -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 1006 Steel, cold drawn Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <4734 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 1006 Steel, cold drawn Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
