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 1117 Steel Flange, normalized at 900°C (1650°F), air cooled, round Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: AISI 1117 Steel Flange, normalized at 900°C (1650°F), air cooled, round Synonyms -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:

Product Overview** **AISI 1117, Normalized at 900°C (1650°F) and Air Cooled**, represents a specific heat-treated condition of this free-machining steel. The normalization process involves heating the steel to approximately 50-60°C (90-110°F) above its upper critical temperature (Ac₃), holding for sufficient time to achieve a uniform austenitic structure, and then cooling in still air. This treatment refines the grain structure inherited from prior hot rolling or forging, homogenizes the microstructure, and relieves internal stresses, resulting in a more uniform and predictable material with improved mechanical properties compared to the as-rolled or as-forged state. This processing route is specified for applications requiring a **balanced combination of strength, ductility, and microstructural uniformity** as a starting point for further processing or as a final condition for certain components. It is particularly beneficial for ensuring consistent response in subsequent manufacturing steps like machining or case hardening. **Key Advantages of Normalized AISI 1117:** * **Refined & Homogeneous Microstructure:** Eliminates the coarse, non-uniform grain structure from hot working, resulting in a fine, uniform ferrite-pearlite matrix. This enhances toughness and mechanical consistency. * **Relieved Internal Stresses:** Reduces residual stresses from prior manufacturing processes, minimizing the risk of distortion during subsequent machining. * **Improved Machinability Consistency:** The uniform microstructure provides more predictable and consistent machining characteristics across the entire bar and between lots compared to standard hot-rolled material. * **Optimized Base for Further Heat Treatment:** Creates an ideal, uniform starting condition for subsequent case hardening (carburizing), leading to more controlled carbon diffusion and case depth uniformity. --- ### **2.

Determines the volume fraction of pearlite in the normalized microstructure. | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 1.00 - 1.30 | Increases hardenability, slightly retarding the austenite-to-ferrite/pearlite transformation during air cooling, leading to a finer pearlite structure. | | **Phosphorus (P)** | ≤ 0.040 | Residual element, controlled to minimize embrittlement. | | **Sulfur (S)** | 0.08 - 0.13 | **Key Machinability Enhancer.** Forms manganese sulfide (MnS) inclusions that promote chip breaking. Note: Sulfur does not adversely affect the normalization process. | | **Iron (Fe)** | Balance | Base metal. | --- ### **3.

International Standards & Specifications** Normalization is a standard heat treatment process applied to material conforming to common bar standards. | Standard System | Grade Designation | Applicable Base Specification | Heat Treatment Note | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **ASTM (USA)** | 1117 | ASTM A29 / ASTM A108 | Can be supplied normalized per ASTM A29 or as a special requirement on A108. | | **SAE (USA)** | SAE 1117 | SAE J403 | - | | **UNS (USA)** | G11170 | - | - | | **DIN (Germany)** | 1.0721 (11SMn30) | DIN EN 10087 / DIN 1651 | Can be supplied to "**+N**" condition (Normalized). | | **EN (Europe)** | 11SMn30 | EN 10087 | Designation: **11SMn30+N**. | | **Common Callout** | **Normalized** | | Often specified on drawings as "Normalize at 900°C, air cool." | --- ### **5. Primary Applications** Normalized AISI 1117 is selected for components that require a reliable, uniform set of core properties prior to final machining and/or case hardening, especially where part consistency is critical. * **Gearing & Shafting:** Gear blanks, pinions, and intermediate shafts that will be carburized. Normalization ensures a uniform core structure for consistent hardening response and optimal core toughness. * **Forged Components (Post-Forging Treatment):** Critical parts that are hot forged to shape and then normalized to refine the coarse forged grain structure before machining. * **General Engineering Components:** Bolts, studs, and pins requiring better and more consistent mechanical properties than as-rolled stock, often for medium-duty applications. * **Tooling & Fixture Bases:** Jigs, fixtures, and machine components where dimensional stability and a moderate strength-to-ductility ratio are important in the "as-machined" state. * **Precision Parts:** Components where consistent machinability and minimal distortion during machining are required, and where the part may not undergo final hardening. --- ### **6. Processing & Fabrication Notes** * **Subsequent Heat Treatment:** Serves as an **excellent pre-condition for carburizing**. The fine, uniform grain structure allows for predictable and uniform carbon diffusion, potentially reducing case depth variation. It is not a through-hardening treatment. * **Machinability:** Offers **very good and consistent machinability**. The uniform fine-grained structure and stress-relieved state allow for stable cutting, good surface finishes, and predictable tool life. It is generally superior to as-rolled stock for precision work. * **Weldability:** **POOR.** The high sulfur content makes it highly susceptible to solidification (hot) cracking. Welding is not recommended and will locally destroy the normalized microstructure. * **Cold Working:** More ductile and uniform than cold-drawn material, but its primary purpose is not for severe cold forming. It can withstand moderate forming operations. * **Dimensional Stability:** Superior to as-rolled material due to stress relief, making it a better choice for parts requiring stable dimensions during machining. --- **Disclaimer:** The data provided is for general reference.
