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 Datasheet: Sandvik 20C Shock Absorber Strip Steel**
**1. Product Overview**
Sandvik 20C is a high-carbon, chromium-alloyed, cold-rolled strip steel specifically engineered for the manufacture of high-performance **shock absorber piston rods** and other critical suspension components. Renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, superior fatigue resistance, and excellent surface integrity, it is the material of choice for demanding automotive and industrial suspension systems where durability, reliability, and precision are paramount.
**2. Key Features & Benefits**
* **High Strength & Hardness:** Provides the necessary mechanical strength to withstand high cyclical loads and pressures within the shock absorber.
* **Superior Fatigue Resistance:** Engineered to endure millions of stress cycles without failure, ensuring long service life and safety.
* **Excellent Surface Finish & Dimensional Accuracy:** Essential for maintaining a perfect seal with the piston rod guide and seal, preventing oil leakage and ensuring consistent damping performance.
* **Good Hardenability:** Responds reliably to heat treatment (quenching and tempering), allowing for tailored mechanical properties.
* **Machinability & Grindability:** Offers good machinability in the annealed state and can be precision ground after hardening to achieve the ultra-smooth, mirror-like finish required for piston rods.
* **Consistency:** Sandvik's stringent process control guarantees batch-to-batch uniformity in chemistry, microstructure, and properties.
**3. Chemical Composition (Typical Analysis)**
Sandvik 20C is a high-carbon chromium steel. The typical chemical composition is as follows:
| Element | Carbon (C) | Chromium (Cr) | Silicon (Si) | Manganese (Mn) | Phosphorus (P) | Sulfur (S) |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Content (%)** | 0.95 - 1.10 | 0.40 - 0.60 | ≤ 0.35 | ≤ 0.40 | ≤ 0.025 | ≤ 0.020 |
*Note: This is a representative analysis; specific heats may vary within Sandvik's defined internal specifications to optimize performance for shock absorber applications.*
**4. Physical & Mechanical Properties**
* **Standard Delivery Condition:** Typically supplied in a **spheroidized annealed (soft annealed)** condition for optimal cold forming and machining.
* **Hardness (Annealed):** 190 - 230 HBW
* **Tensile Strength (Annealed):** ~ 600 - 750 MPa
* **Final Application Condition:** After customer machining and **heat treatment (quenching & tempering)**:
* **Hardness (Hardened & Tempered):** 50 - 60 HRC (typical target for piston rods).
* **Tensile Strength:** 1650 - 2150 MPa (approx., dependent on tempering temperature).
* **Yield Strength:** > 1500 MPa.
* **Core Toughness:** Maintains sufficient toughness at high hardness to resist impact and brittle fracture.
* **Surface Finish (Final Rod):** Capable of achieving a super-finished, mirror-like surface (e.g., Ra < 0.1 µm) after grinding and polishing, which is critical for seal life and friction control.
**5. Standard Specifications & Dimensional Tolerances**
Sandvik 20C for shock absorbers is produced to meet stringent automotive and industry standards.

* **Typical Dimensions:**
* **Thickness:** 2.0 mm to 8.0 mm (custom ranges possible).
* **Width:** 20 mm to 150 mm (standard), depending on rod diameter.
* **Tolerances:** Supplied to tight **precision tolerances** for thickness (e.g., ±0.02 mm), width, flatness, and edge condition as per **DIN EN 10131** or customer-specific drawing requirements.
**6. Primary Applications**
Sandvik 20C is exclusively used for high-stress, precision automotive and industrial components, primarily:
* **Monotube & Twin-Tube Shock Absorber Piston Rods:** The core material for rods in passenger cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, and racing applications.
* **Strut Rods:** For MacPherson strut assemblies.
* **Other Precision Suspension Components:** Such as guide pins, certain valve parts, and other hardened, ground shafts within the damping system.
**7. Processing & Heat Treatment Guidelines**
1. **Machining:** Components are machined (turned, milled) in the supplied soft-annealed condition.
2. **Heat Treatment:** Machined parts are **austenitized, quenched, and tempered** to achieve the final high hardness and strength. Care must be taken to prevent decarburization.
3. **Finishing:** The rods undergo **centerless grinding** and **superfinishing/polishing** to achieve the final diameter and mirror-like surface finish.
4. **Surface Coating:** Often followed by a **chromium plating** or advanced **Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)** coating (e.g., chromium nitride) for extreme corrosion and wear resistance.
