1 Part Feature Analysis

ASME B16.5 blind flanges up to 24-inch, DIN 934 hex nuts M6-M30, M16-M24 fully threaded stud bolts up to 200mm, DIN 125 flat washers, serrated external tooth lock washers, exhaust stack rain cap flapper valves, custom slip-on flange collars

  • ⚠️ Thread galling of Ti nuts on Ti studs requiring anti-seize compounds
  • ⚠️ Washer cupping under high torque leading to preload relaxation
  • ⚠️ Galvanic corrosion at Ti-to-steel flange interfaces
  • ⚠️ Stud bolt stress-corrosion cracking from cut threads in chemical environments
  • ⚠️ Rain cap flapper hinge fatigue from continuous wind/gas cycling

2 Material Selection Rationale

Grade 2 CP-Ti — Industrial pure Ti, general corrosion resistance

Grade 2 CP-Ti for blind flanges, slip-on collars, and rain caps requiring formability and weldability. Grade 3 for hex nuts — optimal ductility/yield balance prevents thread galling. Grade 4 for flat washers and spring lock washers needing high surface hardness. Grade 5 for high-tensile stud bolts. Beta-C (Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al) for serrated lock washers requiring massive spring-back elasticity.

3 Form Selection Rationale

Round Bar / Rod — for turning, fasteners

Plate cutting for flanges and rain caps. Cold nut forming + precision tapping for hex nuts. Thread rolling from solution-treated rod stock for stud bolts. Precision stamping + tumble deburring for washers. Punch press stamping + vacuum hardening for serrated lock washers.

4 Manufacturing Process & Services

Core Processes:

Plate laser cutting + CNC drilling of flange bolt holesCold heading of hex nuts + CNC tappingThread rolling of stud bolts from STA rod stockPrecision stamping + vibratory deburring of flat/lock washersSheet metal stamp-bending + spot TIG welding of rain cap flappers

Toll Processing Services:

PMI verification of all materialHydrostatic pressure testing of flanged assembliesDimensional inspection per ASME B16.5 / DIN standardsHardness testing (HRB/HRC) of washersSalt spray corrosion testing (ASTM B117)

Process Pitfalls:

  • ⚠️ Cut threads on stud bolts create stress-corrosion crack initiation sites — rolled threads mandatory for chemical service
  • ⚠️ Serrated lock washer teeth must be induction-hardened to HRC 45+ to bite into Grade 5 flange faces
  • ⚠️ Rain cap flapper hinge pin must be Ti Grade 5 for wear resistance — Grade 2 wears through in <1 year of continuous cycling
