Stainless Steel 316N Flanges

SS 316N Flanges are made to be highly durable, providing superior corrosion and pitting resistance compared to other metals. This quality is achieved by a chemical composition comprising chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen. The chromium provides the stainless steel resistance to high temperatures and helps protect against oxidation, while the nickel increases malleability and improves resistance to outside sources. Adding molybdenum helps prevent corrosion, while nitrogen further enhances rust-resisting capabilities. Together they form a resilient material with all of the benefits expected from a stainless steel alloy – durability, strength, and resilience.

Stainless Steel Flanges 316N  is one of the most commonly used fitment systems in the industrial pipe and pipeline applications. They are especially well suited for piping exposed to corrosive media, as they possess superior rust resistance while maintaining a solid seal. Additionally, these robust flanges feature excellent surface properties, like a high gloss finish, that are achieved through cold-working processes like brushing and abrasive polishing. Lastly, due to its easy formability and exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, Stainless Steel 316N is an optimal choice for constructing piping systems of any size or weight.
