Stainless steel flanges consist mainly of iron, chromium (usually 10.5–20%), nickel and traces of carbon, manganese and molybdenum based on the grade (e.g., 304, 316). The composition is renowned for outstanding corrosion resistance, especially against rust and oxidation. In mechanical terms, stainless steel flanges have high tensile strength (approximately 515–750 MPa), good ductility and superior toughness even at low temperatures. They also provide high hardness and fatigue strength, hence fitting for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. The above properties guarantee high reliability and durability in piping systems that are utilized in petrochemical, food processing industries, and marine environments.
