The basic processing method for disc forgings is upsetting, followed by auxiliary and finishing processes such as chamfering, rounding, and leveling.
A flange is a component used to connect pipes to valves or other piping sections. Manufacturing involves continuous hammering of the raw material after cutting to eliminate defects such as segregation and porosity found in steel ingots. Both the price and mechanical properties of these forgings exceed those of standard cast flanges.

Applications for Forged Discs/Flanges
Similar to our cylinder forging products, our forged steel discs are suitable for components such as gears and wheels in port and marine machinery. They are also used for pressure vessel forgings in chemical processing machinery.
1. Automotive Industry
* Discs: Forged discs are used to manufacture critical automotive components such as gears, shafts, and wheel hubs.
* Flanges: In automotive applications, forged flanges are used in exhaust systems to provide secure, durable connections between pipes and components.
2. Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
* Discs: These metal discs are used to manufacture chemical reactors and pressure vessels that must withstand corrosive chemical processes.
* Flanges: Flanges are essential for connecting piping in chemical processing plants, ensuring the integrity of fluid transport systems.
3. Oil and Gas Industry
* Steel Discs: Used in high-pressure, high-temperature environments, these discs are supplied for valves and pressure vessels in refineries and natural gas processing plants.
* Flanges: Flanges are critical for pipe connections; in the oil and gas industry, they ensure leak-proof joints across pipelines, drilling rigs, and offshore platforms.
4. Power Generation
* Discs: Forged discs are utilized in the power generation sector—particularly in turbines and generators—where they must withstand high rotational speeds and demanding operating conditions.
* Flanges: Flanges are used to connect piping systems in power plants, facilitating the efficient transport of fluids and steam within boilers and steam turbines.
