alloy flange materials (chrome-moly) have higher chrome and molybdenum content than carbon steel flanges. alloy steel flange materials suit high temperature and high-pressure applications and improved resistance to corrosion when compared to regular carbon steel flanges grades.
astm a182 alloy flanges are extremely ductile, strong and tough and easy to weld and offer oxidation and scaling resistance. these grades match with astm a335 alloy steel pipes.
