An engineered high temperature resistant steel

• Excellent high temperature stability and strength
• Very oxidation and carburization resistant to 2100°F
• Good resistance to thermal shock and quenching
• Chemistry and specifications of alloy 330
• Slip on flange features and benefits
• Alloy 330 Datasheet

Alloy 330 slip on flanges are specifically designed for high temperature furnace applications such as vacuum furnaces, heat treating and brazing applications. The most prized trait of alloy 330 is its ability perform under cyclic conditions of temperature extremes from heating and cooling; as well as in alternate carburizing and oxidizing atmospheres. An austenitic nickel-chromium-iron-silicon alloy, 330 slip on flanges also offer industry a low coefficient of expansion, excellent ductility, and high strength.

Benefits & Corrosion Resistance

• Resistance to thermal shock from repeated quenching
• High level of resistance to oxidation and carburization
• Ability to handle thermal cycling
• Provides resistance to scale formation up to about 2000°F
• Good resistance to nitrogen-containing atmospheres where the oxygen content is low
• High nickel content of 34-37% provides high resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking and embrittlement

Applications for Alloy 330 Slip On Flanges

• Alloy 330 flanges are often used in furnaces, thermal processing and heat treating applications.
• Gas turbine components and boiler fixtures used in power generation often use Alloy 330 slip on flanges.
• Because of its resistance to nitrogen rich environments, alloy 330 flanges are used extensively for components handling cracked ammonia.

Alloy 330 Slip on Flange Features & Benefits

Alloy 330  slip on flanges are similar to the socket weld flange but without the socket shoulder. When using a socket weld flange, the pipe rests against this internal shoulder. Since a slip on flange does not have shoulder, the pipe can slide completely through the flange hub and is free to spin. 

Advantages

• Typically lower in price than weld-neck flange, yet welding costs can be more.
• There is a reduced need to cut the pipe length accurately, making it easier to install.
• The slip on flange is free to spin on the pipe for easy bolt alignment.

Disadvantages

• They require two fillet welds: one fillet weld at the hub of the flange and a second weld at the inside diameter of the flange near the flange face.
• Though they can be used for high temperature and pressure applications, they typically are not as other flange types give a more secure joint.

Alloy 330 Chemistry and Specifications

Alloy 330 (UNS N08330) is best known for its extreme high temperature strength and stability. One of the most unique attributes of Alloy 330 is its ability to handle cyclic temperature changes from extreme high temperatures to cooling phases, as well as in oxidation-rich environements.
