Forgings Self Reinforcements

Forgings with self-reinforcement, such as SA 350 LF2 CL1, SA 350 LF2 CL2, and SA 266 GR.2, are used in critical applications requiring high strength and reliability. SA 350 LF2 (Classes 1 and 2) is a low-temperature carbon steel known for excellent impact resistance and toughness at sub-zero temperatures, ideal for cryogenic systems and pipelines. SA 266 GR.2, a forged carbon steel, provides robust mechanical properties, making it suitable for high-pressure and temperature environments, such as pressure vessels and steam systems. These forgings ensure durability and safety in demanding industrial applications.

Forgings with self-reinforcement, such as SA 350 LF2 CL1, SA 350 LF2 CL2, and SA 266 GR.2, are categorized based on material grades, classes, and specific uses:

SA 350 LF2 CL1 and CL2:

Class 1 (CL1): Designed for moderate low-temperature applications with specified impact testing. Widely used in flanges, valves, and piping components.

Class 2 (CL2): Similar to CL1 but with stricter impact testing requirements, making it suitable for more demanding cryogenic conditions.

SA 266 GR.2:

Subcategories based on pressure requirements: Often specified for parts like shells, heads, and nozzles in pressure vessels, categorized by size, thickness, and required mechanical properties.

These materials are further divided into components like flanges (weld neck, slip-on, blind), fittings (tees, elbows, reducers), and valve bodies. Their versatility and reliability make them critical for petrochemical, power generation, and cryogenic systems.
