Quality Assurance & Testing (per ASME SB171)
When procuring this forged disc, the manufacturer must typically provide:
Chemical Analysis Report (verifying Cu, Sn, Pb, Fe, Zn ranges).
Mechanical Test Certificates (Tensile and Hardness).
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – to ensure internal soundness (no voids or laminations in the forging).
Hydrostatic/Pressure Testing (if intended for pressure-retaining parts).
Dimensional Inspection – verifying outside diameter (OD), inside diameter (ID if ring), and thickness conform to the forging print.
Application
Marine Hardware: Propeller shafts, stern tube bushings, and pump housings.
Valve Components: Valve seats, stems, discs, and flanges for high-pressure seawater piping (per ASME B16.24).
Industrial Fasteners: Heavy-duty nuts and bolts where galling resistance is required.
Heat Exchangers: Tube sheets and baffle plates.
Power Generation: Condenser components and turbine fittings.
