Tower Flange Forgings for Wind Turbines
Using advanced forging technology, we create exceptionally durable flanges with optimized grain flow, delivering superior reliability and long-term stability at all key connection points between tower sections and between the tower and its foundation.
Description
We specialize in producing high-performance forged tower flanges — critical structural connectors for wind turbine towers. Using advanced forging technology, we create exceptionally durable flanges with optimized grain flow, delivering superior reliability and long-term stability at all key connection points between tower sections and between the tower and its foundation.
Materials
We begin with material excellence,such as:
High-Strength Structural Steels: S355NL, Q355NE, and ASTM A572, ideal for general applications.
Alloy Steels: 42CrMo and 34CrNiMo6, designed for demanding conditions requiring enhanced strength and fatigue resistance.
Weathering Steels: ASTM A588 (Corten-type), providing superior corrosion resistance in exposed environments.
Custom Alloys: Materials developed to meet specific standards (DIN, EN, ASTM, GB) and project requirements, including stringent low-temperature impact performance.
wind tower flange machining Producing Process
Our production process strictly follows procedural requirements to ensure consistency in quality and structural performance..
Material Verification & Cutting: Certified steel undergoes precise cutting after full material validation.
Controlled Forging: Temperature and deformation are closely monitored to refine grain structure and enhance mechanical properties.
Heat Treatment: Components are normalized, quenched, and tempered to achieve specified strength and toughness.
Rough Machining: Flanges are machined to near-net shape with controlled dimensional allowances.
Final Machining & Inspection: Precision finishing is followed by comprehensive
dimensional verification and non-destructive testing.
Quality Assurance at turbine tower flange
Our full-process inspection system begins with Raw Material Inspection, utilizing spectrochemical analysis and macrostructure exams. In-Process Monitoring via infrared temperature tracking and online dimensional gauging ensures process stability. Before release, each forging undergoes Final Validation, including sensitive Ultrasonic Testing (capable of detecting flaws as small as Φ1.6mm), 100% surface inspection via Magnetic Particle Testing, complete mechanical property testing, microstructural evaluation, and precise dimensional verification using Coordinate Measuring Machines.
Technical Standard
Product Types: Full-circle forged flanges and weld-ready forged segments.
Dimensions: Custom-manufactured per customer drawings and technical requirements.
Standards & Certifications: Compliant with EN 1090-2 and ISO 9001:2015, with optional certifications available (GL, DNV, TÜV).
Applications
Our forged marine tower flange are engineered for both onshore and offshore wind turbine applications, functioning as critical section connectors and foundational ring components.Designed to stringent standards, they provide reliable support for heavy industrial structures.
