Forged Welded Neck Flange

Solve the problem of weld heat affected zone and sudden brittle fracture

Hydrogen trap network: V4C3 quantum dots are implanted at grain boundaries, and the hydrogen diffusion coefficient is reduced to 10⁻¹³ m²/s

Nano-austenite stabilization technology: Traditional process is less than 12%, while the austenite content in the HAZ zone can reach more than 35%

Breakthrough of the limit boundary

Scenario Destructive challenge NeoForge™ record Certification standard

Fusion reactor first wall pipeline 14MeV neutron irradiation + 550℃ Ductility retention rate 92% ITER MATERIAL SDC-IC

Nuclear power plant LOCA accident 290℃ saturated steam shock maintains zero fracture (10⁴ cycles) ASME III NB-3200

Deep-sea methane hydrate mining 20MPa water pressure + methane ice phase change Seal life >25 years API 17TR8
