The forged three-arm flange is a mechanical linking component specifically designed for truck and heavy-duty vehicle exhaust systems. Its role is to secure and connect exhaust pipes while ensuring leak-tightness against gases, high temperatures, and constant vibrations.
Forged from high-quality steel alloys, this component combines fatigue resistance and long service life, essential to withstand the demanding conditions of road transport and intensive use.
The three-arm flange must withstand:
Thermal variations generated by exhaust gases
Vibrational stress from the engine and road conditions
High internal pressure, ensuring leak-free operation
Severe working environments: humidity, corrosion, dust, and road salt
Thanks to the forging process, the flange provides greater mechanical strength and durability compared to cast or stamped alternatives.
Forged flanges are used in:
Truck and heavy-duty exhaust systems
Buses and coaches
Industrial and special-purpose vehicles
Construction and heavy equipment (BTP)
High robustness under mechanical and thermal loads
Durable leak-tightness of exhaust connections
Resistance to corrosion and fatigue
Dimensional stability after machining
