Alloys Specified for This Part in Oil & Gas
Which of these is right depends on the medium, the temperature and the pressure rather than on the sector alone — two plants in the same industry routinely specify different grades for the same part.
| Grade | Specification | Corrosion | Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| CF8M | ASTM A351 CF8M / UNS J92900 (cast 316) | Good pitting and crevice resistance in chlorides; standard choice for seawater-adjacent and chemical process duty. | approx. -196 C to +550 C, derated for pressure-retaining service above 425 C |
| CF3M | ASTM A351 CF3M / UNS J92800 (cast 316L) | As CF8M, with the low carbon that prevents sensitization at welds. | approx. -196 C to +425 C |
| CF8 | ASTM A351 CF8 / UNS J92600 (cast 304) | Good general corrosion resistance in fresh water, steam and mild chemicals; not for chlorides. | approx. -196 C to +550 C |
| CF3 | ASTM A351 CF3 / UNS J92500 (cast 304L) | As CF8 with low carbon for welded assemblies. | approx. -196 C to +425 C |
| CD3MN (2205) | ASTM A890 Gr 4A / UNS J92205 (cast 2205 duplex) | Substantially better than CF8M against chloride pitting and stress-corrosion cracking. | approx. -50 C to +280 C — the upper limit is set by 475 C embrittlement, not by strength |
| CE3MN (2507) | ASTM A890 Gr 5A / UNS J93404 (cast 2507 super duplex) | Excellent — PREN above 40, suitable for warm seawater and desalination brine. | approx. -50 C to +280 C |
| WCB | ASTM A216 WCB / UNS J03002 | None inherent — carbon steel castings are painted, plated or galvanized for corrosion protection. | approx. -29 C to +425 C |
| HK40 | ASTM A297 HK40 / UNS J94204 | Excellent oxidation resistance; not for wet corrosion. | continuous service to approx. +1100 C |
| Inconel 625 (CW6MC) | ASTM A494 CW6MC / UNS N26625 (cast Inconel 625) | Outstanding — resists pitting, crevice attack and chloride stress-corrosion cracking. | approx. -196 C to +650 C |
| C95800 Nickel Aluminum Bronze | ASTM B148 C95800 (nickel aluminum bronze) | Excellent in seawater, with natural biofouling resistance; galvanically compatible with most marine steels. | approx. -200 C to +250 C |

Technical Drawing
Every parameter below is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Picking a size snaps the other fields to that size's values; you can then override any one of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What matters most for a 90° elbow (flanged) in Oil & Gas?
Sour service, high pressure and a consequence of failure that is measured in more than money. The failure this sector designs out is sulfide stress cracking in a grade that passed every mechanical test.
Which specifications apply in Oil & Gas?
Commonly NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156, API 6A and API 6D. Name the one your drawing works to on the RFQ — it changes the testing, the documentation and the price, and it is cheaper to agree before tooling than after.
Which alloys are used for a 90° elbow (flanged) in Oil & Gas?
Commonly CF8M, CF3M, CF8, CF3 and CD3MN (2205). The right one depends on the medium, the temperature and the pressure rather than on the sector alone — two plants in the same industry routinely specify different grades for the same part.
How do I request a quotation?
Configure the drawing on this page — size, alloy, finish — and submit the form. Attaching a drawing or a STEP file is the fastest route to a firm price, and it lets us flag a castability issue before you commit to tooling.
More on the 90° Elbow (Flanged)
The full record for the 90° elbow (flanged) — every catalogued size, the parametric drawing and the quote form — is on the 90° Elbow (Flanged) product page.
Each grade changes the price, the weight and what the part survives, so there is a page per grade for this part: CF8M (the catalog grade), WCB (the carbon-steel cost baseline), CF3M (low carbon, for welded assemblies), CF8 (cheaper, where chlorides are absent), C83600 Red Brass (pressure-tight and easy to machine) and CD3MN (2205) (roughly double the yield strength).
How it is shelled decides the tolerance and the surface you get, and the tolerance band is worked out against this part's own dimensions on each: Silica Sol Casting (DCTG 5 – 7, Ra 3.2 – 6.3 µm), Water Glass Casting (DCTG 7 – 9, Ra 6.3 – 12.5 µm) and Composite Shell Casting (DCTG 6 – 8, Ra 6.3 – 12.5 µm).
The specification and the testing change by sector more than the geometry does, so the 90° elbow (flanged) is written up separately for Chemical Processing, Water & Wastewater, Food, Dairy & Beverage and Marine & Offshore.
If the question is still whether a casting is the right way to make this part at all, the 90° Elbow (Flanged) application guide covers where it is used, what has to be decided before a price exists, and where investment casting is the wrong answer.
