Under what circumstances is a forge-welded hydrogenation reactor needed? Under what circumstances is a plate-welded hydrogenation reactor suitable?
Today, in equipment design and manufacturing, the most economical materials and production methods are used as long as safety and design requirements are met.
It is necessary to consider the rolling capacity and address the quality issues of thick plates. There are no strict regulations
It mainly depends on how the design is approached, after all, forgings are much more expensive than sheets.
In terms of cost, forge-welded methods are definitely more expensive than plate-welded methods. Currently, the steel rolling capabilities are quite strong, and with the use of higher-grade materials, the trend is toward plate-welded structures.
It is mainly determined by factors such as process operating conditions (e.g., pressure, temperature, etc.) and the strength of the equipment materials.
