The standard valve material is one of the indispensable accessories in the pipeline, because of its uniqueness, it not only to ensure that in different temperature, not the same working pressure, not the same medium chemical and physical properties of the main parameters of the reliable role, and also for the use of many roles in the valve. Therefore, this determines the diversity of the valve in the material selection. It can be said that the vast majority of materials on the market at present, including light metals, rare metals, rubber products, plastics and porcelain can be used in the valve.
Valve is one of the indispensable accessories in the pipeline, because of its uniqueness, it not only to ensure that in different temperature, not the same working pressure, not the same medium chemical and physical properties of the main parameters of the reliable role, and also to carry out many roles in the use of the valve. Therefore, this determines the diversity of the valve in the material selection. It can be said that the vast majority of materials on the market at present, including light metals, rare metals, rubber products, plastics and porcelain can be used in the valve.
Although on the surface, a valve is very simple, but in fact the various parts of the valve materials involved in the course is not available to other mechanical equipment. It not only involves material, fluid dynamics, heat, organic chemistry, etching, metallographic analysis, but also involves the basic knowledge of mechanical structure design, automatic control system, mechanical manufacturing process and its flaw detection, electric welding. Therefore, for every valve engineering technician who meets the requirements, it is necessary to have a familiar knowledge of valve product structure and independent innovation, a solid foundation in basic theoretical academic research, and should have a high quality in how to select materials. In order to achieve this overall goal, we must do the following aspects:
1, to ** understand and collect the world’s existing a variety of material information and the corresponding material specifications.
2. Continue to learn from experience in daily work.
3, close cooperation with scientific research institutions, targeted research and development of valves needed new materials, easy to expand the scope of material selection.
Since the reform and opening up, China has made numerous research and development of new valve materials, such as: For Sichuan natural gas engineering project developed H2S resistant medium valve seat material 318 steel, bite resistant 303Se, 410Se and other easy cutting stainless steel, low temperature resistance -101℃ 3.5Ni (LC3) low temperature steel, heat resistant ZG1Cr5Mo continuous high temperature steel, salt water corrosion resistant dual-phase steel, nickel base superalloy pig iron, Abrasion resistant and wear resistant cast iron, and improve the service life of the valve surface SF-3T, SF-4T, SF-5T and other surfacing electrode. This effect is the first clear project research or regional issued scientific research plan, through the relevant departments to cooperate with science and technology.
General criteria for material selection
Because the valve belongs to the pressure vessel range, and the valve parts in the valve to play a different role. Therefore, in order to ensure that the valve can be trusted, in the actual use of valve parts, material selection is particularly important.
When using valve parts materials, the following standards can be followed:
1. Scope of application: that is, material selection should be in accordance with the use of the corresponding valve parts. (Organic chemical properties, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, structural mechanical properties, etc.)
2 feasibility analysis and rationality: that is, the selection of materials, to focus on the market is conducive to purchase, the price is suitable, it is best not to use high materials low.
3. Stability: After determining a kind of valve parts material, it is also necessary to carry out corresponding calculation, taking into account the possible problems and the corresponding countermeasures taken to ensure that the selected materials reach the use mode.
4. Process performance: when selecting materials, it is necessary to understand the process performance of material processing to obtain better economic benefits.
