It is not suitable for hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and other media. But it can be used in concentrated sulfuric acid, because concentrated sulfuric acid can produce a purified film on its metal surface to prevent corrosion of cast iron by concentrated sulfuric acid.
(2) malleable cast iron: such as KTH350-10, KTH450-06, etc., suitable for PN≤25, working temperature between -10℃~300℃ between steam, general properties of gas and liquid, oil and other media. Its corrosion resistance is similar to gray cast iron.
③ Nodular cast iron: such as QT400-15, QT450-10, etc., suitable for PN≤25 working temperature between -10℃~300℃ steam, gas and oil and other media. Its corrosion resistance is strong, can work in a certain concentration of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, acid salt. But not resistant to fluoric acid, strong alkali, hydrochloric acid and ferric chloride hot solution corrosion. Use to avoid sudden heat, sudden cold, otherwise it will break.
(4) nickel cast iron: alkali resistance than gray cast iron, nodular cast iron valve; Nickel cast iron is an ideal valve material for dilute sulfuric acid, dilute hydrochloric acid and caustic soda.

But it is not resistant to the corrosion of nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid and other oxidizing acids, and it is not resistant to the corrosion of molten metal, sulfur and sulfide. Avoid contact with ammonia, which can cause stress corrosion fracture of copper and copper alloy. Attention should be paid to the selection of copper alloy, its corrosion resistance has a certain difference.
(5) Aluminum alloy
Aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance to strong oxidizing concentrated nitric acid and can withstand organic acids and solvents. But in reducing medium, strong acid, strong base corrosion resistance. The more pure aluminum is, the better it is against corrosion, but its strength decreases and can only be used for very low pressure valves or valve linings.
(6) Titanium alloy
Titanium alloy is mainly suitable for PN≤25, operating temperature between -30℃~316℃ seawater, chloride, oxidizing acid, organic acid, alkali and other media. Titanium is an active metal and can form oxide film with good corrosion resistance at room temperature.

This kind of valve such as the use of other materials, when choosing, should consider the corrosion resistance of other materials.
(9) Glass fiber reinforced plastic
The corrosion resistance of FRP varies with its adhesive. Epoxy resin FRP can be used in hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, dilute sulfuric acid and some organic acids; The corrosion resistance of phenolic fiber reinforced plastics is better. Furan FRP has good alkali resistance, acid resistance and comprehensive corrosion resistance, which is generally suitable for PN≤16 pipeline.
(10) Plastics
Plastic valves are relatively characterized by strong corrosion resistance, and even metal valves can not have the advantages. Generally applicable to PN≤6 pipeline, with different types of plastic, its corrosion resistance difference is great.
(1) Nylon, also known as polyamide, it is a thermoplastic, has good corrosion resistance. It can resist the corrosion of dilute acid, salt and alkali, and has good corrosion resistance to hydrocarbon, ketone, ether, ester and oil. But not resistant to strong acid, oxidizing acid, phenol and formic acid corrosion.

(11) Lining
Because of the low strength of plastic, many valves use metal materials to do the shell, with plastic, rubber lining. Lined valves are generally suitable for PN≤16 pipelines, with different lining materials, its temperature resistance, corrosion resistance is not the same. Plastic lining: The corrosion resistance of the plastic lining is the same as that of the corresponding material in the above plastics. However, when choosing, the corrosion resistance of other materials used in plastic lined valves should be considered.
Rubber lining: rubber is soft, so many valves use rubber lining to improve the corrosion resistance and sealing performance of the valve. The corrosion resistance of rubber varies greatly with different types of rubber. After vulcanization of natural rubber can withstand non-oxidizing acid, alkali, salt corrosion, but not resistant to strong oxidants, such as nitric acid, chromic acid, concentrated sulfuric acid corrosion, also not resistant to petroleum products and some organic solvents corrosion: therefore, natural rubber was gradually replaced by synthetic rubber. NBR in synthetic rubber has good oil resistance, but it is not resistant to oxidation acid, aromatic hydrocarbon, ester, ketone, ether and other strong solvent corrosion; Fluorine rubber has excellent corrosion resistance, can withstand all kinds of acid, alkali, salt, petroleum products, hydrocarbons, etc., but the solvent resistance is not as good as fluorine plastics; Polyether rubber can be used in water, oil, ammonia, alkali and other media.
Lead lining: lead is an active metal, but because of its soft material, it is often used as the lining of special valves. The corrosion product film of lead is a strong protective layer. It is a famous material resistant to sulfuric acid. It has high corrosion resistance in phosphoric acid, chromic acid, carbonic acid and neutral solution, sea water and other media, but it is not resistant to alkali and hydrochloric acid corrosion, and is not suitable for working in their corrosion products.
