The Preferred Valve for Corrosive Environments

Valves made from nickel based alloy materials can work well on pipeline equipment in fine chemical engineering, metallurgical and smelting industries. They are very reliable corrosion resistant valves with good performance such as high strength, good toughness, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.
 
A nickel based alloy is a kind of alloy metal with high strength and oxidation corrosion resistance at high temperature of between 650°C and 1000°C. It is divided into nickel based heat-resistant alloy, nickel based corrosion-resistant alloy, nickel based wear-resistant alloy, nickel based precision alloy and nickel based shape memory alloy according to its performance.
 
The main elements of nickel based alloys are chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, aluminum, titanium, boron, zirconium and so on. Among them, Cr and Ai mainly play an anti-oxidation effect, and other elements have effects such as solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening and intercrystalline strengthening. Representative materials of nickel based alloys are: Incoloy alloys such as Incoloy 800 whose main composition is 32Ni-21Cr-Ti and Al, which belongs to heat-resistant alloys. Inconel allosy such as Inconel 600 with the main composition 73Ni-1SCr-Ti and Al, belongs to heat-resistant alloys. Hastelloy alloy such as Hastelloy C276 has the main composition of 56Ni-16Cr-16Mo-4W, which belongs to corrosion resistant alloys. Monel alloy: for example, Monel 400 has the main composition of 65Ni-34Cu, which is the corrosion resistant alloy.
 
Nickel based alloy was first used in the United Kingdom in 1941. This alloy material not only has the inherent electrochemical characteristics of nickel, but also has the excellent corrosion resistance of alloying components. It has high strength, good plasticity and toughness, and can be smelted, casted and processed by cold and hot deformation and forming as well as welding.
 
Nickel based corrosion-resistant alloys are alloys whose main properties are corrosion resistant to liquid media (at room temperature, sometimes higher than room temperature), which contain nickel generally not more than 70%. Cu, Cr, MO and W are mainly added to adapt to various working media with different chemical properties. Adding copper to improve the corrosion resistance of nickel in thick media and the uniform passivation in aerated high-speed flowing seawater. Cr is added to improve the corrosion resistance of nickel under oxidizing conditions (such as HNO3 and H2CI04) and high temperature resistance to chemicals and sulfur. Molybdenum and tungsten significantly improve the corrosion resistance of nickel in reducing acids.
 
In summary, the valves made from nickel based alloys have high strength, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Nickel based alloy valves have functions that ordinary  valves do not have. They can work in the environment containing corrosion-resistant media such as fine chemical engineering, metallurgy and smelting, which are safer and more reliable, and have longer service life.
