The Advantages of Die-Forged Ball Valves

Die-forged ball valves will become increasingly popular, as they offer numerous advantages, mainly reflected in aspects such as material mechanical properties, material utilization rate, product consistency, and reliability.

In terms of internal material quality, die-forged ball valves have significantly fewer internal defects. Compared with the casting process (which is prone to defects like sand holes), during the die-forging process, metal raw materials can fully fill the mold. This effectively eliminates looseness and voids inside the material, making the part density close to 100%. This characteristic greatly reduces the risk of leakage caused by internal defects.

In terms of production efficiency, die-forged ball valves have higher mass production efficiency. Once the mold is manufactured, it can quickly and repeatedly produce identical parts, making it very suitable for mass production. Moreover, compared with the complicated processes of casting, such as smelting, pouring, and cleaning sand, die-forging has a shorter production cycle and stronger stability in the production process.

In terms of product consistency and reliability, since the die-forging process is controlled by mold constraints and precise process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and deformation speed, the differences in size and performance among parts of the same batch are extremely small. The product consistency is much higher than that of cast or free-forged parts, which ensures the stable operation of the valve.
