Steel Billets for the Valve Industry
Valve makers forge bodies, bonnets and stems from billets. Grades are picked for pressure, temperature and corrosion resistance, and material traceability is normal.
We supply steel billets for valve components such as bodies, bonnets, stems and wedges, in pressure and corrosion-resistant grades.
Typical components
- Valve bodies and bonnets
- Stems and wedges
- Valve trim
- Flanges and end connections
Recommended steel grades
ASTM A182 F22
A creep-resistant chrome-moly steel for forged flanges, fittings and valves operating at high temperature and pressure.
ASTM A182 F11
A chrome-moly grade for forged parts in elevated temperature service in power and process industries.
SS410
A hardenable stainless steel with moderate corrosion resistance and good strength.
SAE 4130
A lower carbon chrome-moly steel with good weldability and strength, used in pressure and structural parts.
EN19
A widely used chrome-moly steel with good hardenability, toughness and fatigue strength in the quenched and tempered condition.
Choosing the billet
Share the ASTM or EN grade, the heat treatment condition and any impact or hardness requirement in your enquiry.
Check the billet size chart for sections and weight per metre, and use the weight calculator for any length.
