Did you know? There are many factors that affect the weight of forged steel valves!
For example, valve material, processing method, size, pressure, etc. will change the weight of forged steel valves.
Let’s take two examples to illustrate:
1. The influence of valve materials
Forged steel valves have different material densities, which will lead to different weights. The greater the density, the heavier the valve. Whether it is heavy or light, there are pros and cons, because if lightweight materials such as aluminum alloy are used, it may not be able to withstand high pressure, and heavy materials such as cast iron may make the valve inflexible.
2. The influence of processing methods
Forged steel valves can be processed in many forms, and different forms of processing have different effects on weight. For example, the weight of a valve forged from carbon steel is greater than that of a valve made of steel plate welding.
