Forged steel valves mean the valves body material are made from forged steel. Forged steel is a material resulting from alloying iron and carbon under extremely high pressurefromcompressionprocesses. Forged steel has less surface porosity, a finer grain structure, more tensile and fatigue strength, and greater ductility than any other processed steel.
Forged steel gate valves are sturdier and more durable than other kinds of ordinary valves. They can be used in high-temperature operations or for isolating critical areas in piping units because of the high performance in body material. The forgedbodymaterialcouldbe carbon steel, stainless steel or alloy steels.
