Advantages of Valve Manufacturing
Leierwo has been deeply involved in the precision casting field for many years, particularly accumulating extensive experience in the manufacture of valve components. The company specializes in the production of precision castings made of carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel—materials commonly used in the valve industry. By utilizing advanced technologies such as melt casting and silica sol processes, the company is able to achieve high-precision molding of complex structural parts, meeting the performance requirements of valves under high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosion-resistant operating conditions. Furthermore, Leierwo emphasizes custom production based on customer drawings, enabling it to better match valve castings to specific customer needs, ensuring product sealing and structural stability.
Main Material Selection
Selecting the right material for valve castings is crucial to ensure durability under complex operating conditions, including high pressure, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments. Material selection should prioritize corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, cavitation resistance, and excellent machinability. Stainless steel is often the preferred choice due to its superior overall performance.
Common Materials for Valve Castings
Stainless Steel Series:
316/316L: Ideal for marine environments and chemical or petroleum industries due to excellent chloride corrosion resistance.
304/304L: Cost-effective for general corrosive environments.
410: Martensitic stainless steel with moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for high-temperature steam valves.
17-4PH: Precipitation-hardened stainless steel offering high strength and corrosion resistance for high-performance valves.
Carbon Steel Series:
WCB: Common for general-purpose valves at room temperature.
4130: Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature valve housings.
Specialty Alloy Series:
2205 Duplex Stainless Steel: Excellent stress corrosion resistance, ideal for marine and chemical applications.
Cobalt Alloys (Co6, Co12): Suitable for valve sealing surfaces exposed to extreme high-temperature wear and erosion.

Key Casting Service Options
The casting method directly affects valve performance, sealing integrity, and pressure resistance. Choosing the right casting service is essential for functional reliability.
Investment Casting:
Preferred for medium- and high-pressure valves.
Ideal for components with complex internal cavities and precise mating surfaces, such as valve bodies and sealing seats.
Ensures surface roughness ≤ Ra1.6µm, reduces casting defects like pores and shrinkage, and minimizes leakage risk.
Especially suitable for stainless steel and alloy valves under high pressure.
Sand Casting:
Suitable for low-pressure, large-scale valve production.
Ideal for municipal water supply gate valves or other symmetrical, simple-shaped valves with moderate precision requirements.
Offers advantages in low cost and high production efficiency.
CNC Machining:
Focused on critical mating areas like valve flanges and stem shafts.
Ensures flatness and perpendicularity ≤0.02mm/m for precise assembly.
Essential for achieving tight tolerances and leak-free connections after casting.
