China's Wafer Ball Valve Needs Innovative Development To Lead The Market

China's Wafer Ball Valve used in some high-end systems still have defects. Valve companies need to innovate and develop to lead the market. Further innovation is needed in valves that are resistant to high temperatures, high pressures, wear, and corrosion. Valve companies need to cultivate more talented individuals and achieve major breakthroughs in related technologies to avoid relying on foreign resources. While innovating, they also need to maintain safe production.

1. Innovation in the Coal Chemical Industry

Valves used in the coal chemical industry are particularly wear-resistant. During use, valve seals often wear out, leading to poor sealing and frequent leakage. Currently, the wear-resistant sealing materials developed in China include ceramic sealing surfaces and Stellite alloy spray-coated surfaces. However, these materials still cannot meet the high wear resistance required by the market, and valves often need to be replaced every three months, resulting in a significant waste of resources. To overcome this problem, Chinese valve companies need to innovate and create better products.

2. Innovation in the Nuclear Power Plant Sector

Valves used in the coal chemical industry are critically important for ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure applications. These valves are designed to withstand both high temperatures and high pressures. Currently, only Germany and the United States possess this level of technology. China's manufacturing in this area follows foreign standards, which is like imitating others. This lack of technical expertise leads to numerous errors. Furthermore, production lines are inferior to others, the environment is average, and processes lag behind those of other countries. These factors lead to significant flaws in valve manufacturing. To address these shortcomings, valve companies must transform and innovate. Only through innovation can we achieve higher technological levels. Failure in innovation is not a serious concern; the only real danger is a failure to innovate.

Innovation in Chemical Corrosion Protection

Valves used in chemical systems are all highly corrosion-resistant, with fluorine-lined valves being the most common. However, a significant drawback of these valves is their inability to withstand high temperatures and wear. To overcome this, domestic valve manufacturers have employed materials such as 2205, 316L, and Monel alloy for seals. However, these materials exhibit extremely poor wear resistance and are unsuitable for use in some applications, such as handling granular chemical substances, where they cannot meet the requirements of the transportation process. To overcome this challenge, Chinese valve manufacturers urgently need innovation; after all, innovation is a resource.
