Industry information
2024.11.12
1、 Material characteristics
Bronze valves are alloys composed of copper and zinc, which are harder than pure copper and have strong wear and corrosion resistance. They are used to manufacture valves with excellent performance. At the same time, bronze valves have good thermal conductivity, are not easily affected by thermal expansion, and have a longer service life. Moreover, the processing performance of bronze valves is also very excellent, making them easy to cut, forge, and deeply punch.
2、 Scope of use
Due to its excellent corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, bronze valves are widely used in fields such as chemical engineering, shipbuilding, aerospace, and navigation. The use of bronze valves is particularly effective in pipeline systems for various liquids, gases, dust and other media. In addition, bronze valves are often used in fields such as water supply, drainage, HVAC systems, etc. to ensure industrial production safety.
3、 Other characteristics
1. It can work normally even in low temperature environments. Bronze valves have good low-temperature resistance and can work normally in an environment of -40 ℃.
2. Soft texture. Although bronze valves are harder than pure copper, their texture is relatively soft compared to steel valves, making them more convenient for installation, maintenance, and other operations to a certain extent.
3. Strong corrosion resistance. Bronze valves have strong corrosion resistance and will not be damaged by medium attacks during long-term use, so they are usually used as the preferred material in pipeline systems for liquids, gases, dust and other media.
4. Good fire resistance. Bronze valves have a higher melting point than iron materials and are less likely to cause fires. For some special occasions (such as oil and gas pipelines), they can provide a guarantee for safe production.
In summary, bronze valves have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity, and excellent processing performance. They are commonly used in various liquid, gas, and dust pipeline systems and are a high-quality valve material with stable performance and long service life.
