Nickel Forged Valves Characteristics

Nickel forged valves are designed to fit on or connect to equipment for controlling processes such as controlling, liquid, pressure, or gas. These valves are most commonly made of nickel alloys such as Copper-Nickel, Monel, or Inconel. Nickel is high strength, low-corrosion, malleable, and ductile. With alloys, such as Monel (mainly composed of copper and nickel), the conductivity, low-corrosiveness,and other highly important properties are increased.

Some more characteristics of Nickel forged fittings include:

  • Hard metal
  • High strength; creep strength often increased
  • Electrical conductivity
  • Resistant to heat
  • Resistant to corrosion
  • Excellent durability
  • High pressure tightness

  • The three main specifications listed provide the requirements for manufacture of a variety of forged items, including valves to industry standards such as ASME B16.34. These alloys are primarily selected for use in high temperature and/or corrosive environments.

    Incoloy alloys 800H and 800HT are utilized in high temperature services where resistance to creep and rupture is required.

    When availability of starting material is a problem, some manufacturers will offer valves machined from Nickel 200 and 201 B/SB160 bar and Incoloy 825 from B/SB425 bar. Customer approval may be required.
  • These three main specifications each have their own requirement for ordering material.

    A/SA182: Refers to the guidelines in Common Requirements Specification A/SA961, along with addressing any options offered in A/SA182 and any purchaser requirement for manufacturing drawings for approval.
