API 602 Forged B381 Gr. F-2 Titanium Globe Valve

Titanium is the main material of titanium alloy valves. It is a highly chemically active metal. It exhibits particularly excellent corrosion resistance to many corrosive media. Titanium and oxygen easily form a strong and dense passive oxide film on their surface. In many harsh corrosive media, this layer of oxide film is very stable and difficult to dissolve. Even if it is damaged, as long as there is sufficient oxygen, it can repair itself and quickly regenerate.

The titanium metal material of titanium valves has good stability and self passivation ability when oxidized into thin films in highly corrosive environments. Its characteristic can resist strong corrosion under various harsh working conditions. Titanium valves rely on the chemical stability of the passive oxide film on their surface in corrosive media to resist corrosion in the working environment. For neutral, oxidizing, and weakly reducing media environments, the passive oxide film itself has good stability. For reducing corrosive media with high temperatures or low pH values, in order to improve the stability of their passive oxide film, corrosion inhibitors such as air, water, heavy metal ions, and anions can be added, and surface ion modification and anodizing treatment can be used to improve the corrosion resistance and surface hardness of titanium in reducing media.

Forged B381 Gr. F-2 globe valve is a commonly used high-pressure valve, mainly used to control the opening or closing of fluid and regulate the flow size of fluid. It is made of forged steel and has high strength and corrosion resistance. The main characteristics of forged steel globe valves include:
