Ball Valves Material
Material :
CS, LTCS - common, LTCS for low temp.
SS, Duplex, Super Duplex - corrosion resist steel, Duplex have roughly twice
strength due to a mixed microstructure of austenite and ferrite
Titanium
Nickel Alloys (Inconel) - Corrosion resist, suited in high pressurize and
heated environtment
Ni Al Br (Cupronickle Alloy) – high corrosion resistance for sea water
application
Alloy Steel, Ductile Cast Iron, Bronze
Hastelloy – high corrosion resist alloy based on nickel and can survive in
high-temperature, high-stress situations such as chemical reactor (owned by
Haynes Int.)

Duplex stainless steels are called “duplex” because they have a two-phase microstructure
consisting of grains of ferritic and austenitic stainless steel. The picture shows the yellow
austenitic phase as “islands” surrounded by the blue ferritic phase. When duplex stainless steel
is melted it solidifies from the liquid phase to a completely ferritic structure. As the material cools
to room temperature, about half of the ferritic grains transform to austenitic grains (“islands”). The
result is a microstructure of roughly 50% austenite and 50% ferrite

Strength: Duplex stainless steels are about twice as strong as regular
austenitic or ferritic stainless steels.
