Forged 15-5PH Stainless Steel Ball Valve Stem

 
15-5PH (UNS S15500) stainless steel is an ideal material for forging ball valve stems. It belongs to martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel and has high strength, high hardness, excellent toughness, and corrosion resistance. It is very suitable for the precision opening and closing needs of valves under high pressure and corrosive conditions.

Product Advantage

  • High voltage and high-frequency switch: high strength+high fatigue life, long-term opening and closing without bending, continuous, and failure.

  • Corrosive medium (water/oil/acid alkali/chloride ions): Forging dense+15-5PH corrosion resistance, reducing pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking.

  • Precision sealing requirements: stable size, good surface quality, easy precision machining to ensure sealing fit with valve seat/packing.

  • Long lifespan and high reliability: Its comprehensive performance is superior to that of cast/ordinary stainless steel, reducing replacement and maintenance costs.

4. Valve stem manufacturing process
  • Cutting: 15-5PH forged rod/electric slag remelted steel ingot

  • Forging: billet making → pre forging → precision forging (ensuring coaxiality and streamline)

  • Rough machining: leaving a margin for precision machining

  • Solid solution treatment

  • Precision machining: outer circle, thread, square head, sealing groove (soft and easy to machine in solid solution state)

  • Time hardening (aging after precision machining to avoid deformation)

  • Surface treatment: Grinding/polishing (Ra ≤ 0.8), hard chromium plating, nitriding (optional)

  • Testing: Hardness, Non destructive Testing (UT/PT), Dimensions, Mechanical Properties

Product Uses

  • Oil/natural gas: high-pressure wellhead, gathering and transportation, sulfur-containing/chlorinated oil and gas, subsea/deep-sea valves.

  • Chemical/Petrochemical: acid, alkali, salt, solvent, high temperature and high pressure process pipelines.

  • Ocean/Ship: seawater, chloride, salt spray, deck/bilge/platform valves.

  • Energy and electricity: thermal power (high-temperature steam), nuclear power (nuclear grade/radiation resistant), geothermal power.

  • Aerospace: Onboard hydraulic, fuel, and pneumatic systems (high stress/fatigue resistance).

  • High end equipment: precision hydraulic, high-pressure instruments, pharmaceutical/food hygiene grade, semiconductor high-purity systems.
