Casting titanium VT1-0 GR2 GR12 gate valve
Gate valves are essential components in many industrial applications, and the material used to cast them is crucial. Titanium is a popular choice due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and low weight. Among the different grades of titanium, VT1-0, GR2, and GR12 are commonly used for casting gate valves.
VT1-0 titanium is a pure grade with high ductility, making it easy to cast and machine. It is suitable for applications with low to moderate strength requirements, such as water treatment, chemical processing, and marine engineering.
GR2 titanium is also a pure grade but with higher strength than VT1-0. It is commonly used in the aerospace industry, as well as in chemical and petrochemical applications that require resistance to corrosive environments.
GR12 titanium is a more complex alloy that contains small amounts of molybdenum and nickel. It h…
