Brass Valve Components | Precision Cast Copper Alloy Parts for Fluid Control Systems
With over 10 years of experience as an integrated manufacturer and exporter specializing in copper alloy casting, we focus on the R&D and production of high-precision brass valve components. As core parts of fluid control systems, our brass valve castings are engineered to deliver exceptional sealing performance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and pressure-bearing capacity. Serving global B2B clients in water supply and drainage, heating ventilation, petrochemical, marine, and industrial fluid control industries, we provide one-stop customization solutions from technical communication and process optimization to global delivery, backed by a professional technical team, advanced casting processes, and strict quality control.
Product Overview: Brass Valve Components
Our brass valve components are precision-customized cast parts tailored for various valve types, including ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, check valves, and butterfly valves. Core products cover valve bodies, valve cores, valve seats, valve discs, valve covers, and valve stems—all crafted from high-performance brass alloys (H62, H65, H68) that meet the strict requirements of fluid control systems. The core functions include reliable fluid shut-off and regulation, leak-proof sealing, resistance to medium corrosion (water, oil, gas, chemical reagents), and adaptation to different pressure and temperature working conditions (pressure up to 4.0MPa, temperature -20℃~120℃). Leveraging advanced brass casting technology, our parts feature uniform material structure, precise dimensional accuracy, and excellent mechanical properties, ensuring the stable and efficient operation of valves. Meanwhile, we supply matching cast iron or stainless steel auxiliary components (such as valve brackets, handwheels) to meet comprehensive assembly needs of valve manufacturers. All products comply with international valve industry standards (API, ANSI, DIN) and pass strict sealing and pressure-bearing tests, providing reliable quality guarantees for fluid control systems.
Production Processes & Workflow (Valve-Specific Optimization)
Combining our expertise in brass casting and the special requirements of valve components (sealing, pressure-bearing), we adopt a standardized and visualized production process to ensure the quality and performance of each casting. The core production process (focused on sand casting and low-pressure casting for brass) includes:
1. Valve Industry Demand Analysis & Design Optimization: Our professional engineers, with rich experience in valve component design, conduct in-depth communication with customers to clarify requirements (valve type, working pressure, medium type, dimensional tolerance, sealing performance). Using CAD/CAM/CAE software, we perform 3D modeling and finite element analysis to simulate fluid flow and pressure-bearing performance. We optimize the part structure to enhance sealing performance and pressure-bearing capacity, avoiding stress concentration and dead zones in fluid channels. For sealing-critical parts (valve seats, valve cores), we design precise matching structures to ensure zero leakage.
2. High-Quality Brass Selection & Inspection: Strictly select brass alloys with excellent casting performance, corrosion resistance, and machinability (H62, H65, H68) from authorized suppliers. These materials are specially processed to reduce internal impurities and ensure uniform composition. We conduct comprehensive raw material testing, including chemical composition analysis (via spectrometer), mechanical property detection (tensile test, hardness test), and corrosion resistance testing, to ensure they meet the performance requirements of valve components.
3. Precision Mold Making for Valve Parts: For brass valve components with complex structures (such as valve bodies) and high precision requirements, we adopt high-precision mold manufacturing technology. The mold core and cavity are processed by CNC machining centers and EDM to ensure dimensional tolerance ±0.02mm. For small-batch custom valve projects, we use rapid mold development technology, shortening the mold cycle by 25% to help customers accelerate new product launch.
4. Core Casting Process (Sand/Low-Pressure Casting): We mainly adopt sand casting and low-pressure casting for brass valve components. Sand casting is suitable for complex-structured valve bodies and small-to-medium batch production, ensuring good shape adaptability. Low-pressure casting is applied to precision parts (such as valve cores, valve seats), which enhances material density and sealing performance by utilizing stable pressure pouring. The casting temperature is precisely controlled at 1080-1150℃, and the pouring speed is adjusted to avoid oxidation and internal defects. For parts requiring high corrosion resistance, we adopt vacuum casting technology to reduce internal porosity.
5. Valve-Oriented Post-Casting Processing: After casting, parts undergo trimming, shot blasting (SA2.5 standard), and deburring to remove surface defects. Precision machining is then performed using CNC lathes and milling machines to ensure key sealing and assembly dimensions (such as valve seat fitting tolerance) meet requirements. For valve stems and other moving parts, we conduct grinding and polishing to reduce friction and improve wear resistance.
6. Targeted Surface Treatment for Valves: Provide surface treatment options adapted to different fluid media and working environments: electroplating (chrome/nickel plating) to enhance wear resistance and corrosion resistance; passivation to improve oxidation resistance; epoxy resin coating for outdoor valve components to resist weathering; tin plating for parts in contact with drinking water (complying with FDA standards). All treatments comply with environmental standards (RoHS) and do not affect fluid safety.
7. Strict Valve-Specific Quality Inspection: Implement multi-level quality control tailored to valve components. Key inspections include: dimensional inspection (via Coordinate Measuring Machine, CMM) to ensure precision; non-destructive testing (ultrasonic, X-ray) to detect internal defects; sealing test (hydrostatic/pneumatic pressure test) to verify leak-proof performance; pressure-bearing test to confirm pressure resistance; and corrosion resistance testing (salt spray test). Only products passing all inspections and obtaining quality inspection reports can be delivered.
In addition to the core sand and low-pressure casting processes, we also master die casting and centrifugal casting technologies, which can be flexibly applied to auxiliary valve components (such as cast iron valve brackets) or small precision brass parts, providing comprehensive production support for valve manufacturers.
