Alumina valve cores and valve seats are high-performance industrial valve components made primarily from alumina (Al₂O₃), possessing the following significant characteristics
1. Excellent mechanical properties: Compressive strength can reach over 2000 MPa, Mohs hardness is 9 (second only to diamond), and wear resistance is several to tens of times greater than that of ordinary metal valve plates.
2. Superior temperature resistance: Melting point is as high as 2050℃, and the long-term operating temperature can reach 1600℃, maintaining structural stability even in high-temperature environments.
3. Outstanding corrosion resistance: It can resist the erosion of strong acids, strong bases, and various chemical media, and its chemical inertness is superior to metal materials.
4. Precise sealing performance: The surface is mirror-finished with a roughness of Ra≤0.4μm, enabling zero-leakage sealing.
5. Lightweight design: Density is 3.5-4.5 g/cm³, making it 60%-70% lighter than traditional metal valve cores.
