The main processes for ball valve surface treatment include electroplating, spraying, heat treatment and chemical treatment, which are designed to improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance and aesthetics of the ball valve.
Electroplating process:
Electroplating is to plate a layer of metal or alloy on the surface of the ball valve by electrolysis. Common ones are chrome plating and zinc plating. The surface of the chrome-plated ball valve is as bright as a mirror, with good corrosion resistance and hardness; while zinc plating can effectively prevent rust and extend the service life. However, the electroplating process is costly and has great environmental pressure.
Spraying process:
Spraying is to form a protective layer by spraying a layer of paint on the surface of the ball valve. Common paints include epoxy resin paint and polyurethane paint. The spraying process is simple to construct, low-cost, and rich in colors, but the thickness and uniformity of the spray layer have an important influence on the protective effect.
Heat treatment process:
Heat treatment includes methods such as nitriding and quenching. Nitriding treatment can form a dense nitrided layer on the surface of the ball valve to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance; quenching treatment can improve the hardness and strength of the surface of the ball valve. However, the heat treatment process is complex and energy-intensive, and has certain selectivity for materials.
Chemical treatment process:
Chemical treatment changes the surface properties of the ball valve through chemical reactions, and common ones include pickling and passivation treatment. Pickling can remove the oxide scale and rust on the surface, and passivation can form a dense passivation film on the surface to improve corrosion resistance.
Hardening process:
The hardening processes on the surface of the ball valve include surfacing of carbide, hard chrome plating, plasma nitriding and supersonic spraying (HVOF). Surfacing of carbide is complex and has low production efficiency; hard chrome plating has low cost but limited working temperature; plasma nitriding has poor corrosion resistance; supersonic spraying has the characteristics of high bonding strength and low porosity, and is suitable for high-viscosity fluids and highly corrosive environments.
High-end products: With the development of refined industrial production, the control accuracy requirements of ball valves are constantly increasing. Especially in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing and biomedicine that require extremely high fluid control accuracy, ball valves need to have precise flow regulation and switch control capabilities to ensure the stability of the production process and product quality. In addition, the sealing performance of ball valves is also crucial. In the future, more advanced sealing materials and structural designs will be adopted, such as high-performance polytetrafluoroethylene materials, metal hard sealing structures, etc., to achieve zero leakage or extremely low leakage and improve the safety and reliability of equipment.
Intelligence and automation: Intelligent ball valves will integrate intelligent components such as sensors, controllers, and communication modules to achieve remote monitoring, automatic diagnosis, and automatic adjustment of ball valves. For example, sensors can monitor the working status, fluid parameters, and other information of ball valves in real time, and transmit data to the control system to achieve remote control and intelligent management of ball valves. In addition, ball valves will be more closely integrated with industrial automation systems and become an important part of automated production lines.
Green and environmental protection: With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, ball valves will use more environmentally friendly materials, such as recyclable materials and low-pollution materials, to reduce the impact on the environment. At the same time, the production process of ball valves will also pay more attention to energy conservation and emission reduction, adopt advanced manufacturing processes and equipment, and reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions.
Customized services: Different industrial fields and application scenarios have different requirements for ball valves. In the future, ball valve companies will pay more attention to providing customers with customized products and services. For example, for extreme working conditions such as deep low temperature, ultra-high temperature, high pressure, and high vacuum, ball valve companies will design and produce ball valve products that meet special requirements according to the specific needs of customers.
Technological innovation: The electric ball valve industry will continue to increase investment in technology research and development and innovation to improve product performance and quality. For example, by adopting advanced automated production equipment and precision machining technology, production speed and product quality can be improved, while reducing manual errors and scrap rates. The application of high-performance materials will further enhance the reliability and service life of electric ball valves.

Petroleum, Chemical Industry, Metallurgy: In these industries, ball valves are often used in equipment and piping systems for flammable and explosive media, especially in high-pressure piping systems and occasions that require strict sealing.
Electricity: In the power industry, ball valves are used for high-pressure cutoff and flow regulation, and are suitable for higher working pressure and temperature ranges.
Urban Construction: In urban construction, ball valves are used in municipal facilities such as water supply and gas to ensure stable supply and control of fluids.
Special Working Conditions:
Cryogenic (Deep Cold) Devices: Ball valves are suitable for low-temperature environments, such as deep cold devices and piping systems.
Corrosive Media: In piping systems containing corrosive media, ball valves can provide good sealing and corrosion resistance.
High-Pressure Cutoff: Ball valves are suitable for environments that require fast opening and closing and large pressure differences, such as shrinkage channels and mud pipelines in the petroleum and chemical industries.
