What Is Valve Casting?

Valve casting is a core industrial manufacturing process that pours molten metal into precision molds to form complete valve components including valve bodies, bonnets, cores, discs, plugs and housings. Compared with forging processing, valve casting features flexible alloy selection, support for complex geometric structures, lower secondary machining costs and efficient mass production, making it the mainstream production method for industrial valve manufacturing and OEM custom valve parts..

Our Main Valve Casting Types

We produce a full range of valve castings covering mainstream industrial valve bodies, valve cores, valve bonnets, impellers and related valve accessories. Our product lineup adapts to low, medium and high pressure working conditions and various corrosive media:
