Forging steel produces material of greater overall strength and toughness for parts and assemblies subjected to higher levels of stress. Forging is basically accomplished by applying localized mechanical pressure across the base steel, eliminating internal voids and gas pockets, while producing a unique oriented grain structure in the metal that delivers increased fatigue resistance.

Higher pressure or temperature applications in fluid process control can benefit from, and sometimes may require, the use of forged steel valves. Their ruggedness and ability to hold up under tough conditions make forged steel valves a good choice for many uses throughout general industrial, oil and gas, and power generation installations.

Forged steel valves are available in a broad range of sizes, connection types, and port configurations. Crane, world class manufacturer of industrial valves, offers forged steel gate, globe, and check valves to provide options for flow direction, stop, and throttle control.

There are almost countless variants and configurations of industrial valves from which to choose. Share your fluid control requirements and challenges with an industrial valve expert, combining your own process knowledge and experience with their product application expertise to develop effective solutions.
