Valves and components
Valves and valve components are used in a range of industries and are essential to regulate, direct, and control the flow of fluids, slurries, and bulk materials. These materials are then transferred through different means and controlled by industrial valves.
To ensure the installations are working and performing efficiently, valves have to maintain their integrity for several years at a time. A valve breakdown could lead to thousands of tonnes of material being lost, causing environmental damage, material contamination, health and safety risks, and system failures. The primary causes of such failures include wear of the valves, the valve seats, and associated components through cavitation and erosive wear.
Replacement parts in exotic materials or even in standard materials can be costly, often requiring long lead times and months to be delivered, as well as the very real risk of excessive plant downtime.
SOLUTIONS FOR VALVES AND COMPONENTS
Welding Alloys manufacturers a vast range of welding consumables, including exotic materials such as nickel and cobalt-based alloys, and a range of best-in-class automated welding equipment. Through our global network of Integra™ Service Centers, we are ideally positioned to carry out repair services on valves and components through our teams of service engineers and specialists. We operate in many industries and provide cost-effective solutions to combat wear and wear-related problems for valves and valve components.
WHY CHOOSE WELDING ALLOYS?
With over 50 years of experience, our knowledge, wide range of special consumables, and specialised cladding and repair equipment positions us as a global leader in wear protection. Valves and valve components are repaired, cladded, or hardfaced using our advanced range of welding consumables to match the base material.
We also offer alternative materials and solutions for optimum resistance to component wear, depending on the particular challenge. Both options offer technical and cost-saving advantages in terms of component life, maintenance scheduling, and total cost of ownership (TCO).
WA INTEGRA™ OFFERS A UNIQUE COMBINATION
By collaborating with customers, our globally positioned teams ensure the selection of an optimum range of high-quality services, products, and solutions that meet or exceed their specifications.
