Oil and Gas Valves: Critical Role in Industry Operations
Valves are widely used in the oil and gas industry. Due to the high requirements for materials in valves, alloy steel, austenitic stainless steel, even nickel-based alloys are often used as difficult-to-machine materials. The valve cavity hole is an important feature to be machined on the valve. The valve cavity is deep, with a large diameter and multiple specifications. This makes the machining of the valve cavity hole a difficult point in part machining.
