Valve Cladding

Ultraweld are the best Valve Cladding Service Providers in Pune. As a leading Valve Cladding Service Providers,we provides advanced technology valve which results accurate performance in your industrial operations. Valve cladding is a specialized process designed to enhance the durability and performance of industrial valves used in demanding environments. By applying a high-alloy cladding to the internal surfaces of valves, this technique provides significant resistance to corrosion, wear, and erosion, ensuring long-term reliability and functionality.

As a Pune’s best valve cladding service providers,we provide two different cladding processes :

  • Metallurgically cladded plates
  • Mechanically bonded pipes

Valve Cladding Solutions

We provide custom weld overlay solutions for all types of industrial valve components:

Valve Body
Valve Body

A valve body is a crucial component in fluid control systems, regulating the flow and pressure within pipelines and machinery.

Valve adaptor with weld overlay cladding
Adaptor

A valve adaptor connects and adapts different types of valves to ensure compatibility and efficient fluid control in a system.

Valve Ball
Valve Ball

A valve ball is a spherical component within ball valves that controls fluid flow by rotating to open or close the passageway

Gate Valve
Gate Valve

A gate valve is a type of valve that uses a sliding gate to control the flow of fluid, offering a reliable shut-off mechanism for pipelines.

Technical Specifications

Valve Types

Complete cladding overlays for ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, check valves, and control valves.

Substrate

Carbon steel castings and forgings (such as A216 WCB, A105, A350 LF2, etc.).

Cladding Alloys

Corrosion and wear resistant alloys including Inconel 625, Stellite 6, Stellite 21, and SS 316L.

Overlay Thickness

We guarantee 3mm to 6mm finished cladding thickness after final machining and dimensional checks.

Which valve surfaces are clad

AreaWhy it is clad
Seat pockets and seal areasCrevices here corrode first, and any pitting causes leakage
Ring grooves and flange facesGasket sealing surfaces must stay undamaged
Body bore and cavityFull protection of all wetted surfaces in sour or seawater service
Balls and gatesCorrosion protection, with hardfacing on the sealing faces

Partial or full cladding

Partial cladding protects only the sealing areas and is the economical choice where the fluid is mildly corrosive. Full cladding covers every wetted surface and is specified for sour service, seawater and aggressive chemicals.

Corrosion alloys and hardfacing alloys

Inconel 625 and stainless overlays protect against corrosion. Seats and other sliding faces need wear resistance as well, so they are hardfaced with Stellite 6 or 21, or coated with tungsten carbide for metal seated valves.

After cladding

  • The overlay is machined to the drawing dimensions.
  • Finished thickness is checked against the minimum specified.
  • The surface is examined for defects.
  • Sealing faces are ground and lapped.

What to include in an enquiry

  • Valve type, size and pressure class
  • Drawings marking the areas to clad
  • Base material and overlay alloy
  • Finished overlay thickness and inspection required

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Valve Cladding

Why cladding in pipes and fittings?

In order to reduce the cost of pipelines for corrosion applications for pressured oil and gas and refinery piping, cladding is used within the pipes and fittings. Carbon steel or low alloy steel handles the design pressure, and the cladded material inside the pipe fights corrosion.

Which materials are typically used for cladding?

Weld overlay cladding commonly uses nickel alloys such as Inconel 625 and Inconel 825, Hastelloy and Monel, along with duplex stainless steel, SS316 and SS410. Inconel 625 is the most widely specified because it resists chlorides and sour fluids. The alloy is chosen for the fluid the component will carry.

How thick must the undiluted chemical be within the pipe on average?

For a standard application, the layer of undiluted cladding alloy, measured from the finished surface, is 3 mm on average. Below that depth the overlay is mixed with iron from the base metal, so it is the undiluted thickness that provides the corrosion resistance.

Why is overlaid cladding welded?

Weld overlayed cladding offers a concrete solution for a differential thermal expansion between back up and clad material, and is therefore commonly utilized for high pressure and high temperature applications.

What uses do cladded pipes and fittings have?

Cladded pipes and fittings are used wherever the fluid would corrode carbon steel. Because produced hydrocarbons are often sour and corrosive, they are common in oil and gas flowlines, refinery and petrochemical piping and offshore systems, where an alloy layer protects a carbon steel pipe at a fraction of the cost of solid alloy.
