Forging vs Casting Valves Unlike forging, casting uses liquid metal to make the valve. These metals are melted into molten liquid and poured into various molds. Once the liquid cools and solidifies, it cracks or pops out of the mold.
One of the greatest benefits of casting is that it can create valves with complex shapes, patterns and dimensions. Using molds to make these devices gives you more freedom to manufacture different types of valves with more complex parts.
Cast valves are also an extremely cost-effective solution for many companies. It allows you to make valves from more types of metals and alloys. Also, because it does not require as much labor as forging valves, casting helps reduce tooling costs, especially when making valves of complex shapes.
Best of all, cast valves provide a simpler and less time-consuming method of replacing parts when the system's current valves fail and age.
