ASTM A182 F51 Ball Valve is made of ASTM A182 F51 (UNS S31803) that is a forging material specification for improved corrosion resistance.The ball valve body and trim are all made of ASTM A182 F51.
ASTM A182 F51 is a mixed microstructure of austenitic and ferrite. It has improved strength over ferritic and austenitic steel grades with similar corrosion resistance qualities.
