Stellite 6 Valve Seat | Wear-Resistant Cobalt Chrome Alloy Seat

Description Of Stellite 6 Valve Seat

Stellite 6 Valve Seat is a high-performance valve seat manufactured from Stellite 6, a cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy known for its exceptional wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature strength. Stellite 6 is one of the most widely used cobalt-based alloys, containing approximately 28% chromium, 4.5% tungsten, and 1.2% carbon.

Stellite 6 valve seats are designed to withstand severe abrasion, erosion, and high-pressure fluid flow without galling or seizure. The material maintains its hardness and mechanical properties at elevated temperatures up to 800°C, making it ideal for high-temperature and high-pressure valve applications.

Stellite 6 valve seats are available in custom sizes and configurations, with surface finishes including machined, ground, lapped, and polished. Typical applications include oil & gas valves (gate valves, ball valves, check valves), chemical processing valves, and high-pressure valve systems.
