Applications of Multi-directional Forging Hydraulic Presses in Nuclear Power and Energy Equipment

In the nuclear power and energy equipment field, multi-directional forging hydraulic presses are mainly used to manufacture key pressure-bearing components for high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosion-resistant environments. Their core value lies in their ability to achieve "integral, precision, and defect-free" forming of complex structural parts, fundamentally solving the problems of weak performance, material waste, and insufficient reliability inherent in traditional processes (such as casting, welding, and free forging). Below, Jianlong Hydraulic Technology shares its core applications and latest developments in the nuclear power and energy equipment field:

1. Core Application Scenarios

1.1 Nuclear Power Plants/Nuclear Industry

1.1.1 Typical Components: 6-inch vacuum valve body, DN80 ball valve core, main steam isolation valve, nuclear fuel processing valve body, etc.

1.1.2 Core Functions and Technological Advantages

• Elimination of Welds: Integral forming replaces traditional welded structures, completely eliminating the weak link of welds and greatly reducing the risk of radioactive media leakage.

• Stress Corrosion Resistance: The continuous and intact flow lines of the forged metal significantly enhance its resistance to stress corrosion under high temperature, high pressure, and strong radiation environments.

1.2 Ultracritical (Supercritical) Thermal Power

1.2.1 Typical Components: High-temperature and high-pressure gate valves, stop valves, and three-way valve bodies.

1.2.2 Core Functions and Technological Advantages

Adaptability to Extreme Operating Conditions: Meets the stringent requirements of ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure steam above 600℃, solving the problem of internal defects such as porosity and looseness that are prone to occur in traditional castings, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the power plant.

1.3 Petrochemical Industry

1.3.1 Typical Components: Hydrogenation valve bodies, large ball valves, wellhead equipment, and three/four-way pipe fittings.

1.3.2 Core Functions and Technological Advantages

Corrosion and High Pressure: The valve body, formed through multi-directional forging, has a dense structure and can withstand highly corrosive media (such as hydrogen and sulfides) and high-pressure environments, meeting international standards such as API.

1.4 General Energy Equipment

1.4.1 Typical Components: 3-inch/4-inch gate valves and stop valves for power plants, as well as specialized high-pressure valve bodies and fittings for emerging energy sources such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and hydrogen energy.

1.4.2 Core Role and Technological Advantages

Improved Efficiency and Reliability: Near-net-shape forming significantly reduces machining, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy, and is suitable for modular and mass production.
