Mining and mineral processing facilities present a host of threats that can affect valve reliability and uptime. Knife gate valves used in slurry transport, for example, must consistently perform despite heavy contact with abrasive, corrosive metal solids or acids that can erode the valve.
Magnagold enhanced titanium nitride physical vapor deposition coating (PVD) resists wear and abrasion up to 20 times better than stainless steel.
