Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A valve in an embodiment includes: a valve box in which valve box seat portions are provided; and a valve element on which valve element seat portions are provided. One of the valve box seat portion and the valve element seat portion is formed of a build-up material of a Co-based alloy and the other of the valve box seat portion and the valve element seat portion is formed of a build-up material of an Fe-based alloy. Then, a Vickers hardness of the build-up material of the Co-based alloy is larger than a Vickers hardness of the build-up material of the Fe-based alloy and a difference in the Vickers hardness between the build-up material of the Co-based alloy and the build-up material of the Fe-based alloy is HV50 or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A valve, comprising: a valve box in which valve box seat portion is provided; and a valve element on which valve element seat portion is provided, wherein one of the valve box seat portion and the valve element seat portion is formed of a build-up material of a Co-based alloy, the other of the valve box seat portion and the valve element seat portion is formed of a build-up material of an Fe-based alloy, and a Vickers hardness of the build-up material of the Co-based alloy is larger than a Vickers hardness of the build-up material of the Fe-based alloy and a difference in the Vickers hardness between the build-up material of the Co-based alloy and the build-up material of the Fe-based alloy is HV50 or more. 2 . The valve according to claim 1 , wherein the Vickers hardness of the build-up material of the Fe-based alloy is HV380 or more and HV400 or less. 3 . The valve according to claim 1 to be used in an atomic power plant. 4 . A plant configured using the valve according to claim 1 .
