Abstract

See full text

Hard facing layers provided on engagement portions of a valve body and engagement portions of a valve box of a valve apparatus, consisting of cobalt-free Ni-base alloys. One of the Ni-base alloys for the hard facing layers comprises not more than 15% Fe and less than 2% W (tungsten), and the other comprises more than 15% Fe. More specifically, one of the cobalt-free Ni-base alloys essentially consists of, by weight, 15 to 20% Cr, 5 to 10% Si, 10 to 15% Fe, less than 2% W, and the balance of Ni and unavoidable impurities, and has a Vickers hardness (Hv) 510 to 630, and the other essentially consists of, by weight, 5 to 15% Cr, 5 to 10% Si, more than 15% and not more than 30% Fe, 1 to 4% W, and the balance of Ni and unavoidable impurities, and has a Vickers hardness (Hv) 400 to 470. The valve apparatus of the invention is suitably installed in a water pipe line which communicates with a nuclear reactor.
