[0002] In recent years, my country's deep and ultra-deep oil and gas resources have accounted for more than 34% of the country's total oil and gas resources. Deep and ultra-deep layers have become the main battlefield for major oil and gas discoveries in my country. With the deepening of ultra-deep drilling depth, China's complex continental geological conditions and large-scale volume fracturing of unconventional oil and gas require the development of ultra-high pressure major key wellhead equipment.
[0003] The technical indicators of flat gate valves are mainly measured from the aspects of pressure bearing performance, sealing performance, operating performance, and service life. At present, domestic tungsten carbide and other flat valves have serious wear and tear, short life, cracking and falling off during use, which seriously affects the efficiency and safety of oil and gas production. Therefore, it has become an important research topic to carry out technical innovation on the wear-resistant materials of ultra-high pressure wellhead flat valves and improve their wear resistance and service life.

Therefore, it has become an important research topic to carry out technical innovation on the wear-resistant materials of ultra-high pressure wellhead flat valves and improve their wear resistance and service life. Ultra-high pressure wellhead flat valve is an important wellhead equipment, and its components include valve body, valve seat and valve plate, among which the valve plate is the core component. The frequent opening and closing of the wellhead requires it to have impact resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to: the overall structure of the flat valve plate is relatively simple, easy to use, has high structural strength and high corrosion resistance.
