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.
