ABSTRACT

Example valve bodies having resistant inner cores are disclosed herein. An
example method includes forming a monolithic inner core of a valve body using
a first material. The monolithic inner core defines a flow path of the valve
body. The monolithic inner core has a thickness that varies between a first
wetted portion of the flow path and a second wetted portion of the flow path
different than the first wetted portion. The monolithic inner core provides
erosion and corrosion resistant characteristics against process fluids. The
method further includes overmolding an outer shell of the valve body to the
monolithic inner core, the outer shell including a second material different
than the first material.
