Abstract
A high-pressure valve assembly includes a valve body, a unibody choke valve stem, and a unibody choke valve seat having surface hardened wear surfaces formed thereon. The wear surfaces formed are interacting wear surfaces, as with tribological applications. The wear surfaces are hardened using a boronization process or a thermal spray application process. The boronization process is performed using discrete parameters to obtain one of a minimum depth of deposited boronization elements and a desired measured surface hardness value.
