I am working on a little project that needs me to build a valve that will seal against ~1000psi and alow quite a large flowrate. The current design uses o-rings to but I would like to change the design to be more like the valve seales on a car engine i.e. metal on metal. The problem I have is I have no idea what would be the best materials to buid something like this out of. Could someone throw me a few suggestions?
Thanks
Stephen.
