valve manufacture from Plate instead of forging /Casting
(OP)
I have been offered a valve manufactured from Plate, its the first time I have ever been offered this , it usually cast of forged. I am looking to get a Butterfly 12" 600# valve manufactured what do you think?

Rough dimensions/configuration of the finished part. Is this a 'odd/complex' configuration... or very simple/straightforward config?
Alloy/temper/form of the material 'was' and 'proposed'. NOTE: if manufacturing changes temper [in-process HT] then from 'what-to-what-to-what'?
Machined-part finishes or other treatments?
Any special performance requirements?
NOTE. I would have suspected the alternate might be MF forged block... for the rough size description it would seem that massively thick plate would be required.
