Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for forming a valve seat on an endothermic engine cylinder head, and to a valve seat formed by this method.
  • the present invention also relates to an endothermic engine comprising valve seats formed by this method.
  • the seats for the engine intake and exhaust valves are formed in inserts constructed of alloys of high resistance to wear and oxidation, and driven into suitable compartments provided in the engine cylinder head.
  • This constructional method is used particularly in engines of light alloy construction, in which said inserts are constructed of cast iron and are cold-driven into the cylinder head (FR-A-2.165.646).
  • the described constructional method is not without drawbacks. Specifically, a notching effect is produced in the cylinder head at the edges of the insert carrying the valve seat. This drawback is serious, in that it produces high localised stresses in the cylinder head. Furthermore, because of the size of the inserts and their housing compartments formed in the cylinder head, the dimensions of the bridge (the cylinder head element lying between two adjacent valve seats) must be small, so weakening the cylinder head and requiring the cylinder head cooling ducts to be withdrawn from that head surface facing the engine cylinders, so increasing the thermal stresses acting on the cylinder head.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming valve seats in an endothermic engine cylinder head of light alloy construction, which disposes of the presence of said inserts therein and thus obviates the described drawbacks.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an endothermic engine of light alloy construction provided with valve seats free from the described drawbacks.
  • a method for forming a valve seat on a cylinder head of an endothermic engine of light alloy construction characterised by comprising the following stages:
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates overall an endothermic engine which in the illustrated example is a compression ignition engine, or diesel engine.
  • the engine 1 comprises a cylinder head 2 carrying a plurality of intake and exhaust valves 3 for the engine 1, and a cylinder block 4 comprising a plurality of cylinders 5 defining, together with the respective pistons 6 slidable therein, combustion chambers 7 which are closed towards the valves 3 by a base wall 8 of the cylinder head 2.
  • This latter is provided with housings 9 for the valves 3, and seal seats 10 therefor provided in the wall 8.
  • the housings 9 and the relative seal seats 10 of each pair of valves 3 disposed in any one cylinder 5 are divided by a portion 11 of the cylinder head 2 known technically as the bridge.
  • the portion or bridge 11 is provided with a cooling duct 12 (Ricardo duct) for cooling the seats 10 of the valves 3.
  • the cylinder head 2 is also provided with cooling ducts 13.
  • the ducts 12 and 13 are disposed at predetermined distances from a surface 14 of the wall 8 which faces the chamber 7 and is thus exposed directly to the heat of combustion, and they serve to maintain the temperature of the cylinder head 2 within acceptable limits.
  • the cylinder head 2 and base 4 are constructed of any suitable light alloy, for example an aluminium-based light alloy.
  • the seats 10 must have a hardness and resistance to wear and oxidation which are superior to those of the constituent alloy of the cylinder head 2, because, together with the bridge 11, they represent the most highly stressed regions of the cylinder head 2.
  • each seat 10 comprises a substantially circular compartment or bore 15 which passes through the wall 8 and is bounded by a flared edge 16 and an annular coating 18 of predetermined thickness which coats the edge 16 and is formed as a single piece with the cylinder head 2.
  • the coating 18, which has hardness and strength characteristics superior to those of the base metal material of which the cylinder head 2 is constructed, is formed by alloying with said base material an added material able to form an alloy with the base material in the manner described hereinafter, using a laser beam produced by any power laser apparatus of known type.
  • Said added material can be any metal, ceramic or metallo-ceramic material able to form with the base material an alloy having strength and hardness characteristics superior to those thereof.
  • the base material is constituted substantially by aluminium, and the added material can be any of a whole series of metal or ceramic materials such as nickel powders, nickel-chrome powders, Eatonite powders (the commercial name of an alloy containing carbon, silicon, iron, chromium and mainly nickel), steel powders (of the molybdenum or maraging type), or nickel or chromium powders mixed with oxides.
  • the powders can be deposited on the edge 16 in the form of paste, or by any other method. Alternatively, they can be applied in the form of sintered or prefused foils.
  • valve seats 10 A method is described hereinafter by way of example for forming the aforesaid valve seats 10 in the particular case in which the cylinder head 2 is of light alloy construction, the base material being aluminium and the added material being in the form of iron-based alloys (maraging steels) and/or nickel.
  • composition of these added alloys is substantially as follows. Iron-based alloys: chromium content 5-20%; molybdenum content 3-18%; carbon content 0.2-3% remainder iron and minimum percentages of other elements. Nickel- based alloys: chromium content 5-20%; iron content 1-5%; carbon content 0.2-1 %; remainder nickel and minimum percentages of other elements.
  • FIG. 3 shows a micrograph of a portion of the cylinder head 3 surrounding the bore or compartment 15, in order to form a seat 10 such as that described on the cylinder head 2, an annular layer 19 of predetermined thickness of an added material 20, which in this case mainly contains iron, is firstly applied over the entire edge 16 of each compartment 15.
  • the thickness of the layer 19 is substantially uniform and lies between 0.1 and 1 millimetre, and is preferably about 0.5 millimetres.
  • the layer 19 can be applied to the edge 16 in various ways according to the composition and consistency of the material 20.
  • the layer 19 is solid and compact, in that the material 20 has been deposited by a plasma spray depositing method. This method is well known and consists of atomising the added material 20, constituted by a powder or solid wire, into a jet of gas heated to high temperature, and projecting the plasma spray obtained in this manner onto the surface of the edge 16 via a suitable tube so as to deposit the material 20 in the fluid state onto the relatively cold edge 16, and consequently cause it to rapidly solidify to obtain the layer 19.
  • the layer 19 can be deposited by extrusion, using a suitable device, or manually by means of a spatula.
  • the added material 20 is in the form of a metal powder which is mixed with a solvent in order to obtain a paste, or a fluid substance of high viscosity having gel consistency. This paste is then deposited on the edge 16 to form the layer 1.9.
  • the layer 19 is in the form of a metal foil of maraging steel, possibly obtained by sintering, and simply deposited in contact with the surface of the edge 16.
  • the preferred is the first, i.e. plasma spray depositing, both because this method creates adhesion between the added material 20 and the base material of the cylinder head 2, and because it destroys the thin oxide layer (AI 2 0 3 ) present on the edge 16 of the aluminium cylinder head 2, and which is detrimental to the alloying.
  • the cylinder head 2 After forming the layer 19, the cylinder head 2 is disposed in a working station, not shown, of a power laser apparatus, not shown.
  • a laser beam of predetermined power preferably between 6 and 12 kilowatts, is focused onto the edge 16 of the compartment 15 in a position corresponding with the layer 19.
  • the laser beam is projected onto the cylinder head 2 by a known scanning device, not shown, which moves at predeterminable speed so as to move said laser beam along the edge 16 of the compartment or bore 15 in an annular trajectory at a speed of between 10 and 50 cm/ minute.
  • the laser beam power is also adjusted in accordance with the irradiated area so as to obtain on the cylinder head 2 a specific laser beam power of between 180 and 300 joules/mm 2 , i.e. the cylinder head 2 is irradiated in such a manner as to transmit to it a thermal energy of between 180 and 300 joules for each mm 2 of surface irradiated by the laser beam.
  • the high-melting layer 19 (melting point between 1000 and 1400°C) can be melted together with part of the underlying base material, which is not directly irradiated but is low-melting (660°C).
  • the laser beam on striking the layer 19, the laser beam rapidly heats the material 20 by radiation, and the heat is transmitted by conduction to the cylinder head 2, thus also heating a layer of determined thickness of the base material which immediately surrounds the compartment or bore 15.
  • the laser heating is protracted for a time sufficient for melting all the material 20 of the layer 19 together with the said underlying layer of base material, and to allow diffusion of the former into the latter and vice-versa, so as to form a metal alloy in the substantially liquid state in the compartment or bore 15.
  • the laser beam is suppressed, and the cylinder head 2 is allowed to cool in free air.
  • the high thermal capacity of the cylinder head 2 produces rapid cooling of the metal alloy which has just been formed, so as to cause it to rapidly solidify within the compartment 15, to form the coating 18.
  • Figure 4 which illustrates a micrograph of a portion of a valve seat 10 formed by the described method
  • the metallo-graphic aspect of the darker coating 18 can be clearly seen, its composition corresponding approximately to that of the compound FeA1 3 (35-40% of iron in aluminium).
  • a layer 21 of remelted base material (aluminium) is present immediately below the coating 18, and finally the base material of the cylinder head 2 which has not been altered by the surface thermal treatment undergone by the cylinder head 2 can be seen on the bottom right.
  • the obtained Vickers hardness values are shown to the side of the micrograph.
  • Figure 5 shows by way of example a diagram of the laser parameters, in which the shaded portion illustrates the optimum working region within which the point of intersection of the abscissa representing the laser beam scanning velocity and the ordinate representing the laser beam power must fall in order to obtain best results.
  • valve seats By means of a simple and rapid surface alloying operation, it enables valve seats to be formed which are in one piece with the engine cylinder head but have superior mechanical characteristics (in the illustrated example, the hardness of the cylinder head base material was only 77 Vickers). This means that hard material inserts do not need to be mounted in the cylinder head, thus obviating the weakening of the cylinder head caused by the need to provide the insert seats therein, and by the notching effect produced by these on the cylinder head itself.
  • valve seats formed by the method of the invention are of small overall size, and thus enable the bridge between one valve and the next to be of greater dimensions, and consequently stronger, so enabling the cooling ducts to be brought closer to the explosion chamber and reduce the thermal stresses on the valve seats and on the cylinder head.
