Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for producing rocker arms for internal combustion engines.
  • a process for producing a rocker arm for an internal combustion engine comprising the steps of: fabricating a rocker arm blank which has apertures adapted to be converted into a shaft insertion hole, and which is made of steel whose composition comprises 0.3% (inclusive) to 0.5% (inclusive) by weight of carbon (C), 0.3% (inclusive) to 1.5% (inclusive) by weight of manganese (Mn), 0.9% (inclusive) to 1.5% (inclusive) by weight of chromium (Cr), 0.7% (inclusive) to 1.5% (inclusive) by weight of aluminum (Al), 0.35% by weight or less of silicon (Si), 0.03% by weight or less of phosphorus (P), 0.03% by weight or less of sulfur (S), 0.3% by weight or less of copper (Cu), 0.25% by weight or less of nickel (Ni), one of 0.04% (inclusive) to 0.15% (inclusive) by weight of lead (Pb) and 0.03% (inclusive) to 0.1% (inclusive)
  • the above-described nitrided steel may, optionally, further contain 0.15 % (inclusive) to 0.3 % (inclusive) by weight of molybdenum (Mo) in addition to the above-described chemical constituents.
  • rocker arm blank having the composition specified, as described above is subjected to the refining treatment as described above, its properties, such as ductility and toughness, will have been improved to levels optimal for a rocker arm, and the hardness of the blank can be adjusted to a value (HRC) in the range of about 20 to 30, which values are those minimally required to achieve the required strength, when the machinability of the blank is also taken into consideration.
  • HRC a value
  • the shaft insertion holes can be easily formed by subjecting the apertures to a reaming operation.
  • the nitriding treatment causes a surface hardening of the entire rocker arm blank, and improved wear resistance is provided to open surfaces and the inner surface of each shaft insertion hole. Because the nitriding treatment is carried out at a relatively low temperature, thermal strain and the like are not produced in the shaft insertion hole and therefore, finishing of the shaft insertion hole, by machining after the nitriding treatment, is not required.
  • the fabrication of the rocker arm blank of this invention is performed with good efficiency by using forging, machining, or the like treatments, and a refining treatment.
  • the reaming and the nitriding treatment can be carried out upon a large number of rocker arm blanks at the same time, leading to an improved mass-productivity of the rocker arm of this invention.
  • Carbon (C) has the effect of enhancing the core portion of the blank, which is to be covered with a nitrided layer, to increase the tensile strength of a produced rocker arm. However, if the C content is less than 0.3 % by weight, such effect is not obtained. On the other hand, if the C content is more than 0.5 % by weight, a notched portion in a produced rocker arm has a reduced fatigue strength.
  • Manganese (Mn) has the effect of enhancing the hardness of the core portion of the rocker arm blank, as does the carbon (C). However, if the Mn content is less than 0.3 % by weight, such effect is not obtained. On the other hand, if the Mn content is more than 1.5 % by weight, the machinability of the rocker arm blank is degraded as a result of the coalescence of inclusions in the steel.
  • Chromium (Cr) has the effect of promoting the nitriding of the rocker arm blank to increase the depth of the nitrided layer and to increase the fatigue strength of the resulting rocker arm. However, if the Cr content is less than 0.9 % by weight, such effect is not obtained. On the other hand, if the Cr content is more than 1.5 % by weight, the machinability of the rocker arm blank is lowered.
  • Al Similar to chromium (Cr) aluminum (Al) has the effect of increasing the depth of the nitrided layer, and the effect of enhancing the hardness of the nitrided layer to improve the wear resistance of the rocker arm. However, if the Al content is less than 0.7 % by weight, such effects are not obtained. On the other hand, if the Al content is more than 1.5 % by weight, the toughness of the nitrided layer is reduced.
  • Silicon (Si) has the effect of enhancing the toughness of a rocker arm. However, if the Si content is less than 0.35 % by weight, such effect is not obtained, and the machinability of the rocker arm blank is degraded.
  • Phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) are elongation reducing elements and hence, the P content is set in a range represented by P ⁇ 0.03 % by weight, and the S content is set in a range represented by S ⁇ 0.03 % by weight.
  • the copper (Cu) has the effect of strengthening the steel matrix. However, if the Cu content is more than 0.3 % by weight, the machinability of the rocker arm blank is reduced.
  • Nickel (Ni) has an effect similar to the effect of the copper. However, if the Ni content is more than 0.25 % by weight, the machinability of the rocker arm blank is reduced.
  • each of lead (Pb) and bismuth (Bi) have a machinability of enhancing effect. However, if the Pb content is less than 0.04 % by weight or if the Bi content is less than 0.03 % by weight, the machinability the rocker arm blank is degraded. On the other hand, if the Pb content is more than 0.15 % by weight or if the Bi content is more than 0.1 % by weight, the rocker arm produced from such steel has a reduced fatigue strength.
  • Molybdenum (Mo) has a nitriding promoting effect, i.e., an effect of increasing the hardness of a diffused layer of nitrogen and the effect of enhancing the hardenability of the steel to increase the hardness of the core portion of the rocker arm.
  • Mo content is less than 0.15% by weight, such effects are not obtained.
  • Mo content is more than 0.3% by weigh, the machinability of the rocker arm blank is lowered.
  • the structure does not achieve its desired hardness because the hardness of the core portion is low.
  • (T1) > 950°C and (t1) > 2 hours cracks are produced during the hardening portion of the refining treatment.
  • tempering treating temperature (T2) is lower than 600°C and/or the tempering treating time (t2) is less than 0.5 hours in the tempering portion of the refining treatment, machinability is lowered because of higher hardness. On the other hand, if (T2) > 700°C and/or (t2) > 2 hours, the rocker arm does not achieve the required strength.
  • nitriding treating temperature (T3) is less than 550°C and the treating time (t3) is less than 5 hours a sufficient depth of the nitrided layer is not obtained.
  • (T3) > 610°C and/or (t3) > 8 hours the strain in the produced rocker arm is increased to unacceptable levels.

  • the first intake-side rocker arm 25 in each of examples 1 to 3 had an excellent strength at yield point and showed a smaller wear amount at the opening edge 80 of the first guide hole 50 and hence, had excellent mechanical characteristics. Further, as compared with the rocker arm of comparative examples 1 and 2, the first intake-side rocker arm 25 in example 3 had an increased hardness because of the Mo contained therein. The amounts of wear of the inner surfaces of the first guide hole 50 and the support hole 36 were extremely small, because the sliding conditions were quite moderated, as compared with the opening edge 80.
