Definitions
- the invention relates to a powder-metallurgically manufactured valve body with high temperature and wear resistance and a valve equipped therewith for internal combustion engines.
- Intake and exhaust valves for internal combustion engines must meet high requirements for temperature resistance and wear resistance. Particularly in the case of highly compressed modern engines with multi-valve technology and electronic control, it has become increasingly a problem to find materials which can permanently cope with the high temperatures prevailing at the outlet. Accordingly, valves have become more and more complex to manufacture, which has had an impact on the material and processing costs.
- valve seat - were provided with inductive seat hardening or seat armor. This should keep the wear within acceptable limits, taking into account that too With this technology, valve temperatures of 800 ° C - 900 ° C should not be exceeded. However, this is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain in modern engines.
- valves and valve bodies have become extremely complicated, particularly when armor is used.
- the valve body is first produced by heating, compressing, calibrating and rotating, to which a rod section is added by friction welding.
- Other work steps include straightening, turning, grinding and cladding, grinding and heat treatment to the finished valve with seat armor.
- the build-up welding can lead to errors, which results in an undesirably high reject rate.
- valve bodies from a uniform material in as few steps as possible, the material ensuring the necessary wear resistance, service life and heat dissipation, and with a rod to a valve connect.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to produce valve bodies for valves by powder metallurgy from a suitable material, in particular taking into account the production costs.
- Seat armor should be dispensable and the valve or the valve body should have sufficient thermal conductivity for temperature control.
- the valve body should be able to be butt-connected with a conventionally manufactured valve rod to a functional and permanent valve.
- valve body manufactured by powder metallurgy which has the following composition by weight:
- the invention further relates to valves manufactured with this valve body.
- the metal powder used according to the invention is characterized in particular by a very high carbon, molybdenum and phosphorus content.
- the carbon and phosphorus content cause the formation of temperature-resistant and wear-reducing carbide and phosphide phases, which give the material the necessary service life.
- Chromium, vanadium and tungsten can be added to vary the range of properties, but are not absolutely necessary in particular for the production of valves and valve parts.
- An appreciable sulfur content can serve as an internal lubricant, especially if it is MoS 2 , but is generally not necessary for valves and parts.
- the valve body produced by powder metallurgy according to the invention can be produced by conventional press-sintering processes. This also includes hot isostatic pressing, although this is not absolutely necessary.
- valve bodies according to the invention can be produced from the corresponding element powders.
- finished alloy components for the production, for example a finished alloy steel component, a phosphorus-molybdenum steel, optionally MoS 2 and, if necessary, graphite, in each case in powder form.
- metal powders of irregular shape produced by atomization processes which can give the pressed part produced therefrom a certain internal cohesion by means of teeth.
- customary auxiliaries can be added, for example wax, in an amount of up to 1% by weight, based on the alloy powder.
- Dendritic or spattery powders with an average diameter of less than 150 ⁇ m are preferably used, preferably less than 50 ⁇ m.
- Carbon is expediently admixed as graphite with an average size of 10 ⁇ m or less, if not already sufficiently represented in the finished alloy powder.
- the PMoFe steel powder, as can be used here, is described in WO-A-91/18123.
- Powder composition with 0.5 to 2.0% carbon, 5.0 to 14% molybdenum, 0.2 to 1, 0% phosphorus, 0.1 to 1, 2% manganese, maximum 0.50% chromium and maximum 0, 40% sulfur. Other elements in this case are less than 2% represented, the rest is iron.
- the composition is based on weight percent.
- the finished valve body should have a density of at least 7.7 g / cm 3 .
- valves or valve bodies according to the invention show high wear resistance even at the high temperatures and loads in the valve train, in particular for exhaust valves.
- valve body is made of the materials described above.
- the shaft is made conventionally, ie without powder metallurgy techniques, from a conventional material.
- the valve body and valve rod are butted together. In the case of the butt fit, the connection by means of a friction welding process is preferred, although other joining processes can also be used.
- valve bodies these have the advantage over conventional valve bodies that they consist of a uniform material, ie they do not require local modification in order to adapt them to the particular circumstances of a piston outlet of an internal combustion engine. In addition to advantages in terms of production technology, this also means that the product is less susceptible to faults and damage, both in the manufacturing and in the operating phase.
- the valve bodies according to the invention are produced from the premixed or finished alloy powder as follows. First, the blank is pressed out of the powder with the aid of a conventional wax as a lubricant under customary pressing pressures to give moldings with a sufficient density. The pressure is expediently between 500 and 900 MPa. After pressing, the product is first dewaxed under a hydrogen-nitrogen protective gas atmosphere at a temperature of 500 to 750 ° C and then in an oven at a temperature of more than 900 ° C, preferably more than 1000 ° C, up to 1150 ° C, sintered. Pressures and temperatures essentially depend on the desired density of the molded part and on the composition of the metal powder. After cooling, the parts are left on and subjected to the necessary post-treatment steps.
- valve body and valve stem according to the invention are made in separate work steps and then joined.
- the valve body is manufactured using powder metallurgy, the stump conventionally. In this constellation, the body and shaft can be joined together by friction welding. After the joining step, the valve is reworked.
- Fig. 1 shows a valve body 1, which is made by powder metallurgy and is provided for butt connection to a stem 2.
- a sintered body made of sintered molybdenum-phosphor steel with a density of 6.9 g / cm 3 was obtained.
- the molded body showed good wear resistance and a finely divided structure of various carbides in a tempered martensitic matrix with embedded solid lubricant under high surface loads.
