Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve for internal-combustion engines, in particular a titanium valve, in which at least one region of the valve has a nitrided layer formed by titanium nitrides and aluminium-titanium nitrides, providing excellent wear resistance and high hardness.
  • High-speed engines result in high levels of inertia in the movement of the valves, causing excessive wear of the components. For this reason, high-speed engines usually use valves made of a titanium-based material in order to reduce the weight of these components. The lighter weight and the greater strength at high temperatures of titanium alloys result in same being used in these valves, due to the inertial characteristics thereof.
  • the steel lash cap is a somewhat unsatisfactory solution for the problem of the low wear resistance of titanium.
  • the assembly of the steel lash cap is a problem, since said lash cap may become removed from the valve when the engine is running. Since the engines that use titanium valves run at very high speeds, there is a very high level of inertia and the wear that may be caused between the parts can cause the steel lash cap to become detached and to cause significant damage to the engine.
  • treating the valve seat can also improve the durability of the component in the most critical applications in terms of wear resistance combined with contact fatigue.
  • Patent document US 5051140 discloses a method for treating a titanium or titanium-alloy surface comprising a process for pre-treating a workpiece comprising titanium or a titanium alloy with an acid to clean said workpiece, a heating process for heating the pre-treated workpiece in an oxidative atmosphere for a predetermined period of time to form a composite layer comprising oxide layers and oxygen-enriched layers on the surface of the workpiece, and a process for rapidly cooling the treated workpiece to remove a scale layer formed on the outermost layer of said composite layer on the surface of the workpiece.
  • This method is limited in that it can only be applied to layers up to 10 microns thick and causes dimensional distortions as a result of the high heat treatment temperatures, as well as being a very slow method.
  • Patent document US 4852531 discloses a valve for internal-combustion engines having a valve stem of a titanium alloy strengthened by the inclusion of a compound containing titanium such as titanium carbide (TiC), titanium boride (TiB) or titanium diboride (TiB 2 ).
  • the valve stem is joined to a valve tip formed from a powder of a titanium alloy, preferably of the same composition as the alloy of the stem.
  • the tip and the stem are joined by cold compaction followed by vacuum sintering and a high temperature compaction.
  • this method uses expensive, explosive materials with a complex consolidation method, and the product has limited resistance.
  • patent document US 5441235 discloses a valve made from titanium with an in situ zone of titanium nitride extending from the valve's outer surface by means of a plasma nitriding process. This solution is limited by the thickness of the coating, typically below 50 microns, investment in a costly technology and low nitride content.
  • the patent document JP S61 126312 A discloses a valve for internal-combustion engines provided with a body or a substrate including a titanium ally, wherein at least one region of the valve has a nitride layer formed by titanium nitrides.
  • the patent document WO 95/09932 A1 discloses a titanium alloy product having good tribological properties without the need to introduce alloy into the surface. This is obtained by casting or casting and forging a titanium alloy consisting of 2 to 15% by weight silicon or 5 to 15% by weight nickel, 0 to 7% by weight of at least one strengthening alloy selected from aluminium, tin, zirconium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, molybdenum and niobium, and 0 to 2% by weight of a surface improving alloying element selected from boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and zirconium, the balance apart from impurities and incidental ingredients being titanium. Such alloy is then surface treated by surface melting and rapid solidification so as to produce a hard, wear-resistant surface layer without substantially affecting the bulk properties of the alloy.
  • the patent document EP 2 963 255 A1 discloses a valve for use in an internal combustion engine, in which at least one area subjected to a process of plastic deformation, such as the area of the neck of the valve, is provided with at least 17 % solubilized metallic chromium. Furthermore, a method capable of providing a mechanism of solubilization of chromium in the structure of the valve is disclosed.
  • the patent document JP 3 018804 B2 discloses a treatment method for forming a treatment layer having high strength and wear resistance by diffusing aluminium and nitrogen on the surface of a titanium alloy.
  • valves for internal-combustion engines in particular a titanium valve, in which at least one region of the valve has a nitrided layer formed by titanium nitrides and/or aluminium-titanium nitrides, providing excellent wear resistance and high hardness and durability.
  • a first objective of the present invention is to provide a valve for internal-combustion engines, in particular a titanium valve, in which at least one region of the valve has a nitrided layer formed by titanium nitrides (TiN) and aluminium-titanium nitrides (AlTiN 2 ).

  • AlTiN 2 aluminium-titanium nitrides
  • the present invention is also intended to provide a valve that is provided with a nitrided layer obtained by means of a nitriding process by laser remelting in a nitrogen-rich atmosphere.
  • the present invention is intended to provide a valve that has excellent wear resistance, with high hardness and durability, delivering properties that are superior to valves made from a titanium alloy.

  • TiN titanium nitrides
  • AlTiN 2 aluminium-titanium nitrides
  • high-speed engines result in high levels of inertia in the movement of the valves, causing excessive wear of the components. For this reason, high-speed engines usually use valves made of a titanium-based material in order to reduce the weight of these components.
  • titanium alone provides relatively limited wear resistance.
  • valves used in internal-combustion engines are high-precision components installed in the cylinder head of the engine, that are used for different tasks and are subjected to high thermal and mechanical stresses.
  • a valve 1 comprises a disk-shaped head 2 having a seat region 3 and a neck region 4 that acts as a transition portion to a stem 5, the tip 6 of the valve 1 being positioned at the end of the stem opposite the head. Furthermore, there are one or more recesses that form the channels 7 in the valve 1 in the region of the stem 5 next to the tip 6 of the valve 1. Each region of the valve 1 is subjected to different working loads and is therefore stressed in a distinct way.
