〔作 用〕[For production]

次に本発明のロッカーバルブ材料の成分限定理由を述べ
る。
Next, the reason for limiting the ingredients of the rocker valve material of the present invention will be described.

CはCr、 M0. W、  Vと結合して炭化物を形
成せしめ、基地の硬さも高くして耐摩耗性を向上させる
。少なすぎると炭化物の生成が少なく、基地の硬さも高
くならず耐摩耗性が不足し、多すぎると逆に基地の硬さ
が低くなって耐摩耗性が低下する。
C is Cr, M0. It combines with W and V to form carbides, increasing the hardness of the matrix and improving wear resistance. If it is too small, the formation of carbides will be small, and the hardness of the base will not be high, resulting in insufficient wear resistance.If it is too large, the hardness of the base will be low, resulting in a decrease in wear resistance.

したがってCは2.4〜3.2%に規定する。Therefore, C is defined to be 2.4 to 3.2%.

Siは脱酸剤として添加するが、基地に固溶して硬さを
高め耐摩耗性に寄与するが1.0%を超えると基地の靭
性が低下するので、添加量は1.0%以下とする。
Si is added as a deoxidizing agent, and it dissolves in the matrix to increase hardness and contribute to wear resistance, but if it exceeds 1.0%, the toughness of the matrix decreases, so the amount added is 1.0% or less. shall be.

MnはSiと同様に主に脱酸剤として添加するが、1、
0%を超えるとオーステナイトが安定化して硬さが低下
し耐摩耗性に悪い影響を与えるので1.0%以下とする
Like Si, Mn is mainly added as a deoxidizing agent, but 1,
If it exceeds 0%, austenite becomes stabilized, hardness decreases, and wear resistance is adversely affected, so the content should be 1.0% or less.

Cr combines with C to form carbide and improves wear resistance.
The crystal grains are made finer, but if it is less than 23%, the amount of carbide is too small for this purpose, and if it exceeds 35%, the hardness of the base will be low and the wear resistance will be insufficient, so it is specified at 23 to 35%.

MoおよびWはCと結合してM、C型の炭化物を形成し
耐摩耗性を高めるがMo+1/2Wが0.2%未満では

Mo and W combine with C to form M- and C-type carbides and improve wear resistance, but if Mo+1/2W is less than 0.2%, the amount of carbide is small, and if it exceeds 2.0%, it will harden to the base. Since there is insufficient Cil to dissolve, the hardness of the base becomes low and the wear resistance decreases, so the content is set at 0.2 to 2.0%. -■ combines with C to form MC type carbide and is effective in improving wear resistance, but if it is less than 0.2%, the effect is small, and if it exceeds 2.0%, the amount of C in the base is insufficient. Since it has an adverse effect on wear resistance, it is set at 0.2 to 2.0%.

さらにMoおよびWとVは一緒に添加するとその効果が
大きいが、それぞれ1.0%添加した時効果が顕著であ

2%が望ましい。
Furthermore, Mo, W, and V have a great effect when added together, but the effect is remarkable when each is added at 1.0%, so the amounts of Mo+1/2W and (2) should be 0.9 to 1.0%.
2% is desirable.

According to FIG. 1, Sample 1 of the present invention material to which 1.0% of Mo and 1.0% each were added has the best wear resistance. In addition, it is clear that sample 6.7, a comparative material in which Mo or ■ exceeds 2.0%, has inferior wear resistance than the present invention material. This is because Mo or V forms a carbide with C in the base, which absorbs the C in the base and lowers the hardness of the base.
