Abstract

PURPOSE:To mass-produce valves at a low cost by carburizing the surface of a Ti-6Al-4V material formed monolithically into the body of each valve. CONSTITUTION:A Ti-6Al-4V material consisting of 5.5-6.7% Al, 3.5-4.5% V and the balance Ti is monolithically formed into the body 1 of each valve. The body 1 is treated with a carburizing gas consisting of 0.1% CO2, 23.7% CO, 32.9% H2 and the balance CH4 with H2O and N2 to harden the surface of the body 1 including the shaft end 3, the shaft part 2 and the valve face 4. It is made unnecessary to braze a stellite tip to the shaft end 3, valves can be mass-produced at a low cost.

(Prior Art) A typical engine valve is made of heat-resistant steel, and the specific gravity of the material is Z8-8. Titanium alloy engine valves have a material specific gravity of 4.5, which is 60% heavier than heat-resistant steel, and are commonly used in racing engines, etc., because they allow for higher engine speeds. However, due to the high cost, there are no examples of its use in commercial vehicles.The biggest factor in the cost increase of conventional titanium alloy engine valves is the stellite tip at the shaft end and its brazing.
