Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to German Application No. DE 10 2020 202 737.4 filed on Mar. 4, 2020, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The invention relates to a tribological system, a method for producing such a tribological system and an internal combustion engine with such a tribological system.
- For some time now, internal combustion engines have been designed with charge exchange members which comprise valves, wherein such valves can be placed on a valve seat ring for closing a charge exchange channel of a respective charge exchange member of the internal combustion engine. In this case, such a valve and the valve seat ring form a tribological system on which typically high requirements are imposed with regard to a wear resistance of the components of the tribological system which can be brought in contact with one another—i.e. the valve and the valve seat ring—as well as a temperature resistance and a chemical resistance of said components. In order to better meet this high requirements, for some time valves have been used which are plated or coated with a plating in the area of a seat area of the respective valve. Frequently high-nickel-content or nickel -based valve materials are used. In these high-nickel-content or nickel-based valve materials, this plating typically has a high cobalt content.
- In this case, the high price for cobalt-containing plating materials has a disadvantageous effect on the manufacturing costs of a valve of a tribological system and therefore also on the manufacturing costs of the tribological system per se. In addition, such a usual high-nickel-content valve or valve manufactured from a nickel-based material plated with a high-cobalt-content plating material is difficult to rework mechanically so as to achieve high production tolerances which makes it difficult to produce these valves on a mass scale.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention, in particular to eliminate the aforesaid disadvantages, to indicate new ways for a tribological system, for a method for producing such a tribological system and for internal combustion engines with such a tribological system.
- The basic idea of the invention is accordingly to use a nickel-based plating material for plating a valve of a tribological system. The main component of the plating material is therefore nickel.
- This advantageously has a cost-reducing effect on the manufacturing costs of the valve and therefore also on the tribological system with the valve overall. In addition, the high-nickel-content valve or valve produced from a nickel-based material plated using a nickel-based plating can advantageously be reworked mechanically. Also, the wear behaviour of the tribological system can thus be improved.
- A tribological system according to the invention which can preferably be used for a charge exchange member of an internal combustion engine comprises a valve seat ring. The valve seat ring has a first contact surface. In addition, the tribological system comprises a valve which has a second contact surface. The second contact surface of the valve can be placed on the first contact surface of the valve seat ring for closing a valve opening. The second contact surface of the valve is arranged in a seat area of the valve. The valve in the seat area has a seat base having a high nickel content or comprising a nickel-based material, which is plated/coated with a nickel-based plating to form the second contact surface. As already indicated hereinbefore, a cost advantage can thus advantageously be achieved compared with conventional tribological systems. In addition, the valve of the tribological system plated with a nickel-based plating can advantageously be reworked mechanically so that in particular high manufacturing tolerances can be adhered to in an improved manner.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the plating contains more than 30 percent by weight, preferably at least 50 percent by weight, most preferably at least 52 percent by weight of nickel. With such a high nickel content, particularly high cost advantages are associated with the manufacture of the plating.
- Expediently the nickel-based plating of the valve as additional component, i.e. in addition to the nickel fraction which forms the main component of the plating, comprises up to 3 percent by weight of carbon. Advantageously this improves the sliding properties of the second contact surface present on the valve.
- According to an advantageous further development of the tribological system, the nickel-based plating comprises up to 10 percent by weight of iron as an additional component. Thus, a particularly high strength of the plating can advantageously be achieved.
- According to a further advantageous further development of the tribological system, the nickel-based plating comprises up to 30 percent by weight of chromium as an additional component. This has an advantageous effect on a corrosion resistance of the plating.
- In a further preferred further development of the tribological system, the nickel-based plating comprises up to 9 percent by weight of molybdenum as an additional component. The wear resistance of the plating or the tribological system can thus be advantageously improved.
- Particularly preferably the plating consists of the main component nickel and of at least one of the additional components explained hereinbefore as preferred, i.e. carbon, iron, chromium and molybdenum.
- The tribological system according to the invention presented here also expressly includes variants which have impurities due to the manufacturing process having a weight fraction of up to 0.2 percent, wherein the impurities are formed by substances which differ from the main component nickel and from the additional components explained hereinbefore.
- According to a further advantageous further development of the tribological system, the seat base of the valve having a high nickel content or comprising a nickel-based material comprises a material having the material number 2.4952 or consists of such a material. This enables a particularly heat-resistant configuration of the valve of the tribological system.
