INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE VALVE SEAT Filed Dec. I l, 1966 Sheet 0f 2 J 0H N R57Z-E4/V EMME 7' 7' J HORTON F G. 2 IN VENTORS ATTORNEYS Feb. 18, 1969 p,. TEFAN ET AL 3,428,035
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE VALVE SEAT Filed Dec. 1. 1966 Sheet 2 of 2 J O H N R 5 7 E l-74N EMME T T J HORTON INVENTORS ATTORNEYS United States Patent Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and means for integrally forming a valve seat in an engine component by casting an alloy valve seat insert into the engine component prior to the machining of the valve seat area. The alloy valve seat is retained through controlled diffusion of its perimeter into the cast material.
Background of the invention Valve seat distortion, wear, corrosion, and burning are basic problems that shorten the valve life in an engine, thereby reducing the reliability of the valve train. High operating temperatures, a corrosive atmosphere, and high stress applications are responsible for these basic problems. To improve the reliability and durability of the valve train, the present invention proposes that the valve seats comprise alloy inserts which are cast into the cylinder block or valve head prior to machining of the cast engine component.
It is known in the prior art to use pressed-in alloy inserts which are held in place by a nickel brazing alloy, such as is taught by US. Patent No. 3,170,452. The disadvantage of this is that the brazing alloy produces a heat transfer dam between the insert and the cast body. This may result in seat distortion and insert fall-out if the fit between the insert and the recess receiving the insert is excessive. The usual method is to press the inserts into carefully machined holes, the inserts sometimes being pre-shrunk by being cooled in Dry Ice before insertion. Here again a poor fit between the insert and the receiving recess can result in short life or excessive fallout characteristics. The present invention avoids such fallout because the insert becomes integrated with the main body of cast material.
Summary of the invention More specifically, the present invention relates to a composite metal casting comprising a cast metal material and a metal alloy insert embedded in said cast metal material during the casting process. The insert has a surface that forms a wear and corrosion resistant portion of an exposed surface of the composite casting when the latter is machined, in the case of an internal combustion engine, to form a valve port. The alloy insert has an integral portion of the insert is provided with a diminishthe casting into the body of the cast metal material. The integral portion of the insert is provided with a diminishing cross sectional area from its exposed surface into the body of the casting to promote fusion of the perimeter portion with said cast material during casting with minimal fusion in the area of the exposed surface.
The method by which a wear resistant valve seat for a valve port of a cast metal internal combustion engine component is formed according to the present invention comprises the steps of forming an annular valve seat insert of a wear, heat and corrosion resistant alloy. The insert has diminishing thickness from the wall of the aperture therein to the perimeter. When the molten metal forming the cast engine component is cast against the insert, this causes the thinner perimeter portion of the latter to reach a soft molten state so that the insert bonds itself by fusion with the casting metal. After proper cooling, the main casting and the insert are machined to provide a predetermined valve port configuration, then the insert is further machined to form the valve seat proper.
The control of the fusion area is important because proper fusion at a proper location produces a good seat or insert retention within the casting body and provides good insert cooling. With good cooling, the alloy metal seat or insert is subjected to lower temperatures, thereby reducing valve seat distortion, increasing eifective seat hardness, reducing wear and extending valve seat life. This avoids the tendency of metals to lose their hardness qualities at elevated temperatures.
Brief description of the drawing Other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will be made more apparent as this description proceeds, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary cross sectional view of a cast engine component with the wear resistant insert cast in place and prior to any machining operations;
FIG. 2 is in part similar to FIG. 1 after the cast engine component and valve seat insert have been machined to receive a valve as shown;
FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a valve seat insert for use in carrying out the present invention; and
FIG. 4 illustrates a second embodiment of a valve seat insert.
Description of the preferred embodiment Referring now in detail to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings, there is shown generally at 11 a fragmentary cross sectional portion of a cast cylinder head having a valve port 12 formed therein. Integrally cast in the cylinder head casting 11 is a valve seat insert 13.
The valve seat insert 13 is in the form of an annulus having a flat base 14 which lies in a plane substantially normal to the longitudinal axis 15 of the valve port. The aperture in the annulus has an outwardly inclined circula-r wall 16. The annulus has a main body portion 17 of diminishing cross section, the opposite surfaces 18 and 19 being inclined relative to the base 14 to give a modified triangular appearance to the body portion when the latter is viewed in cross section. The direction of inclination of the body portion 17 is such, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, that the extremity of peripheral edge 21 is relatively deeply embedded in the cylinder head casting 11.
FIG. 1 illustrates the cross sectional appearance of the cylinder head and valve insert in the rough casting stage. The stippled area of FIG. 1 indicates the metal that has to be removed by machining operations to provide a finished cylinder head and valve seat to receive the tappet valve 22 (see FIG. 2).
FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate two embodiments of the valve seat insert, the FIG. 4 embodiment differing from that of FIG. 3 only in that it is provided with secondary apertures 23 adapted to form a mechanical interlock with the cast metal of the cylinder head.
The triangular or tapered section of the alloy seat insert results in selective fusion between the alloy seat insert and the cast iron of the cylinder head. The triangular or tapered section of the insert brings about the bonding or fusion near the area of the apex of the insert section since the thinness of the section near the perimeter of the insert results in the insert alloy reaching a molten state. In this perimeter area, hard carbides are formed which in no way affect the machinability of the insert at the valve seat area since the thicker section or areas of the insert do not reach the soft molten state.
The triangular or tapered section of the alloy valve seat insert provides another important advantage. The molten metal of the engine component when cast is not always at a definite temperature. If the metal is 100 cooler than an established norm not as much of the tapered section will fuse. If the molten metal temperature is higher than the norm, fusion will take place further toward the center of the insert. The taper and its length is easily designed to obtain fusion within the permissible minimum and maximum temperatures for casting the engine component metal.
Suitable materials for satisfactory valve seat inserts that are satisfactorily wear and corrosion resistant and are readily machinable include the following:
Example I.-Haynes Alloy N0. 25
Percent Nickel 9.00-11.00 Chromium 19.00-21.00 Tungsten 14.00-16.00 Iron (max.) 3.00 Carbon 0.05-0.15 Silicon (max.) 1.00 Manganese 1.00-2.00 Cobalt Balance Example 2.-Mulrimet Alloy Percent Nickel 19.00-2l.00 Cobalt 18.50-21.00 Chromium 20.00-22.50 Molybdenum 2.50-3.50 Tungsten 2.00-3.00 Carbon 0.08-0.16 Nitrogen 0.10-0.20 Columbium and Tantalum 0.75-1.25 Silicon (max.) 1.00 Manganese 1.00-2.00 Iron Balance It will be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the exact construction shown and described, but that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined in the appended claims.
