- spaces 216 and 217 are secured in which the flesh of the bulging portion 15 that is pushed and moves can escape.
- the flesh of the bulging portion 15 thus moved moves upward on the punch 220 side while flowing into the outer diameter side and inner diameter side spaces 216 and 217 across the apex 15a.
- the pressing surface 215a of the die 210 is inclined in a direction away from the central axis X1 as it goes upward on the punch 220 side, the bulging portion 15 that moves while being plastically deformed by being pressed by the pressing surface 215a. Moves more toward the outer diameter side than the inner diameter side (center axis X1) side of the apex 15a.
- the position of the vertex 15a of the bulging portion 15 is set based on the relationship represented by the following formula (1), and the position of the vertex 15a viewed from the axial direction of the central axis X1 is:

- the region where the meat of the bulging portion 15 that is moved by being pushed by the pressing surface 215a during forging finally becomes the face surface N is on the inner diameter side. It moves across from the (center axis X1 side) to the outer diameter side. As a result, in the region that finally becomes the face surface N, a region S1 having a high density of plastically deformed meat is formed over a wide range in the radial direction of the central axis X1 (see hatching in FIG. 3A).
- the meat of the bulging portion 15 is further increased. Moves while being plastically deformed toward the outer diameter side and the inner diameter side while being pushed into the bulging portion 15. Then, since the meat that has moved while being plastically deformed becomes deeper at the depth and the outer diameter side of the bulging portion 15, the region S2 that is work-hardened to the depth of the bulging portion 15 and is further work-hardened to the outer diameter side. (See hatching in FIG. 3B).

- the meat of the bulging portion 15 having a substantially uniform thickness W at the time of FIG. 3B is pushed into the face surface N side, and finally the face surface N of the poppet valve 10 obtained. Therefore, a region with increased rigidity and strength is formed on the inner side of the face surface at a predetermined depth due to plastic deformation of the pressed bulged portion 15.
- the punch 540 is an opening surrounding the die hole 522 of the die 520. If it is the structure fitted by the wall 524, the movement to the outer-diameter side of the flesh of the bulging part 15 which moves while plastically deforming at the time of forging will be prevented.
- the crossing angle with the central axis X1 of the opening wall 214 shown in FIG. 1 is smaller than the crossing angle with the central axis X1 of the pressing wall 215, and at the time of forging,
- the lower surface 221 and the upper surface 211 of the die 210 are configured to contact each other (see FIG. 3C). For this reason, with the poppet valve intermediate product 10 ′ held on the pressing surface 215 a of the die hole 212 of the die 210, the opening wall 214 and the margin part 141 ′ of the intermediate umbrella part 14 ′ are arranged on the outer diameter side of the space 217. An escape portion 219 formed between the two is formed.

This ensures that the forged face surface N is work hardened to the outer diameter side.
- the apex 15a of the bulging portion 15 of the poppet valve intermediate product 10 'before forging is located closer to the base point P1 on the inner diameter side than the base point P2 on the outer diameter side, it is pushed and moved during forging.

Abstract
Description
ポペットバルブは、内燃機関の吸気および排気のタイミングと同期して、シリンダーヘッド内で直線往復運動を行うようになっており、この際に、ポペットバルブのフェース面が、吸気および排気ポートの開口部に設けられた金属製のバルブシートに対して衝突を繰り返すため、ポペットバルブのフェース面には、剛性強度が要求される。
なお、図6の(a)では、最終的に得られるポペットバルブ500のフェース面の形状(外形)を破線で示すと共に、鍛造前のポペットバルブ中間品500’に重ねて表示している。
軸部501は、当該軸部501の中心軸X1に沿って直線状に延びる棒状の部材であり、この軸部501の一端に形成された傘部502は、円柱状のマージン部503と、マージン部503から離れるにつれて中心軸X1の径方向の外径が小さくなるフェース部504と、を有している。
このフェース部504には、中心軸X1に対して所定角度θで傾斜するフェース面Nが設けられており、断面視においてこのフェース面Nは、マージン部503との境界点503aから、中心軸X1側に向けて平面状に形成されている。
この状態において、ダイ520に対向配置されたパンチ540を、中心軸X1に沿ってダイ520側に移動させることで、ポペットバルブ中間品500’の中間傘部502’の形状が、最終的に得られるポペットバルブ500の傘部502の形状に整えられるようになっている。
そのため、断面視において膨出部505’は、頂点506’と、基点P1、P2とを結ぶ斜面508’、509’の長さがそれぞれ同じである二等辺三角形の形状を成している。
また、この二等辺三角形は内径側の基点P1から基準点P3までの中心軸X1の径方向の長さL1と、基準点P3から外径側の基点P2までの中心軸X1の径方向の長さL2との関係が下記式となるように、基準点P3の位置が設定されている。
L1/L2=1
そのため、ポペットバルブ中間品500’の鍛造を行うと、ダイ520の押圧面520aにより押された膨出部505’の肉の多くは、基準点P3よりも径方向外側の方に移動することになる。
前記ポペットバルブの中間品は、軸部の長手方向の一端に前記傘部となる大径部を備えており、前記大径部では、鍛造後に前記フェース面となる領域に、鍛造後の傘部の前記フェース面を基準として、前記フェース面の法線方向に頂点を位置させた膨出部が設けられており、
断面視において前記膨出部の頂点は、前記フェース面の内径側の基点と外径側の基点とを結ぶ仮想線上に設定した基準点を通る法線上に位置していると共に、
前記軸部の中心線の軸方向から見て、前記内径側の基点から基準点までの長さL1と、前記外径側の基点から基準点までの長さL2との関係が下記式(1)となるように、前記基準点の位置が設定されており、
L1/L2≦0.5・・・(1)
前記中心線方向で対向配置した押圧型と支持型との間で、前記膨出部を、前記支持型の前記フェース面に対応する形状の押圧面に当接させた状態で、前記バルブ中間品を前記支持型に支持させたのち、前記押圧型を、前記中心線方向で前記支持型に近づける方向に移動させて、押圧型と支持型の間に把持された前記膨出部の領域を、前記中心線方向に塑性的に変形させて、前記フェース面を形成する構成のポペットバルブの製造方法とした。
よって、鍛造により作製したポペットバルブにおいて、フェース面の剛性強度を、より均一にすることができる。
始めに、鍛造により作製されるポペットバルブ10と、鍛造前のポペットバルブ中間品10’を説明する。
図2の(a)は、図1の(a)における領域Aの拡大図であり、(b)は、膨出部15における領域Aの形状の変形例を示す図である。
なお、図1の(a)、図2では、鍛造前のポペットバルブ中間品10’において、最終的に得られるポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nの位置を破線で示している。
軸部12は、当該軸部12の中心軸X1に沿って直線状に延びる棒状の部材であり、この軸部12の一端に形成された傘部14は、円柱形状のマージン部141と、マージン部141から離れるにつれて中心軸X1の径方向の外径が小さくなるフェース部142と、を有している。
実施の形態では、このフェース面Nの傾斜角度θは、45°≦θ≦60°の範囲に設定されている。
ここで、膨出部15では、外径側の基点P2と頂点15aとを結ぶ斜面14’bと、内径側の基点P1と膨出部15の頂点15aを結ぶ斜面14’cとが、それぞれ直線状に形成されており、断面視において膨出部15は、不等辺三角形形状を成している。また、この膨出部15の頂点15aには、曲面加工が施されており、断面視において頂点15aは、尖り形状ではなくR形状を成している。
L1/L2≦0.5・・・(1)
L2>L1=(L4-L3)×1/2~(L4-L3)×3/4>Z×COSθ・・・(2)
Z<((L4-L3)×COSθ)/2・・・(3)
ポペットバルブ中間品10’を鍛造する際には、パンチ220を、中心軸X1の軸方向に沿ってダイ210側に移動させることで、パンチ220は、パンチ220とダイ210との間に把持されたポペットバルブ中間品10’をダイ210側に押圧し、ポペットバルブ中間品10’を塑性変形させながらポペットバルブ10の形状に整えるようになっている。
型孔212は、パンチ220から離れるにつれて内径が小さくなる形状で形成されており、型孔212を囲む内壁213は、上面211側の開口壁214と、この開口壁214のパンチ220とは反対側に連続する押圧壁215と、を有している。
なお、ポペットバルブ中間品10’は、鍛造前の段階では、膨出部15を押圧面215aに当接させた状態で、ダイ210で支持されるようになっている。
空間216は、押圧面215aと膨出部15の斜面14’bとの間に、空間217は、押圧面215aと膨出部15の斜面14’cとの間に、それぞれ形成されており、鍛造時に押圧面215aに押されて塑性変形しながら移動する膨出部15の肉が逃げることができる空間になっている。
孔218の内径は、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の軸部12’の外径と整合する径で形成されており、ポペットバルブ中間品10’をダイ210で保持させる際に、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の軸部12’が挿通されて、ポペットバルブ中間品10’が中心軸X1の軸方向に沿う所定位置で保持されるようになっている。
図3は、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の鍛造過程を説明する図であり、(a)は、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の鍛造初期を説明する要部断面図であり、(b)は、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の鍛造途中を説明する要部断面図であり、(c)は、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の鍛造後を説明する要部断面図である。
この応力f1は、膨出部15の頂点15aを通ると共に中心軸X1に平行な直線X3に沿って、パンチ220側の上方に作用する(図中符号の応力f1参照)。
そのため、ポペットバルブ中間品10’を鍛造する際に、ダイ210の押圧面215aが、頂点15aが尖り形状を成している場合よりも、膨出部15の曲面加工が施された部分(R形状の部分)の広い範囲にわたって接触するようになっている。
これにより、押圧面215aから膨出部15に作用する応力f1は、頂点15aが尖り形状を成している場合よりも、より広い範囲にわたって均等に作用するので、頂点15aの位置に多少のバラツキがあっても、膨出部15の肉の移動方向が同じ方向になるようにコントロールできる。
また、膨出部15の頂点15aに、曲面加工を施すことによって、頂点15aへの過大応力集中が防止できるため、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の大きさが大きく鍛造時の荷重が大きくなる場合でも製造欠陥の発生を軽減することができる。
そのため、頂点15aの位置のバラツキに応じて、膨出部15の肉の移動方向が変化するので、肉の移動方向は、頂点15aがR形状を成している場合よりも不安定になる(肉の移動方向をコントロールし難くなる)。
ここで、頂点15aを挟んで、外径側と内径側には、押されて移動する膨出部15の肉が逃げることのできる空間216、217が確保されているので、押圧面215aにより押された膨出部15の肉は、頂点15aを挟んで外径側と内径側の空間216、217に流入しつつ、パンチ220側の上方に移動する。
ここで、ダイ210の押圧面215aは、パンチ220側の上方に向かうにつれて、中心軸X1から離れる方向に傾斜しているので、押圧面215aにより押されて塑性変形しながら移動する膨出部15の肉は、頂点15aの内径側(中心軸X1)側よりも外径側の方に多く移動する。
L1/L2≦0.5・・・(1)
L1は、内径側の基点P1から基準点P3までの中心軸X1の径方向の長さであり、L2は、基準点P3から外径側の基点P2までの中心軸X1の径方向の長さL2である。
そして、押圧力が頂点15aから作用する膨出部15の肉は、内径側よりも外径側に移動し易くなっている。
すると、膨出部15の奥深くと外径側において、塑性変形しながら移動した肉がより密になるので、膨出部15の奥深くまで加工硬化するとともに、より外径側まで加工硬化した領域S2が形成される(図3の(b)のハッチング参照)。
この図3の(b)に示す時点では、ダイ210の押圧面215aに接触している膨出部15の肉は、最終的に形成されるフェース面Nを基準として、略均等の厚みWを有している。
この際、図3の(b)の時点で略均等の厚みWとなっていた膨出部15の肉が、フェース面N側に押し込まれて、最終的に得られるポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nとなるので、フェース面の内側には、押し込まれた膨出部15の肉の塑性変形による、剛性強度の高められた領域が所定深さで形成されることになる。
仮に、図1~図3に示すパンチ220とダイ210との関係が、図6の(b)に示した従来の鍛造金型のように、パンチ540が、ダイ520の型孔522を囲む開口壁524までに内嵌する構成となっていると、鍛造時に塑性変形しながら移動する膨出部15の肉の外径側への移動が阻止されることになる。
そうすると、鍛造途中で肉の移動が阻止されて、最終的に形成されるフェース面Nの外径側まで移動した肉が広がらないので、鍛造後のフェース面Nが、外径側まで均一に加工硬化されなくなってしまう。
このため、ポペットバルブ中間品10’をダイ210の型孔212の押圧面215aに保持した状態で、空間217のさらに外径側に、開口壁214と中間傘部14’のマージン部141’とに挟まれて形成される逃げ部219が形成される。
よって、鍛造によりポペットバルブ10を制作する際に、最終的に得られたポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nの内径側から外径側までの略全体にわたる領域S3が塑性変形により加工硬化するので、剛性強度をより均一にすることができる(図3の(c)のハッチング参照)。
図4は、ポペットバルブ10の製造方法を示すフローチャートである。
具体的には、鍛造等により、析出硬化型Ni基合金を基材とした軸部12’の長手方向の一端側に中間傘部14’を形成する(中間品成形工程)。
例えば、ポペットバルブ中間品10’が析出硬化型Ni基合金の場合には、1000℃~1100℃範囲の一定温度で加熱したのち、急冷を行う。
上記のように、ポペットバルブ中間品10’を加熱保持すると、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の材料成分が均一に溶かし込まれるので、この状態で、ポペットバルブ中間品10’を急冷することで、金属組織を均一な状態(固溶化)にすることができる。
例えば、ポペットバルブ中間品10’が析出硬化型Ni基合金の場合には、400~700℃範囲の一定温度で、120~300分間の加熱を行う。
再結晶温度未満の温度は、例えば、ポペットバルブ中間品10’が析出硬化型Ni基合金の場合には、20~500℃の温度範囲である。
鍛造後のポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nを切削加工で仕上げることによって、フェース面Nの加工精度や表面粗さをより向上させることが出来る。また、フェース面Nの下には、所定の深さまで均一に加工硬化した層が形成されており、フェース面Nを切削することで、この均一に加工硬化した層を表面に出現させることができる。
図5の(a)は、フェース面Nの剛性強度の測定箇所を説明する図であり、(b)は、フェース面Nの内径側の位置N1における剛性強度の測定結果であり、(c)は、フェース面Nの内径側と外径側の中間の位置N2における剛性強度の測定結果であり、(d)は、フェース面Nの外径側の位置N3における剛性強度の測定結果である。
図5の(a)では、ポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nを実線で示し、最終の製品形状のフェース面NAを破線で示している。
図5の(b)から(d)では、剛性強度の比較のため、本発明の製造方法により製造したポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nの剛性強度と、本願出願人の特許発明(特許第2925945号)の製造方法により製造したポペットバルブ(以下、「従来のポペットバルブ」という)のフェース面の剛性強度とを同じ条件で測定した結果を示す。同図では、本発明の製造方法で製造したポペットバルブ10の測定結果を黒塗りの丸記号で記載し、従来品のポペットバルブの測定結果を黒塗の三角記号で記載している。
なお、フェース面の剛性強度の測定は、ビッカース剛性強度計を用い、JISZ2244で規定されたビッカース硬さ試験方法に準じて行ったものである。
なお、従来のポペットバルブのフェース面の剛性強度も同じ位置で測定を行った。
図1の(b)に示すように、軸部12の長手方向の一端に設けられた傘部14に、軸部12の一端側に向かうにつれて外径が広がる向きのフェース面Nを有するポペットバルブ10を、図1の(a)に示すような析出硬化型Ni基合金からなるポペットバルブ中間品10’の鍛造により製造する方法であって、
ポペットバルブ中間品10’は、軸部12’の長手方向の一端に、鍛造後に傘部14となる中間傘部14’(大径部)を備えており、

L1/L2≦0.5・・・(1)
中心軸X1方向で対向配置したパンチ220(押圧型)とダイ210(支持型)との間で、膨出部15を、ダイ210のフェース面Nに対応する形状の押圧面215aに当接させた状態で、ポペットバルブ中間品10’をダイ210に支持させたのち、パンチ220を、中心軸X1方向でダイ210に近づける方向に移動させて、パンチ220とダイ210の間に把持された膨出部15の領域を、中心軸X1方向に塑性的に変形させて、フェース面Nを形成するポペットバルブの製造方法とした。
このような場合、圧痕等が発生したバルブのフェース面を研磨により補修して、ポペットバルブを再利用することが行われる。
ここで、ポペットバルブのフェース面が、所定の深さまで均一に硬化されていない場合、フェース面の補修(研磨)によって形成された新たなフェース面に、硬度の低い部分が出現してしまう。このように硬度の低い部分を有するポペットバルブは、内燃機関での使用に適さないので、フェース面を補修した後のポペットバルブを再利用できなくなってしまう。
上記のように構成すると、ダイ210の押圧面215aにより押されて移動する膨出部15の肉が、最終的にフェース面Nとなる領域を、内径側から外径側に向けて移動するので、最終的に得られるポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nでは、塑性変形しながら移動した膨出部15の肉の量が略均一の分布となるとともに、移動した肉が密になることで、フェース面の内径側から外径側に亘る範囲において、所定の深さまで均一に加工硬化させることができる。
これにより、摩耗したフェース面を研磨してポペットバルブの再利用する場合、研磨により削られたフェース面の深さが所定深さに達するまで、研磨後のフェース面の硬度に低い部分が生じないので、ポペットバルブの複数回の再利用が可能となる。
L2>L1=(L4-L3)×1/2~(L4-L3)×3/4>Z×COSθ・・・(2)
これにより、ダイ210の押圧面215aにより押されて移動する膨出部15の肉が、最終的にフェース面Nとなる領域を、内径側から外径側のより広い範囲にわたって移動する。よって、最終的に得られるポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nにおいて、より広い範囲を加工硬化させることができる。
よって、フェース面Nの剛性強度を、より広い範囲にわたって高めることができる。
Z<((L4-L3)×COSθ)/2・・・(3)
これは、鍛造時に膨出部15に作用する応力は、膨出部15の押圧の開始時点(塑性変形の開始時点)が最も高くなるので、膨出部15の頂点15aを剛性の高い軸部12’側に位置させて塑性変形の開始時点の高い押圧力で膨出部15を押圧することで、軸部12’側のフェース面Nも十分に塑性変形させ、加工硬化させることが可能となるからである。
これにより、作製されたポペットバルブ10のフェース面Nの剛性強度がより均一になるので、フェース面Nの耐摩耗性の向上によるバルブの長寿命化が期待される。
上記のように、ポペットバルブ中間品10’を加熱保持して材料成分を均一に溶かし込んだのち、ポペットバルブ中間品10’を急冷すると、金属組織を均一な状態(固溶化)にすることができる(溶体化処理工程)。
そして、溶体化処理工程を経たポペットバルブ中間品10’を溶体化処理工程時の過熱温度よりも低い、一定温度で所定時間加熱を行うことにより、ポペットバルブ中間品10’の金属結晶を微細にし、結晶粒界に硬質な析出物を得られる為、更に材料硬さを高くすることができる(時効硬化)。
このようにすると、ダイ210の押圧面215aと、膨出部15の弧状の斜面14’’bとは面接触となり、押圧面215aと斜面14’’bとがより広い範囲にわたって接触することができる。
よって、押圧面215aから、膨出部15の弧状の斜面14’’bに作用する応力は、より広い範囲にわたって均等に作用するので、押圧面215aは、膨出部15の肉を所定の押圧方向に安定した状態で押圧することが期待できる。
