Abstract

The falling-off cause of exhaust valve seats in a strengthened diesel engine is analyzed in terms of material selection and design. Three materials, cobalt, nickel and powder based alloy, are tested on their strengths, thermal expansion properties, friction properties and volume stabilities. The assembly interference is considered through FEM simulation, and the engine test is carried out to validate the reliability of the new material valve seat. The results show that nickel-based alloy has the lowest friction property. The volume stability of powder-based alloy is lower than that of cobalt-based alloy. Cobalt-based alloy has the highest temperature compressive and friction properties, and presents a good ability to defend the abnormal operations. Moreover, with the increase in the material strength, the assembly interference could be enhanced to 0.081~0.113 mm, with a safe coefficient of 1.4 for both cylinder head and valve seats.
