Abstract: A bonding structure of a valve seat has a port opening of a metallic head and an annular metallic valve seat insert. The valve seat insert includes an outer reduced diameter surface on its outer circumference. The material of the valve seat insert is harder than that of the head. The head plastically deforms upon pressing the valve seat insert toward the head. The deformed metal occupies any gap around the outer reduced diameter surface.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to restrict a part of intake flow which is apt to flow in a direction opposite to a counter swirl flow after colliding against a valve stem, and to produce an intense swirl while controlling a worsening of flow coefficient. A valve seat supporting annular stepped surface(14) is formed on an intake port outlet portion of a cylinder head (1), its inner peripheral edge is formed into a shape having an inner peripheral edge (4a) of a valve stem (4)for serving as a base circle, and a extending portion (15) projecting toward a side of a valve stem (11) is provided on a radial intake port inlet side portion. The extending portion (15) is formed into a mountain-like shape which widens from a top portion projecting toward the valve stem side to both peripheral sides and connects to the base circle at its foot ends; or into an arc-like shape; or into a trapezoidal shape.

Abstract: An arrangement for exercising (or burnishing) the intake and exhaust valves in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine employs a plurality of out-of-phase eccentric cams coupled to a source of rotatory motion. The eccentric cams engage with respective linear drive arrangements that are urged into out-of-phase reciprocation with respect to each other. The linear drives urge the valves into repeated open and closed states where, in combination with valve rotators, burnishing of the sealing portion of the valves with the valves seats to improve the seal therebetween is effected. The use of eccentric cams to effect linear reciprocating motion achieves control over both directions of movement of the linear drive arrangements. The cylinder head is maintained in fixed relation to the linear drive arrangements by a hydraulic, pneumatic, or other form of ram, the ram also creating a test chamber.

Abstract: An exhaust valve for an internal combustion engine comprises a movable spindle with a valve disc which on its upper surface has an annular seat are of a material different from the base material of the valve disc. In the closed position of the valve the seat area abuts a corresponding seat area on a stationary valve member. The seat area on the upper surface of the valve disc is made of a material which has a yield strength (Rp0.2) of at least 1000 Mpa at a temperature of approximately 20° C.

Abstract: The external surface configuration of a portion of a mounted member that is joined to a mounting member includes, at a distal end position which first comes into contact with the mounting member when the mounted member is pressed against the mounting member, a curved surface bulged toward the mounting member. Other curved surfaces are bulged toward the mounting member with radii of curvatures larger than that of the curved surface and linking up with the curved surface.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a solenoid-operated valve that functions as an intake or exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine includes a lower spring biasing a valve body of the valve in a valve closing direction and upper and lower coils disposed above and below an armature for generating electromagnetic forces to move the valve body in the valve closing and valve opening directions. After a request for closing of the valve body is made, command currents are supplied to the upper and lower coils in suitable timing to increase the speed at which the valve body is seated against a valve seat. As the valve body rotates about its axis due to the action of the lower spring in the course of moving toward the valve seat, it is possible to crush and remove carbon between the valve body and the valve seat without causing local wear of the valve body.

Abstract: A valve seat insert 10 for use in combination with a cylinder head 12. Insert 10 is disposed within a cavity 24 formed within cylinder head 12 and includes several notches 40 which cooperate with surface 26 within cavity 24 to form a plurality of passages or channels 50 which allow fuel 18 to freely pass between surface 26 and insert 10. Channels 50 are effective to substantially prevent fuel 18 from becoming trapped between insert 10 and cylinder head 12, thereby preventing the formation of corrosive acids and byproducts.

Abstract: A valve seat insert includes a ring bounded by surfaces including an inner wall circumferentially disposed about an imaginary central axis passing through the insert. The inner wall includes a plurality of grooves oriented diagonally with respect to the central axis. This and other disclosed valve seat designs impart a vortex to an air-fuel mixture as it enters the combustion chamber, improving combustion efficiency.

Abstract: A combustion chamber component for an internal combustion engine has a water and oil repellent coating which has good adhesive power and in which the effect of suppressing the accumulation of deposits is well maintained. The coating is formed from an organosilicon compound represented by the formula Rf—R1—Si(NH)3/2 wherein Rf denotes a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and R1 denotes a divalent hydrocarbon group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms.

Abstract: An exhaust valve for an internal combustion engine including a movable spindle with a valve disc of a nickel-based alloy which also constitutes an annular seat area at the upper surface of the valve disc. The seat area abuts a corresponding seat area on a stationary valve member in the closed position of the valve. At manufacturing, the seat area of the valve disc is subjected to a thermo-mechanical deformation process at a temperature lower than or around the recrystallization temperature of the alloy. The seat area on the upper surface of the valve disc has been given dent mark preventing properties in the form of a yield strength of at least 1000 MPa at a temperature of approximately 20° C. by means of the thermo-mechanical deformation process and possibly a yield strength increasing heat treatment.

Abstract: A cylinder head for a combustion engine of diesel type has an inlet duct (10) of so-called tangential type whose mouth leading into the combustion chamber (3) is controlled by a conventional mushroom valve (14). The valve cooperates with a valve seat (11) formed in a valve seat ring (12) which is arranged in a milled recess (13) which surrounds the mouth of the inlet duct (10). At a shoulder surface (19) formed by the milled recess (13) the valve seat ring (12) connects to the inlet duct (10) at a larger diameter than that exhibited by the inlet duct at the shoulder surface. The valve seat ring (12) further has, on its side facing radially inwards, an arcuate shape (20) on at least part of the valve seat ring (12) which defines the latter's throughflow area. This makes it possible for the inlet air leaving the inlet duct not to be subject to substantial disturbances of flow even if there is a certain lack of concentricity at the connection between the inlet duct (10) and the valve seat ring (12).

Abstract: A wear resistant alloy is provided having a composition by weight of 1.0-2.5 C, 1.5-4.5 Si, 8.0-20.0 Cr, 9.0-20.0 W and/or Mo, 0.5-2.0 Nb, 20.0-40.0 Fe, and the balance being Ni (>25.0). This alloy provides excellent wear resistance and good hot hardness with relatively low cost compared to prior art nickel base alloys. The alloy has particular use as a valve seat insert materials in diesel fuel internal combustion engines.
