Abstract: A method of improving corrosion resistance of a cylinder cover including a port that is an intake port or an exhaust port. The cylinder cover is configured such that an annular cooling water passage is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the port and a valve seat ring when the valve seat ring is inserted in the port. The method includes forming a weld overlay layer on each of sealed regions of the inner peripheral surface of the port by laser metal deposition using a welding material made of a nickel-based alloy, a copper alloy, stainless steel, or a titanium alloy, the sealed regions being positioned at both sides of the cooling water passage, respectively.

Abstract: In a spinning forming method, a plate including a peripheral portion at which a ring-shaped projection is provided is used, the projection projecting in a thickness direction of the plate. Further, while rotating the plate, a transform target portion of the plate is locally heated, and a processing tool is pressed against the transform target portion to transform the plate. According to this configuration, a heat capacity of the peripheral portion of the plate can be increased. With this, when heating the vicinity of the peripheral portion of the plate, the peripheral portion can be prevented from becoming high in temperature. As a result, deformation of the peripheral portion of the plate can be suppressed.

In the first forming step, a processing tool is brought into contact with a first main surface of the plate to form a first level-changing portion extending from the first main surface toward a second main surface. In the second forming step, the processing tool is brought into contact with the second main surface at an outer peripheral side of the first level-changing portion to form a second level-changing portion extending in an opposite direction to the first level-changing portion.
