VALVE SEAT INSERT EXCELLENT IN WEAR RESISTANCE MADE OF IRON-BASE SINTERED ALLOY FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES, AND ASSEMBLY OF VALVE SEAT INSERT AND VALVE
A valve seat insert made of an iron-base sintered alloy is configured to have a structure in which the base matrix phase is a fine carbide precipitation phase in which a fine carbide being 10 μm or less in size is precipitated and which has a hardness of 550 HV or more in Vickers hardness; and in th...

Zusammenfassung: | A valve seat insert made of an iron-base sintered alloy is configured to have a structure in which the base matrix phase is a fine carbide precipitation phase in which a fine carbide being 10 μm or less in size is precipitated and which has a hardness of 550 HV or more in Vickers hardness; and in the base matrix phase, hard-particles having a hardness of 650-1200 HV in Vickers hardness are dispersed in an area percentage of 20-40%, a diffusional phase is formed in an area percentage of more than 0% and not more than 5%, and solid-lubricant particles are dispersed in an area percentage of 0-5%. Even if a valve having a high face hardness of 400 HV or more, or 600 HV or more is used, a facing valve seat insert wears only slightly, improving valve train durability. |
