Engine valves

Transportation end uses are expected to become a significant outlet. Products under development include an engine valve cover, as are various housings such as those for od pumps, water pumps, starter motors, and certain transmission parts. These end uses employ PPS because it resists high temperatures and is also chemically resistant. Fuel system parts can employ the excellent chemical resistance of PPS, replacing nylon, if alcohol-based fuels are adopted to reduce emissions.

These are the nonbumable components, typically metals and metalloids, found in fuel. Depending upon size, these particles can contribute to fuel system wear and filter and nozzle plugging. Sodium, potassium, lead, and vanadium can cause corrosion of certain high-temperature alloys such as those found on diesel engine valves and gas turbine blades. 

Vanadium in deposit Indicates presence of residual oil vanadium can combine with sodium, potassium or sulfur to form compounds which can cause severe corrosion of engine valves reaction takes place at temperatures >1,100°F (593.3°C)... 

Valve Motions.—The principal features of all engine valve motions are that the valve moves while the piston is standing still (as in reversing) and vice versa. In a single direct-acting pump this is effected by having the main valve operated by an auxiliary steam cylinder with piston to which the valve is attached. 

A typical lifting transient has been found to be in the order of 50 msec. In this time, the disk of a 20 mm nominal bore full-lift valve will move approximately 5 mm, while a particle of air travelling at sonic velocity would move in excess of 15 m. Even at a Mach number of 0.1 these rough figures indicate that a quasisteady assumption is reasonable, as Bicen, Vafidis, and Whitelaw also discovered for internal combustion engine valves. 

Nickel added in small amount to cast iron increases its strength and resistance to corrosion it also enhances the ease of casting and machining. Such alloys are used in Diesel engines, valves, pumps, etc.

The excellent wear properties of silicon nitride materials are the basis for many applications of these materials, such as ceramic or hybrid rolling bearings, cutting tools, wear parts in automotive engines (valves, cam rollers, valve plates for eommon rail systems), and parts for metal shaping. 

This process is used in the highspeed volume production of screws, bolts and other fasteners, engine valves and a multitude of similar headed parts.
