Silicon nitride ceramic has been used in various engineering applications such as bearings, rollers, and exhaust valves for automobiles because of its corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength and low density. LAM (Laser assisted machining) has recently been considered as an alternative and effective process for machining ceramic materials. The laser heat sources in laser assisted milling processes are irregularly varied according to shapes of workpieces. Therefore, prediction and analysis of preheating temperature is difficult. In this study, the thermal analysis and experiment were performed to evaluate the surface temperature distribution of silicon nitride according to laser power. In addition, the preheating temperature was predicted by analyzing the results of the thermal analysis.

Fuel Consumption And Emissions

ABSTRACTOne major goal of automotive engineers actually is to reduce fuel consumption and emissions of present internal combustion engines. First promissing results have been achieved by the substitution of conventional by silicon nitride valves. The weight reduction of about 60 % per valve is corresponding with lower inertia and spring forces, which lead to improved emissions, reduced fuel consumptions as well as high performances of the engines. Applying statistical methods, two advanced silicon nitride materials have been developed, concerning their application as “cool” inlet valves and “hot” exhaust valves, respectively. Using high quality powders and combined optimum processing parameters, 4-point-bending strength of more than 1200 MPa (room temperature) and 870 MPa (1000 °C), resp., have been realized. Weibull moduli of more than 30 have been reproduced. Grinding of valves produced from these materials has economically been demonstrated by drastically reducing the machining times. Some results of road tests as well as of simulated engine tests from cooperations with different automotive companies are presented in detail.

Exhaust Valves

The operating properties of exhaust valves under heavy thermal and mechanical loads are dependent on the strength of steel i.e. resistance to mechanical deformations under increased and high temperatures and high temperature corrosive action of hot exhaust gas. Long term operation of exhaust valves under the conditions of cyclic thermal and mechanical tensions in the environment of diesel exhaust gas where the main oxidizing components are oxygen, carbon dioxide and overheated steam leads to a corrosion of the steel surface and diffusion processes on the thin surface layer of steel, which, under extreme conditions, may lead to a deformation of the valve, an increased leakage of the combustion chamber and a damage or destruction of the engine. The investigations of the corrosion resistance of valve steel in diesel exhaust gas containing 5, 10 and 20 % of FAME were conducted on the durability test stand of BOSMAL Automotive Research and Development Institute in Bielsko-Biała in the oxidation catalyst chamber under the conditions simulating the operation of exhaust valves in diesel engines. The tests have confirmed that the corrosion resistance of valve steel in diesel exhaust gas decreases with an increased content of FAME in the fuel and as the content of Cr, Si, Ni is reduced in the tested valve steel and the content of Mn is increased in the tested valve steel.
