This work presents aspects related to new sintered materials for valve seat inserts application. Two types of materials were evaluated. The materials were made using powder metallurgy technique from a basic mixture of high-speed steel (AISI M3/2), iron and carbide powders. The microstructures of these materials before and after heat treatment are presented. Under the heat treatment condition, the activation of the diffusion mechanism among phases was promoted and a better distribution of the Cu phases along the matrix was achieved. The results indicate that the materials under development have a potential for commercial application as valve seat inserts.

This article shows some fabrication aspects related to the obtention of sintered valve seat insert. This insert was made of a mixture of high-speed steel powders and iron powders plus NbC. This is a new development aiming the substitution of Co alloys currently used for valve seat inserts. The physical properties, mechanical properties and machining behaviour are discussed. The machining characteristics in terms of tool wear, cutting forces and chips morphology of the insert was compared to available commercial insert. The machining results indicate that the material under development has potential for commercial application and shows good machining evidences, in terms of equivalent cutting forces for ceramic tool. In addition, the machining using hard metal tool was susceptible to hardness variation observed for the material under development. Therefore, the machining tests point out the necessity for a microstructure homogenisation of the obtained material.

The conventional copper infiltrated high speed steel (HSS) valve seats used in gasoline engines are not suitable for CNG combustion because the exhaust gas temperature is at least 80 °C higher, which drastically shortens the service life of the engine valves. Therefore, a proprietary high-alloy HSS-base material was designed to combat hot corrosion and mechanical wear of valve seat faces in CNG fuelled engines. A batch of −100 mesh water atomized HSS powder was commissioned. The powder was vacuum annealed in order to reduce oxygen content and increase its compressibility. To improve the final part machinability, 1.2% MnS was admixed to the HSS powder prior to compaction. The green compacts were sintered at 1135 °C in nitrogen to around 83% TD and subsequently infiltrated with a copper alloy. After installing the valve seat components on a cylinder head, the engine was tested for 100 h according to the automotive industry valve seat wear test procedures. Both the periodic 8-h checks as well as the final examination of the valve seats showed very slow wear, indicating their suitability for CNG powered engines.

The Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology uses a mixture of metal powders with different melting points to build objects layer by layer, directly from the geometric digitalised information. This process allows the manufacturing of prototype and production tools. In this study, the M3/2 high speed steel powder blended with 20 wt.% Cu3P and 0.25 wt.% graphite was laser-sintered, using two scan speeds (100 and 200 mm/s), keeping constant both hatching (0.30mm between two consecutive lines) and laser power (180W). The powder was spread in uniform layers of about 20m over a steel plate (100x60x6mm). The laser beam scanned small areas (12x15mm) in a single direction (OX). The surface morphology of the laser-sintered material shows that all material melted, but for 200mm/s scan speed, strings are well defined. This is probably due to a lower level of energy supplied to the material. The microstructure of the sintered material was studied in the longitudinal and transverse sections, to evaluate the consolidation process and layer growth. The material showed porosity and cracks formed during the process.
