RESEARCH PROJECT
Wear of Automotive Engine Valves and Seats

The drive for reduced emissions from diesel exhausts has led to a reduction in the
amount of oil present in the air stream in automotive diesel engines. This, in turn,
has led to an increase in the wear of inlet valves and seat inserts in diesel engines.
Three types of valve/seat insert failure occur in internal combustion engines. These
are valve recession, guttering and torching. The most prevalent failure mechanism
in diesel engines is valve recession. This is caused by material removal from the
valve and/or the seat insert.
Two test-rigs have been developed (bench test-rig and motorised
cylinder-head) that are capable of providing a valid simulation of the
wear of both inlet valves and seat inserts used in automotive diesel
engines. The bench test-rig, designed to be mounted in a hydraulic test
machine, is able to simulate both combustion loading and impact of the
valve on the seat on valve closure. It is not possible, however, to vary the
closing velocity significantly. The motorised cylinder-head can be used
to investigate impact wear of valve and seats over a range of closing
velocities. Test methodologies developed for the bench test-rig have
isolated the effects of impact and sliding.
Investigations have shown that the valve and seat insert wear problem involves two distinct mechanisms; impact of the valve on
the seat insert on valve closure and sliding of the valve on the seat insert under the action of the combustion pressure. Both have a
large influence on valve recession. It is in combination, however, that they have the largest effect. In tests run on the bench test-rig
using impact and sliding in combination it took a few thousand cycles to achieve wear attained in several hundred thousand cycles
in the frictional sliding tests.

The pictures illustrate; a series of ridges and valleys on a valve seating face
formed by a deformation/gouging process as a result of impact on valve closure;
radial indentations on an insert seating face caused by the valve sliding against
the insert under the effect of combustion loading and surface cracking and
subsequent material loss on an insert seating face as a result of impact on valve
closure.

Wear has been shown to increase with valve closing velocity, combustion load and misalignment of the valve relative to the seat
insert. Lubrication of the valve/seat interface reduced valve recession, on the material combination tested, by a factor of ten.
A semi-empirical wear model for predicting valve recession
has been developed based on the fundamental mechanisms of
wear determined during test work. Model predictions were
compared with engine tests as shown in the graph to the right.
The model can be used to give a quantitative prediction of the
valve recession to be expected with a particular material pair or
a qualitative assessment of how parameters need to be altered
in order to reduce recession.
Software called RECESS has been developed to run the semi-
empirical valve recession model.
Flow charts have also been developed, based on the review of literature, failure analysis and modelling carried out, to assist in
diagnosing and rectifying valve/seat failures and to help in reducing valve recession by design.
