Valves and Valve seats of Diesel engines are subject to wear by high temperature and metal to metal friction

Depending on Welding equipment available use on of the following alloys

  • SMAW 1 : 290 (Ni based alloy) as build up and or final layer
  • GTAW: 290 -GTAW as build up and or final layer/406 (CO 6 ) as final Top layer
  • PTA : ARCWEL 2006- PTA -Powder

Above filler metals can increase the lifetime of Valves many times

Valve coated using PTA Process
Filler: Metalpowder Ni Co
“ARCWEL 2006 PTA” powder

Valve seats rebuilt by
GTAW Process, Filler rod
ARCWEL 290-GTAW

PISTON CROWNS MADE FROM ALLOY STEELS ARE SUBJECT TO HIGH TEMPERATURES ,AND FRICTION.

The surfaces tend to wear down and need to be rebuilt .

Depending on Equipment available the following filler materials are suitable for rebuilding piston
crowns.

SMAW PROCESS
  • ARCWEL 350 – SMAW (220-250 HB)
  • ARCWEL 450- SMAW (HRC 45)
GMAW PROCESS
  • ARCWEL 350—GMAW /FCAW
LASER
  • ARCWEL 2040 LAS (HRC 40 Ni base)
  • ARCWEL 2006 LAS ( HRC 40 Co Base )

Worn Piston crown totally rebuilt using
The SMAW process (ARCWEL 355)

RECOMMENDATIONS:
  • Clean surface to be rebuilt by grit blas
