Valve-seat components in a diesel engine: a tribological approach to limit wear

Within diesel engines, the valve-seat contact is one of the few non-lubricated contacts which is subjected to significant degradation. This degradation is put in evidence by material removal at the intake valve. The material pull out is promoted by the replication of combustion cycles (500 million)...

Valve-seat components in a diesel engine: a tribological approach to limit wear
description Within diesel engines, the valve-seat contact is one of the few non-lubricated contacts which is subjected to significant degradation.
