Abstract:
A bushing for a track assembly includes a tubular bushing substrate having a longitudinal length and an outer surface. The outer surface includes at least one flat portion. The bushing also includes at least one white iron member. The at least one white iron member includes a flat inner surface, and the flat inner surface of the at least one white iron member is fixed to the flat portion of the outer surface of the tubular bushing substrate.
Abstract:
A valve for use in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The valve includes a stem connected to a fillet disposed between the stem and a seat face. A port receives the stem and accommodates a seat insert that engages the seat face when the valve is in a closed position. The seat insert is fabricated from a non-cobalt-based alloy or an iron-based alloy and the seat face is coated with a cobalt-based alloy or a nickel-based alloy. The coating may be applied using a thermal spray process, such as HVOF.
Abstract:
A poppet valve has an elongated stem that is configured to extend along a longitudinal axis. The poppet valve further includes a valve body that is disposed laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis and located in a spaced apart relation with an end of the elongated stem. The valve body has a pair of opposing faces disposed co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the elongated stem. The poppet valve also includes at least two arcuately shaped appendages depending downwardly from the end of the elongated stem and extending away from the longitudinal axis of the elongated stem. An end of each appendage is disposed in abutment with an annular region defined on one of the opposing faces of the valve body, a perimeter of the annular region being larger than a perimeter of the elongated stem measured about the longitudinal axis.
Abstract:
A high temperature alloy is disclosed. The high temperature alloy may have on a weight basis: about 9.0-10.0 weight % of Co, about 0.25 weight % maximum of Fe, about 8.0-9.0 weight % of Cr, about 4.75-5.50 weight % of Al, about 1.0-1.5 weight % of Ti, about 0-2.0 weight % of Mo, about 6.0-9.0 weight %, of W, about 0.12-0.18 weight % of C, about 0.01-0.03 weight % of Zr, about 0.005-0.015 weight % of B, about 0.5-1.5 weight % of Ta, a balance of Ni, and incidental impurities.

Abstract:
An alloy for cladding cast iron is disclosed. The alloy may include on a weight basis, about 6.2% to about 9.3% of chromium (Cr), about 3.0% to about 4.5% of iron (Fe), about 1.4% to about 2.15% of silicon (Si), about 0.5% to about 0.8% of boron (B), about 0.1% of carbon (C), and a balance of nickel (Ni) and incidental impurities.
