    摘要: A valve for use in an internal combustion engine is provided. The valve includes a valve head. The valve head includes a combustion face configured to face a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. The combustion face includes an angular side portion. The combustion face also includes a central recess portion defining an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The inner diameter and the outer diameter together define a depth of the central recess portion. The valve also includes a neck portion configured to connect the valve head with a valve stem of the valve.

    摘要: A gas exchange valve in an internal combustion engine includes a valve head having a sealing face structured to contact a valve seat and defining a face angle. The valve head further includes an under-head fillet transitioning from the inner sealing face to a valve stem, and defining a chordal stress zone within the under-head fillet. The under-head fillet is formed by a material distributed according to a stress-diffusing contour within the chordal stress zone, and is blended with the inner sealing face at a blend angle that is less than the face angle and is in a range of about 18° to about 35°. The valve head contour is associated with resistance to chordal stress-induced fatigue failure.
