摘要:
In an exhaust control valve having a valve housing and a valve body rotatably contained in the valve housing, a transmission member is fitted to an outer end of the valve shaft and protrudes from the outside of the valve housing. A bearing bushing for rotatably bearing an external circumferential surface of the valve shaft by its internal circumferential surface and rotatably bearing an end face of the valve body by its end face is mounted in the valve housing. The valve body is urged by load from a thrust spring for achieving a pressure contact seal condition between the opposed end faces of the bearing bush and the valve body.
摘要:
An exhaust control valve has a valve housing and a valve body rotatably contained within the valve housing. The valve body cooperates with the valve housing for controlling the flow of exhaust gas. A transmission member rotationally drives a valve shaft of the valve body. The valve body is formed in a cylindrical shape and coaxially with an axis line of the valve shaft. The valve body and the valve shaft are made from a one-piece body by casting. This arrangement provides an exhaust control valve for an engine having a valve body that provides excellent sealing properties, demonstrates high response to driving torque and is easy to manufacture through casting.

A brake disk having a disk body formed of a titanium alloy, and inner and outer friction members formed of a stainless steel and bonded to opposite surfaces of the disk body by a brazing method is disclosed. The friction members can be simply bonded to the opposite surfaces of the disk body in a manner that provides a lightweight brake disk while simultaneously suppressing cost.

A sintered friction material having excellent high-temperature strength, heat-resistance, abrasion-resistance and .mu. characteristic, and capable of maintaining high friction coefficient stably is provided. The sintered friction material contains a foundation of titanium and/or titanium alloy powder, a solid lubricant and a fiber of hard material. The sintered friction material having the foundation of titanium and/or titanium alloy powder as the base is lined and joined onto a holder plate to form a friction pad suitable for use with a brake rotor made of titanium or titanium alloy.

Modern brake rotors require enhanced resistance to thermal stress in order to withstand vigorous operating conditions. A brake rotor manufactured from (.alpha.+.beta.) titanium alloy will fulfill the thermal stress requirements when an equiaxed grain structure is imposed on the alloy. The equiaxed grains can preferably range from 300 .mu.m to 3 mm in size. The equiaxed grain structure is attained by heat treating the brake rotor at the .beta. phase transformation temperature, followed by quenching. When Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy is used to form the brake rotor, .beta. phase transformation temperature is 1000.degree. C. the heat treatment temperature range is 986-1200.degree. C. The preferable heat treatment for Ti-6Al-4V alloy is 1050.degree. C. for 2 hours.
摘要:
A brake rotor in which deformation against thermal stress is reduced, thereby preventing a surface layer from being cracked or peeled upon operation of the brake rotor at a high temperature. A titanium alloy is heat-treated at a .beta. phase transformation temperature and is quenched, so that grains of the alloy are equiaxed up to sizes ranging from 300 .mu.m to 4 mm, whereby deformation against thermal stress is significantly improved.

A raw material for powder metallurgy contains at least 0.5 vol % and at most 10 vol % of alumina powder of which the sieve fraction with a sieve opening of 30 .mu.m is at most 0.1 wt %, and a remaining part of aluminum alloy powder. The moisture content of the alumina powder is at most 0.15 wt. % with respect to the alumina powder. Agglomeration of particles is thereby minimized or avoided. Highly reliable raw material for powder metallurgy having superior fatigue strength, impact resistance and wear resistance can be obtained. A method of preparing such a mixed powder raw material involves air classifying the powder materials, dry ball mixing the materials, and then annealing the mixed powder.
