[0008] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a valve seat material suitable for a methanol engine, comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) ball-milling raw material powders in proportion to mix them uniformly, wherein the raw materials include carbon powder, tool steel powder, cobalt-molybdenum alloy powder, and copper powder;

[0032] Example 3

[0033] A valve seat material suitable for a methanol engine has the following composition, including carbon powder, tool steel powder, cobalt-molybdenum alloy powder, and copper powder:

[0034] element C Co W V Cr Mo Ni Cu Fe Content wt% 1.6 25.2 8.7 13.1 8.2 8.5 4.1 23 margin

[0035] A manufacturing process for valve seat ring materials for methanol engines: ball milling mixing → pressing molding → high temperature sintering → deep cold tempering → machining, as follows:

[0036] (1) The raw material powders were ball-milled and mixed uniformly according to the proportion, and the ball milling was performed for 2 hours at a speed of 100 r / min; (2) The mixed powders were pressed into a mold on a press, and the molded density was 6.4-6.7 g / cm 3; (3) high-temperature sintering the formed blank in a sintering furnace, the sintering temperature is 1150°C, and the sintering time is 1h; (4) deep cold tempering treatment, the deep cold temperature is -120°C, and the temperature is maintained for 30min; the tempering temperature is 600°C, and the temperature is maintained for 1.5h; (5) machining into a finished product.

[0037] The commercially available reference material WR3119 was used as a comparative example. The samples obtained in the above Examples 1-3 and the reference material WR3119 were subjected to wear resistance tests (valve material: Ni30, test conditions: temperature 500°C, rotation speed 1500rpm, test time 20 hours, wear tester) and machinability tests (test conditions: CBN tool, rotation speed 1000rpm, feed rate 0.1mm / r).

[0042]

[0043] It can be seen from the test data that the wear resistance and processing performance of the valve seat ring materials obtained in Examples 1-3 of the present invention are better than those of the reference material. The cobalt-based alloyed matrix prepared by ball milling effectively improves the high-temperature wear resistance of the powder metallurgy seat ring while ensuring thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. It can cope with harsh engine conditions, especially matching methanol engine conditions, and at the same time greatly improves the processing performance and saves tool costs. However, it is not the case that the wear resistance of the cobalt-based alloy matrix prepared by simply increasing the alloy element content is better. The higher the alloy element content, the steeper the cost, the lower the powder forming performance, the greater the tool loss, and the lower the comprehensive wear resistance. Therefore, only the cobalt-based alloyed matrix prepared by the appropriate formula and process can play the advantages of cost processing and performance balance.
