Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of powder metallurgy manufacturing of key parts of gas fuel engines, and in particular relates to a powder metallurgy valve seat ring of a hydrogen engine and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen has the characteristics of abundant sources, high calorific value, fast flame propagation speed, wide ignition limit, small ignition energy, and strong diffusion ability. When hydrogen burns in the air, it only produces water and a very small amount of nitrogen monoxide, which has a good environmentally friendly effect. Hydrogen can also be mixed with natural gas, gasoline, and diesel fuels to improve the power loss caused by low energy density or lean combustion and improve fuel economy. In summary, from the perspective of economy, power, and emission performance, hydrogen is an ideal engine fuel. At present, hydrogen is considered to be the most promising alternative fuel for automobile engines. As a clean energy, it has been gradually applied to the engines of automobiles, ships, and military heavy equipment, with obvious energy-saving and environmental protection effects.

[0003] For hydrogen engines, the water produced by hydrogen combustion will dilute the lubricating oil along with the blowby gas, thereby increasing the water content of the lubricating oil, aggravating the rust and wear of the engine friction pair, and reducing the reliability of the engine. At the same time, in a high temperature environment, the engine parts will be damaged by hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen corrosion due to the infiltration of hydrogen, which significantly reduces the mechanical properties and service life of metal parts.

[0004] The valve seat and valve are one of the important friction pairs of the engine. The function of the valve seat is to control the entry of fuel gas and the discharge of exhaust gas. The valve seat and valve cooperate to seal the combustion chamber to reduce the wear of the valve, and withstand the impact and wear of the valve in the high temperature environment; as well as the erosion and oxidation of the intake and exhaust flow. That is, when serving at high temperatures, it not only has to withstand high temperature and high stress impact, but also has to be corroded by exhaust gas, which is very easy to cause wear, deformation, burning, and even fracture failure. The valve seat is one of the vulnerable parts of the engine. When it is severely worn, it will cause the valve to sink too much and the airtightness is poor, which will cause failure and damage. The quality, performance and reliability of the valve seat directly affect the fuel consumption, power, efficiency and service life of the engine.

[0005] The main performance requirements of existing valve seat inserts are high strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, etc., in order to ensure the normal operation of gasoline engines, diesel engines, natural gas engines and alcohol fuel engines. However, there is currently a lack of valve seat insert materials and preparation technologies that meet the basic performance requirements of valve seat inserts and are resistant to hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen corrosion for hydrogen engines. Summary of the invention

[0029] The hydrogen engine valve seat ring of the present invention contains alloy elements such as Nb, V, Co, W, Mo, Cr, etc., which can be micro-alloyed with Fe-based alloys, which is conducive to forming a multi-element alloy matrix and fine and dispersed metal compounds, and produces comprehensive strengthening effects such as solid solution strengthening, fine grain strengthening and dispersion strengthening, which can meet the service conditions under high temperature and hydrogen fuel conditions and ensure the normal operation of the hydrogen engine; at high temperature, in addition to forming a solid solution with Fe, the above alloy elements can also form fine and round high-melting point carbides such as NbC, TiC, VC, WC, MoC, Cr7C3, etc. These carbides are very stable at the sintering temperature (1100°C to 1200°C) of the Fe-based alloy powder, and are dispersedly distributed in the crystal and on the grain boundary, which inhibits the growth of grains and hinders the movement of dislocations.
