2. 1. Combustion Valve Wear : A Tribological Study of Combustion Valve Sealing Interfaces

   Author : Peter Forsberg; Staffan Jacobson; Rob Dwyer-Joyce; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Combustion valves; wear; tribofilm; test rig; combustion residue; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot tribomaterial; Engineering Science with specialization in Tribo Materials;

   Abstract : The exhaust valve system of combustion engines experiences a very complex contact situation of frequent impact involving micro sliding, high and varying temperatures, complex exhaust gas chemistry and possible particulates, etc. In addition, the tribological situation in the exhaust valve system is expected to become even worse due to strict future emission regulations, which will require enhanced combustion and cleaner fuels.
