An "Engineering Research Series" title. Valve wear and its effect
upon engine performance still presents a major
challenge to the tribologist. Although new valve materials and
production techniques are constantly being developed, these
advances have been outpaced by demands for increased engine
performance. The drive for reduced oil consumption and exhaust
emissions, use of
lead-replacement and low-sulphur fuels, and the introduction of
alternative fuels such as gas all have implications for valve and
seat insert wear.
"Automotive Engine Valve Recession" aims to provide the reader
with a complete understanding of valve recession. The fundamental
nature of contact and wear between valves and valve seats is
considered, followed by an outline of the essential features of
valve operation and the potentially serious problems associated
with wear and valve recession in automobile engines. An overview
is
then given of an experimental study of valve wear and the
development of special apparatus for the simulation of engine
operating conditions carried out in the School of
Mechanical Engineering, University of Sheffield, UK.
CONTENTS INCLUDE: IntroductionValve operation and designValve

prediction of valve recession and solving valve failure
problems.
