The automobile manufacturing sector gets advanced day by day; a greater number of sophisticated vehicles with high speed and fuel efficiency are being made around the world. Thus, every component of an automobile must be of high quality with standards; one of the most vital parts of a spark-ignition engine is the engine valve. It is a very fragile component subject to repetitive mechanical loads at high temperatures. The valve tappet end tipping is a process to increasing the wear resistance of the tappet end by Micro Plasma Arc Welding using STELLITE Grade 1 as the filler material. This work aims to optimize the Tipping process undergoing trials in the ABC Engineering Works in a PLC controlled machine; a specially developed for the tipping purpose. After the tipping process, the weld portion of the valve shows occurrence of blow hole and non-uniform bonding at the interface of the metals. Thereby, this work is concerned to eradicate the above-mentioned problems struck with the tipping process. The investigational study suggested Standard Operation Procedure (SOP) based on the experiments and literature. The conducted trial runs are conducted by SOP in the machine after analyzing the problems and other factors. The results of the trial runs evidenced that the workpieces were reduced to less than 18% from the previous rate of rejection from 30 %. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
