Engine Valve Grinding, CBN Grinding Wheel

Engine Valve Grinding Wheel
The Valve is responsible for the input of fuel into the engine and exhaust gas. The valve is an important part of the car. The grinding part is the clamping groove of the air lock and the lug line. The quality of the valve plays a vital role in ensuring the efficiency of the engine. In order to ensure the processing accuracy of the valve, the outer diameter of the valve, the cone surface, the umbrella, the large end face and other surfaces are to be completed by grinding.

Grinding is a major element in the engine valve machining chain, and is therefore largely responsible for component quality. The grinding wheels are used to process engine valves (inlet valves and exhasut valves) in cars, motorcycles, trucks, and other engine valves.

Valve is made of valve head, valve seat and valve stem three parts. The valve head is the entire lower area of the valve, with the valve face and inner rounded corners. The force produced by combustion pressure is applied here.
The main parts of valve grinding include
– Valve cut off grinding
– Valve shaft centerless grinding
– Valve head & seat grinding
– Valve groove & tip raduis grinding
– Valve stem end grinding
– Valve seat grinding

Valve base cutting
Using profile CBN high speed  grinding wheel to cut the stem of engine valve in order to control the total length of engine valve. Metal CBN grinding wheel havev high material  removal, good shape retention, is the ideal tool for cutting valve base. Using Moresuperhard metal CBN grinding wheel to achieve profile accuracy.

Valve  Disc end face grinding
Metal CBN grinding wheel with fine  grit is suitable for finish grinding the end face of vlave disc.

Valve keeper groove grinding
Many varieties of valves (including the valve with asymmetric groove shape of the keeper groove) contain the keeper groove in the quenching area of the rod end. Considering the stress effect of hot processing on the keeper groove, the keeper groove shape is often processed by forming the keeper groove grinding after quenching. Therefore, it is an effective way to ensure the machining accuracy of the air lock groove by using the forming grinding method of the valve keeper groove.

CBN grinding wheel has the characteristics of high sharpness and wear resistance, high hardness and large grinding ratio. Engine valve grinding processes include external grinding, valve disc seat grinding, chamfering grinding, arc grinding and other parts. Groove profiles using Moresuperhard Electroplated CBN grinding wheel, valve keeper groove profiles can be formed precisely with accuracy down to the micrometre.

Valve seat grinding
* For pre-grind valve seat:
Using Moresuperhard electroplated CBN grinding wheel .

* Fine grinding :
Vitrified CBN  grinding wheel has good cutting performance, good thermal stability and chemical stability, good self-sharpeness, using Moresuperhard vitrified CBN diamond grinding wheel can achieve high precision valve seat. Regular dressing can guarantees constant component quality of valve seat.
