Abstract

There are disclosed a laser clad valve seat raw-material powder superior in productivity, cladding property, wear resistance and finishing property, and a laser clad valve seat using the same superior in wear resistance. The row-material powder comprises a powder mixture comprising: 80 to 99% by weight of a Cu-based alloy powder comprising 0.5 to 5% by weight of B, 0 to 20% by weight of Ni, 0 to 10% by weight of Fe plus Co, 0 to 5% by weight of Si, 0 to 3% by weight of Al, and the balance Cu and unavoidable impurities; and 1-20% by weight of an Fe or Co based alloy powder having a Vickers hardness of 500 HV or higher and an average particle diameter of 50 to 200 μm of and comprising 5 to 40% by weight of Mo, 0 to 25% by weight of Cr, 0 to 5% by weight of Si, and the balance Fe or Co and unavoidable impurities.

Claims (33)
