Abstract

A surface hardening material being excellent in abrasion resistance and having impact resistance is provided. Provided are: a wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy containing 20.0 to 30.0 mass % of a sum of Mo and/or W, 0.8 to 2.2 mass % of B, 5.0 to 18.0 mass % of Cr, 5.0 mass % or less of a sum of Fe, Ni, Mn, Cu, Si and C, 1.0 mass % or less of Si, and 0.3 mass % or less of C, and the remainder comprising 55.0 to 70.0 mass % of Co and unavoidable impurities; and an engine valve coated with the same.

Claims (13)

1. A wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy for surface hardening of an engine valve, consisting of 21.0 to 25.0 mass % of Mo, 0.8 to 2.2 mass % of B, 5.0 to 18.0 mass % of Cr, and a remainder being 55.0 to 70.0 mass % of Co and unavoidable impurities, wherein the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy has a Charpy impact value of 5 J/cm 2 or more and hardness of 52 HRC or more.

2. An engine valve filled or coated with a wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy, the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy consisting of 21.0 to 25.0 mass % of Mo, 0.8 to 2.2 mass % of B, 5.0 to 18.0 mass % of Cr, and a remainder being 55.0 to 70.0 mass % of Co and unavoidable impurities, wherein the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy has a Charpy impact value of 5 J/cm 2 or more and a hardness of 52 HRC or more.

3. The engine valve according to claim 2 , wherein at least a face surface abutting against a sheet is filled or coated with said wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy.

4. The engine valve according to claim 2 , wherein the engine valve is filled with the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy.

5. An engine valve filled or coated with a wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy, the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy consisting of 21.0 to 25.0 mass % of Mo, 0.8 to 2.2 mass % of B, 5.0 to 18.0 mass % of Cr, at least one selected from Fe, Ni, Mn, Cu and C, and a remainder being 55.0 to 70.0 mass % of Co and unavoidable impurities, wherein a sum of Fe, Ni, Mn, Cu and C is 5.0 mass % or less, a content of C is 0.3 mass % or less, and wherein the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy has a Charpy impact value of 5 J/cm 2 or more and hardness of 52 HRC or more.

6. The engine valve according to claim 5 , wherein at least a face surface abutting against a sheet is filled or coated with said wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy.

7. The engine valve according to claim 5 , wherein the engine valve is filled with the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy.

8. An engine valve filled or coated with a wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy, the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy consisting of 21.0 to 27.0 mass % of W, 0.8 to 2.2 mass % of B, 5.0 to 18.0 mass % of Cr, and a remainder being 55.0 to 70.0 mass % of Co and unavoidable impurities, wherein the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy has a Charpy impact value of 5 J/cm 2 or more and hardness of 52 HRC or more.

9. The engine valve according to claim 8 , wherein at least a face surface abutting against a sheet is filled or coated with said wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy.

10. The engine valve according to claim 8 , wherein the engine valve is filled with the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy.

11. An engine valve filled or coated with a wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy, the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy consisting of 21.0 to 27.0 mass % of W, 0.8 to 2.2 mass % of B, 5.0 to 18.0 mass % of Cr, at least one selected from Fe, Ni, Mn, Cu and C, and a remainder being 55.0 to 70.0 mass % of Co and unavoidable impurities, wherein a sum of Fe, Ni, Mn, Cu and C is 5.0 mass % or less, a content of C is 0.3 mass % or less, and wherein the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy has a Charpy impact value of 5 J/cm 2 or more and hardness of 52 HRC or more.

12. The engine valve according to claim 11 , wherein at least a face surface abutting against a sheet is filled or coated with said wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy.

13. The engine valve according to claim 11 , wherein the engine valve is filled with the wear-resistant cobalt-based alloy.
