Overview of engine valve tappet quenching equipment

The engine valve tappet quenching equipment is a specialized device used for quenching automobile engine valve tappet. It uses induction heating technology to rapidly heat and cool the valve tappet at high speed, in order to improve its hardness and wear resistance, thereby extending the service life of the valve. This type of equipment usually includes components such as high-frequency power supply, quenching machine tool, and water pressure system, which can realize a series of processes such as automatic loading and unloading, heating, and cooling of valve tappet.

Equipment working principle

Principle of Induction Heating

Induction hardening equipment uses Joule heat generated by high-frequency current on the surface of the valve tappet to heat it up, and then rapidly cools it down through a cooling medium to achieve the purpose of quenching. This heating method has the advantages of fast heating speed, uniform heating, and high thermal efficiency.

 

Quenching process

The quenching process includes three stages: heating, insulation, and cooling. Firstly, the valve tappet rapidly heats up to the quenching temperature under the action of induced current, then maintains a certain temperature during the insulation stage, and finally rapidly cools through a cooling medium (such as water or oil) to achieve the expected quenching effect.
