Abstract
This study analysed the condition of the surface layer of valve stems made of 317Ti steel after polishing and burnishing. Surface roughness, microhardness, and residual stress tests were carried out. The tests were carried out to determine the effect of the condition of the surface layer (especially non-standard parameters of surface roughness) of the stems on the durability of valves and to determine the possibility of obtaining a favourable state by means of sliding burnishing. Significant differences were observed in the values of the roughness parameters that determine the tribological properties of the surface, and higher surface microhardness and residual compressive stresses were obtained after burnishing. The durability of the stem-graphite seal in a reciprocating movement was tested, and the failure-free operation time of valves with burnished stems was approximately four times longer, which is the premise for recommending sliding diamond burnishing as a finishing treatment for valve stems.
