Abstract: To make a sintered member having a molybdenum-containing wear-resisting layer it is known to compact a low-alloy iron powder for forming the body of said member and a non-alloyed iron-base metal powder, which contains molybdenum and is intended to form the wear-resisting layer, so as to form a shaped member, which is subsequently sintered. In order to reduce the manufacturing costs, it is proposed that in such process the metal powder for forming the wear-resisting layer contains a low-alloy iron powder and 10 to 30% by weight molybdenum and contains a total of 1.5 to 3.0% by weight carbon and phosphorus, carbon and phosphorus are optionally contained as alloying constituents in the iron powder of said metal powder in a total amount of 0.3 to 0.7% by weight, and the shaped member consisting of the body and the wear-resisting layer is subjected to liquid-phase sintering at temperatures from 1070.degree. to 1130.degree. C.

Abstract: A shank of the valve reciprocates within a hydraulic fluid-receiving chamber, and a cap, detachedly confined with the chamber cooperates with the shank to define a dashpot. The dashpot serves to decelerate the final closing of the valve to minimize wear of the valve head and the seat against which it closes.

Abstract: The specification describes a camshaft arrangement which opens a load-change valve of an internal combustion engine includes a camshaft having a projection which extends beyond what is otherwise a circular cross-section. The camshaft projection limits the relative angular motion between the camshaft and the cam element and includes a buffer which may comprise elastic material or a piston which interacts with a hydraulic medium. The buffer acts to cushion the approach motion of the camshaft projection and the inner wall, or stop, of the cam element, to prevent undesirable noise produced by, or wear of, the camshaft arrangement.

Abstract: In a tappet structure in which a rotary movement is transformed into an axial movement by way of a cam, the tappet structure has a metallic tappet body, an inside of which has a hollow portion in a manner to have an opening at one end of the tappet body. A friction-resistant ceramic plate is integrally fixed to the open end of the tappet body by means of brazing, so that the cam can frictionally slide on the ceramic plate to move the tappet body axially.

Abstract: A method for forming extremely strong ceramic-to-metal joints is provided which is particularly applicable to the formation of components for internal combustion engines. The present method simultaneously brazes a ceramic to a metal and creates a normallized microstructure and desired mechanical in the metal in a single heating step. The ceramic is metallized, a suitable alloy is applied, and the ceramic-alloy-metal composite is first heated to about 160.degree. F. to 1750.degree. F. for about one hour and then gas quenched in nitrogen or argon, or a gas with similar heat transfer capabilities.
