Análisis de corrosión de válvulas de admisión y escape de un motor Diesel

Abstract

In this project, the diagnosis of corrosion found in a valve of a diesel engine was made. To do this, a visual inspection of the object of study was carried out, with the support of characterization techniques such as optical microscopy and hardness measurement. . The analyzes of the samples also help to gather evidence to clarify the general picture of the root of the fault. After studying the information collected, it is concluded that the valve communicates corrosion in the form of bites caused by the environment to which it was already. This type of studies helps to define the design parameters to avoid faults in machines and structures, as well as a history of failures with the defined causes that will serve as support for future projects.
