NIMONIC N80A / INCONEL X-751
Superalloys
Both Nimonic and Inconel are a part of the austenitic nickel based superalloys which main feature is their oxidation and corrosion resistance abilities.
The rich nickel composition of the Nimonic and Inconel is used by SINUS for the production of the valve’s head area.
Valves made using either the Nimonic or the Inconel superalloy are designated for engines that outputs extremely high temperatures.
STELLITE PLATING ON VALVE SEAT SURFACE
Prevents face deformation
Stelite alloy is a range of cobalt chromium alloys designed for wear resistance.
The stelite alloy is completely non-magnetic and displays astounding level of hardness and toughness.
Stellite welding on the valve’s seat surface enalbes significantly longer lifespan to the valve and also prevents the valve’s face area from deforming.
SPIRAL / SWIRL POLISH
strength improvement
The Spiral / Swirl Polish process is designated to improve the valve’s strength and break the concentric lines.
JET FLOW (J.F) CUT
Gas flow improvement
Jet Flow (J.F) cut is designated to improve the gas flow.
