Introduction
valve typically used to control the timing and quantity of gas or vapour flow into
an engine.
It consists of a hole, usually round or oval, and a tapered plug, usually a disk
shape on the end of a shaft also called a valve stem. The portion of the hole where
the plug meets with it is referred to as the 'seat' or 'valve seat'. The shaft guides the
plug portion by sliding through a valve guide. In exhaust applications a pressure
differential helps to seal the valve and in intake valves a pressure differential helps
open it.
Poppet valves date from at least the 1770s, when James Watt used them on his
steam engines.

THE STRUCTURE OF
POPPET VALVE
Vavle Assembly Parts

Both inlet and exhaust ports are shaped to curve upwardsand outwards
emerging from one or both sides of the cylinder head
It is normal to have one inlet and one exhaust valve and port per
cylinder. However, twin inlet and exhaust valve-and-port layout are also
adopted for some high-performance or large capacity engines.
Valve may be positioned vertically or slightly inclined relative to the
cylinger axis, matching the desired combustion chamber contour.
Poppet-valve have different configuration within the engine relative to the
cylinder. In the overhead-cam engine, the camshaft is monted in the
head, either above or to one side of the valve whichimproves valve action
at higher engine speeds.
The valve is operated directly by means of valve lifters or cam followers,
or through rocker arms.
Process
The poppet valve is fundamentally different from slide and oscillating
valves instead of sliding or rocking over a seat to uncover a port, the
poppet valve lifts from the seat with a movement perpendicular to the
plane of the port.
The main advantage of the poppet valve is that it has no movement on
the seat, thus requiring no lubrication
Poppet valves are used in most piston engines to open and close the
intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder head.
The valve is usually a flat disk of metal with a long rod known as the
'valve stem' attached to one side.
Material of Poppet Valve
Titanium is a popular choice for these components, has very low
density and resistant to rust and corrosion
A common titanium valve alloy, which many of the manufacturers use,
is Ti-6242, which is more highly alloyed than Ti-6Al-4V, and contains
the same 6% of aluminium, along with 2% of tin, 4% of zirconium and
2% of molybdenum. (resistant to high temperature)
In addition to its low density and strength, titanium lends itself to
manufacturing processes which mean that its properties can be tailored
precisely to its intended application
Disadvantage of Titanium
The material is very expensive.
titanium cannot be easily cast like aluminum or iron
