ARCOR® Surface Treatments and Valvetrain Components.
Posted on May 30, 2024Adhesive wear resistance and low coefficient of friction values are of paramount importance on valvetrain components.
ARCOR® represents the latest controlled liquid iconic nitrocarburizing (CLIN™) surface treatment technology. It provides an excellent combination of wear and corrosion protection as well as enhancing friction properties
These benefits are widely recognized and specified by engine manufactures to address these issues. Furthermore, though collaboration with of our valued customers on material specification & surface treatment selection it has been possible to eliminate the need for bimetallic bushing traditional used between the rocker arm & shaft. Achieving this is possible by either replacing induction hardening of the shaft with ARCOR® or treating the surface of the body with ARCOR® .
ARCOR® is globally available through the HEF Groups network of TS jobbing shops.
TSUK will be happy to discuss the technical advantages of ARCOR® on your valvetrain components, Rocker arms, Rocker shafts, Rocker arm brackets, inlet & exhaust valves, valve seat inserts and tip wear caps.
