The composition of a hard-facing welding material to be overlaid onto a cast iron base metal followed by a supercooling treatment for hardening must lie above a line LA in a Schaeffler's structure diagram which is represented by a Cr equivalent and a Ni equivalent. On the other hand, if the base metal is preheated, the carbon precipitation line will be at the Ni equivalent of 34 (LC1), and the Cr equivalent will thus be above 4. However, if the Cr equivalent is above 4, there will occur cracks after welding (examples in which cracks occurred are shown by square marks represented by a in FIG. 1). As a solution, the carbon precipitation line was raised up to the Ni equivalent of 38 without preheating the base metal, and the Cr equivalent of the welding material was made to be 4 or less.

An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine has a catalytic converter arranged in an exhaust passage. A maximum oxygen storage amount indicative of the maximum amount of oxygen that can be stored in the catalytic converter is calculated. The air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine is forcibly oscillated at a predetermined frequency and a predetermined amplitude. At least one of the predetermined frequency and the predetermined amplitude is changed at a predetermined rate of change. A predetermined rate of change of the at least one of the predetermined frequency and the predetermined amplitude is set in dependence on the maximum oxygen storage amount to thereby secure the maximum purification rate of the catalytic converter.

Air-fuel ratio control system for internal combustion engines and

A fuel injection mount control system for an internal combustion engine includes an ECU which calculates a first amount of fuel directly drawn into each combustion chamber out of an amount of fuel injected into the intake passage via a corresponding fuel injection valve, a second amount of fuel carried off fuel adhering to the wall surface of the intake passage into the combustion chamber, and an amount of fuel to be injected into the intake passage, based on the first fuel amount and the second fuel amount, calculates an air-fuel ratio correction amount, based on an output form an air-fuel ratio sensor arranged in the exhaust system, and corrects the amount of fuel to be injected into the intake passage by the air-fuel ratio correction amount. Further, the ECU corrects the second fuel amount, based on the air-fuel ratio correction amount.

A fuel supply amount control system for an internal combustion engine having exhaust gas recirculation passage extending between the exhaust passage and the intake passage, and an exhaust gas recirculation valve arranged across the exhaust gas recirculation passage, for recirculating part of exhaust gases emitted from the engine to the intake passage, has an ECU which detects an actual valve lift amount of the exhaust gas recirculation valve, determines a desired valve lift amount of the exhaust gas recirculation valve, based on operating conditions of the engine, and controls the exhaust gas recirculation valve, based on determined the desired valve lift amount and the detected actual valve lift amount, when the engine is in a predetermined operating region where conditions for executing exhaust gas recirculation control are satisfied. A basic fuel supply amount is calculated based on operating conditions of the engine, and a correction coefficient for correcting the basic fuel supply amount, is set based on the actual valve lift amount and the desired valve lift amount, when the engine is in the predetermined operating region. The basic fuel amount is corrected based on the correction coefficient.

A metallic press die having an edge portion or high pressure portion for processing a workpiece therewith is made by overlaying a welding material to that portion of a base material for the metallic press die which forms the edge portion or high pressure portion, and then machining an overlaid portion into a predetermined shape of the edge portion or high pressure portion. The welding material has a hardness after welding of HRC 45 or below. After the machining step, the overlaid portion is subjected to a subzero treatment to increase the hardness of the overlaid portion. The welding material contains, as a basic composition thereof, 0.5-1.5% by weight of carbon (C), 0.2 -2.0% by weight of silicon (Si), 0.3-6.0% by weight of manganese (Mn), 0.3-10.0% by weight of chromium (Cr), 0.3-10.0% by weight of cobalt (Co), and the remaining parts of iron (Fe) inclusive of unavoidable impurities, and wherein a starting temperature of martensitic transformation is 150 .degree. C. or below.
