Abstract
A method is provided for forming a thick and hard deposit having excellent thermal shock resistance on an engine valve made of a titanium material, particularly on its face and stem end, without allowing the formation of any brittle compound layer between the deposit and the valve material. An engine valve hardfaced on its face and stem end is also provided. A powder comprising a titanium material and 1 to 90% by weight of cobalt, or at least 25% by weight of a titanium material, 1 to 50% by weight of cobalt and 1 to 50% weight of a cobalt-based alloy is fused and deposited on an engine valve mad of a titanium material (e.g., on its face), and the deposited material is aged. The powder is prepared by mixing at least two powders, or from a molten alloy containing all of its constituents, to form a thick and hard deposit having excellent thermal shock and wear resistance on, e.g., the face of the engine valve and is, therefore, of high industrial utility.
