Abstract
The invention is directed to a joined type valve seat which is joined into the cylinder head of an aluminum alloy in an internal combustion engine by resistance welding and, in particular, to an improved joined type valve seat superior in strength, rigidity, and abrasion resistance, whereby no cracks are caused when running the engine or when joining the valve seat to the engine block by resistance welding. The valve seat is made of a material having a tensile strength of 300 MPa or above, a radial crushing strength of 500 MPa or above, an elongation of 0.6% or more, a thermal conductivity of 15 W/(m.multidot.K) or above, a coefficient of thermal expansion of 10.times.10-.sup.6 (1/K) or above, and an electric resistivity of 50 .mu..OMEGA..multidot.cm or below.
