A method of making a fluid injector for a gas turbine engine includes depositing material onto a piece of tube stock. The method includes machining the deposited material into a fluid injector component. Depositing can include laser cladding the material onto the piece of tube stock. The method can include placing or flowing braze into a braze joint location between the deposited material and another fluid injector component and forming the braze into a braze joint in the braze joint location.

The invention relates to a cylinder head blank (9) for a high-pressure pump (1), which is in particular configured as a radial or in-line piston pump for fuel injection systems of air-compressing, auto-ignition internal combustion engines, comprising a base (10) having a high-pressure outlet (16) and a plurality of low-pressure connecting points (13-15). Here, the plurality of low-pressure connecting points (13-15) are closed in a raw state, wherein a low-pressure connection (11) can be fitted to each of the low-pressure connecting points (11). The invention further relates to a cylinder head for a high-pressure pump (1) and to a high-pressure pump (1).

A valve body for an electromechanically operable valve is produced by providing a base element with a circumferential sidewall having a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, the sidewall being made of a ferromagnetic material and enclosing a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis. The third portion is positioned in longitudinal direction between the first portion and the second portion. A thickness of the third portion is smaller than a thickness of the first portion and the second portion. Hardening the third portion is achieved by laser heating, which transforms a material structure of the third portion into a martensitic structure. The locally decreased thickness creates a bottleneck for a magnetic flux, and a magnetic flux bypass in the valve body is reduced due to magnetic saturation; however, a structural resistance of the valve body remains high due to the laser induced hardening.

A component of a fuel combustion system of an engine includes a body with a knurled conduction surface. The body is hollow and defines a central longitudinal axis. The body includes an outer surface, an inner surface, and an orifice surface. The outer surface defines an outer opening. The inner surface defines an interior chamber and an inner opening. The orifice surface defines an orifice passage extending between, and in communication with, the outer opening and the inner opening. The orifice passage is in communication with the interior chamber via the inner opening. The outer surface includes the knurled conduction surface. The knurled conduction surface has a boundary surface and a plurality of protrusions that project outwardly from the boundary surface. At least a portion of the knurled conduction surface is axially aligned with the interior chamber along the central longitudinal axis.

A forged fuel rail for a motor vehicle includes a tubular base body, an inlet formed in one piece on the base body and made of a same material as the base body. Further formed in one piece on the base body and made of a same material as the base body are a plurality of injector mounts and, a support element for securement of the fuel rail to a further motor vehicle component. A reinforcement member extends between a corresponding one of the injector mounts and the support element and is formed in one piece on the base body and made of a same material as the base body. The reinforcement member is hereby formed from a flash created during a forging process.

A fuel injection head for use in a fuel injection nozzle comprises a monolithic body portion comprising an upstream face, an opposite downstream face, and a peripheral wall extending therebetween. A plurality of pre-mix tubes are integrally formed with and extend axially through the body portion. Each of the pre-mix tubes comprises an inlet adjacent the upstream face, an outlet adjacent the downstream face, and a channel extending between the inlet and the outlet. Each pre-mix tube also includes at least one fuel injector that at least partially extends outward from an exterior surface of the pre-mix tube, wherein the fuel injector is integrally formed with the pre-mix tube and is configured to facilitate fuel flow between the body portion and the channel.

The present application concerns a fuel-injection metering device for a motor vehicle. The fuel-injection device include a main body with at least one through-hole, whereby the main body forms a valve seat on its inner face that is provided to interact with a valve body, whereby the inner face of the main body is electrochemically machined. The application also concerns a mould, a production method, and a fuel-injection nozzle.

A method of making a fluid injection component for a gas turbine engine includes depositing material onto a piece of tube stock. The method includes machining an elbow into the deposited material, wherein machining the elbow includes forming a braze joint surface in the deposited material. Depositing can include laser cladding the material onto the piece of tube stock.
