Electromagnetic solenoid has movable core having end surface that is formed between inner circumferential surface and outer circumferential surface of movable core; and fixed core having end surface that is formed between inner circumferential surface and outer circumferential surface of fixed core and faces the end surface of movable core. Ring-shaped protruding portion is formed at least either one of the end surface of the movable core or the end surface of the fixed core. Protruding portion is provided at a position that is shifted to a radially inner circumferential side of the end surface. A length between apex and inner circumferential edge of protruding portion is shorter than a length between the apex and an outer circumferential edge of protruding portion.

It is important not to form the partial bump in the collision structural part, however the fixed core and the movable core are relatively inclined due to an accumulation of tolerances and therefore even if each collision structural part of the fixed core and the movable core in formed in a flat shape, the fixed core and the movable core are contacted with not the whole of the collision structural parts but a part of the collision structural parts at the moment of the collision. In a case in which the collision structural part is formed in a ring shape or an intermittent ring shape, the fixed core and the movable core are contacted with each other at outer peripheral parts. Thus, when the fixed core and the movable core are collided with each other, a high stress is applied to the outer peripheral parts contacted first. Accordingly, the shape of the outer peripheral parts of the collision structural parts is important, however since such a part, which is a tiny protruding shape, requires high processing accuracy, to reduce stress occurred during collision while keeping productivity is difficult. In the present invention, an R-shaped part and a flat part are provided in order from an outer peripheral side of a collision structural part. Further, the R-shaped part and the flat part are connected in a tangent manner.

There is provided a solenoid pipe including a pipe formed of a ferromagnetic material containing 15 mass % or more to 18 mass % or less of Cr, an electromagnetic coil, and a valve body. A part of the pipe includes a reform portion, and the reform portion has a composition in which a component of the ferromagnetic material is mixed with a component of a Ni-containing material. e/d which is a ratio of a maximum deformation amount e of an outer circumferential surface side of the reform portion of the pipe with respect to a thickness d of the pipe near the reform portion is 0.5 or less, and c/d which is a ratio of a maximum deformation amount c of an inner circumferential surface side of the reform portion of the pipe with respect to the thickness d of the pipe is 0.5 or less. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a locally feeble magnetized pipe with high dimensional accuracy and the solenoid valve using the pipe.

The present disclosure relates to internal combustion engines. Various embodiments may include an electromagnetic injection valve, particularly a solenoid type fluid injection valve for automotive applications. For example, an electromagnetic injection valve may include: an inlet tube; a valve body having a longitudinal axis and a cavity in which a valve needle moves; an upper magnetic ring press-fitted with the inlet tube or the valve body; a lower magnetic ring press-fitted with the valve body; and a housing part surrounding an electromagnetic actuator unit for moving the valve needle. The lower magnetic ring is positioned on the valve body in such a way that an upper side of the lower magnetic ring is in close contact with an underside of the housing part. The electromagnetic actuator unit abuts the upper magnetic ring and the lower magnetic ring on opposite axial sides. The housing part and/or the lower magnetic ring comprises a cut extending along the axis.

There is provided a hollow composite magnetic member obtained by partially reforming a hollow member which is formed of a ferromagnetic material containing Cr of 15 mass % or more and 18 mass % or less, in which the reformed portion includes an alloy containing Cr of 8 mass % or more and 18 mass % and Ni of 6.5 mass % or more and 50 mass % or less. Accordingly, a hollow composite magnetic member having a small width of the nonmagnetic portion and a fuel injection valve having the same can be provided.

A fuel injector tip for a fuel injector. The fuel injector tip includes an inner tip surface and an outer tip surface that is opposite to the inner tip surface. At least one orifice extends through the fuel injector tip from the inner tip surface to the outer tip surface, and is configured to atomize fuel flowing therethrough to generate a fuel mist. The fuel injector tip is three-dimensionally printed.

A method of manufacturing a fuel distributor is disclosed. The fuel distributor includes a distributor pipe for receiving pressurized fuel. The distributor pipe has a tubular main body produced from a forged blank processed mechanically. The unprocessed forged blank or the partially processed forged blank is heat treated at a temperature of between 850 C. and 1100 C., in particular of greater than or equal to 950 C., for a period of time of greater than or equal to 60 seconds.

An electromagnetically actuable rate control valve for controlling a delivery rate of a high-pressure pump includes an electromagnet, a valve element, an armature shaft, and at least one strength element. The valve element is movable in an axial direction and is configured to open and to close the electromagnetically actuable rate control valve. The armature shaft transmits a force. The force is produced by the electromagnet and acts on the valve element in the axial direction. The at least one strength element is configured to raise at least the strength of the armature shaft. The armature shaft includes a needle region adjacent to the valve element and an armature region remote from the valve element. The needle region and the armature region are integral with each other.

A solid actuator has an actuator structural unit, a top plate and a base plate. A hollow cylinder part made of maraging steel is heated to a predetermined first temperature at which the maraging steel is in an austenitic state. A corrugated tube is shaped from the hollow cylinder part by a shaping process, while the maraging steel is still in an austenitic state. The corrugated tube is cooled such that the maraging steel is in a martensitic state. The actuator structural unit is inserted into the corrugated tube. The top plate and the base plate are fixed to the corrugated tube such that the actuator structural unit is clamped between the top plate and the base plate at a predetermined pre-tension.

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.
