During the past five years the use of assembled camshafts in the North American automotive market has grown steadily. For valve-trains that operate with roller followers at relatively high contact stress, assembled camshafts are a cost-effective solution, as compared to camshafts machined from forged bar stock. Forged bearing steels, and, to a lesser extent, powder forged steels, have been the materials of choice for the manufacture of cam lobes for assembled camshafts. Sintered alloys offer an attractive alternative to forged steel because very accurate cam lobes can be manufactured via pressing and sintering. However, the use of sintered alloys has been limited by their relatively low rolling contact fatigue properties. This paper presents the application of sintered lobes in mechanically assembled camshafts that operate in roller follower valve-trains at relatively high contact stress.
