Farinia Invests in Next-Generation Steels for Common Rail

PARIS - Nov. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Farinia Group is about to develop in close collaboration with experienced steel producers new steels for diesel common rails that correspond to modern engine standards.

The diesel common rail is hot forged and supports pressure up to 2200 bars. The fuel pressure in the next-generation diesel engines can reach up to 2700 – 2800 bars. This makes out of the common rail a component with very specific requirements. It should possess best mechanical properties in order to be strong and resistant to fatigue, loading, vibration and other environmental conditions. Eventual common rail failure is always critical since the entire vehicle can be blocked or even set on fire. Exposed continuously to increased pressure and heat, its performance is crucial for the whole system. To ensure the flawless performance of a common rail, Farinia invests in the development of better steels for improved strength and resistance.

Raw material selection is a crucial moment in every manufacturing process. Farinia common rails are made of elaborated steels for diesel common rails and stainless steel for common rail for a gasoline direct injection to conform to all innovations in the automotive sector.

The new steels will contribute to improved mechanical properties, which eliminates any possible common rail problems. Some of the characteristics are excellent internal pressure fatigue resisting, vibration fatigue resisting and cavitation resisting properties. Besides selecting best materials, other important criteria of a good common rail are defining and keeping best geometry and applying high-quality manufacturing process.
