DESCRIPTION

In the new sophisticated diesel direct injection diesel and gasoline , the common rail plays an essential role. Exposed continuously to increased pressure and heat, its performance is crucial for the whole system.

The common rail is the most essential

component of the direct fuel injection system:

diesel or gasoline.

Its role is to accumulate highly pressurized fuel

and distribute it to the injectors.

Why is a Common Rail Critical for Your Car?

Because a common rail failure can block the entire vehicle or

set it on fire.

Therefore:

A common rail should possess best mechanical properties.

DESIGN

1. The next-generation gasoline and diesel engines tend to become

smaller and lighter. The common rail shape should conform to the new

engine requirements and support high pressure.

2. Size and weight have been minimized, therefore material and design

optimized.

3. Geometry mistakes can easily lead to damage. The precise

parameters should be defined in the design phase and strictly followed

during the manufacturing process.

RAW MATERIAL SELECTION

The steels of which common rail are manufactured should possess

the following mechanical properties:

1. Excellent Internal Pressure Fatigue Resisting Property

2. Vibration Fatigue Resisting Property

3. Cavitation Resisting Property

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Forging with high-quality dies and tools is the best way to

manufacture common rails:

1. When forged, the common rail consists only of one piece

which eliminates the risk for cracks and leakages.

2. Forging strengthens the material by closing empty spaces

within the metal

3. Only hot forged steel offers resistance and reliability that go

hand in hand with the reduction of emission of gas and

particles.

FINAL PARAMETERS

1. Cooling

The right cooling contributes to optimized strength and resistance

of the component, providing best mechanical properties.

2. Trimming

Trimming is a precise operation which ensures the final

parameters and should be done with special attention.
