Additional information
This work proved that laser hardening of valve seating faces, in lieu of traditional seat inserts, was a viable process for the manufacture of low volume diesel engines. The work led to Slatter being contracted to give on-going technical advice (£9890 to date) to Caterpillar (UK/USA) compact powertrain modelling group, the development of experimental projects with Hoganas (Sweden) concerning the performance of clad valve seats and technical contributions to the work of Markisches Werk Halver (Germany) who are using the work to model wear of cladded valves in their large marine compressed natural gas engines (all contact details available).
