Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of Caterpillar's 3608 and 3612 industrial engines, these OEM-specified valve seats (#1605769 intake / #1605770 exhaust) deliver uncompromising performance in continuous-duty applications. These precision components form the critical sealing interface between valves and cylinder heads, maintaining combustion efficiency throughout extended service intervals in the most challenging environments.
Advanced Metallurgy for Extreme Conditions:
The exhaust valve seat (1605770) utilizes a proprietary nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy with tungsten carbide reinforcement, specifically formulated to withstand sustained 950°C (1742°F) exhaust gas temperatures while resisting thermal fatigue and corrosion. The intake seat (1605769) features a copper-impregnated iron matrix that combines exceptional thermal conductivity with superior machinability for perfect surface finishes.
Performance-Enhancing Features:
Exceptional Wear Resistance – The exhaust seat's composite alloy structure demonstrates 50% greater longevity than conventional materials in high-hour power generation and marine applications.
Optimized Thermal Performance – The intake seat's copper-rich composition provides:
35% improved heat transfer compared to standard iron seats
More stable valve clearances during thermal cycling
Reduced thermal stress on cylinder heads
Precision Machined Surfaces – CNC-finished to 0.4-0.6μm Ra surface roughness ensures:
Complete circumferential valve contact
Consistent compression retention
Minimized gas leakage across all operating conditions
