Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4230376C1] In known electromagnetically controllable valves the valve needle consists of a tubular armature section, a tubular valve sleeve section and a valve closing member section. The armature section is linked to the first end of the valve sleeve section by means of a first solder and the valve closing member section is linked to the other end of the valve sleeve section by means of a second solder. This production process is relatively expensive and costly because of the two soldering operations required. In a new valve needle (58), a tubular actuating part (31) consisting of an armature section (36) and of a valve sleeve section (38) is produced by injection moulding followed by sintering, according to the metal injection moulding process. The actuating part (32) is then linked to a valve closing member section (46) by means of a solder, so that the valve needle (58) can thus be produced in a simple and economical manner. This valve needle is particularly suitable for injection valves in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines.
