Patent ID: 10145347

Abstract:
To obtain a fuel rail that maintains low hardness and good formability before being formed into a tube stock, can be made to easily form a thin absorbing wall surface, and has a high hardness and pressure resistance so as to be usable not only at a fuel pressure of 400 kPa or less, but also at a relatively high fuel pressure of 400 kPa or more. A fuel rail for port injection that is provided with a fuel pressure absorbing wall surface 1 and is used at a fuel pressure of 200 kPa to 1400 kPa. The fuel rail comprises an iron alloy that includes chemical components of C, Si, Mn, P, S, Nb, and Mo. The fuel rail has an internal volume of at least 60 cc and an amount of change in internal volume, when pressure is applied, of at least 0.5 cc/MPa. A bainitic structure can be precipitated by brazing the fuel rail in a furnace during manufacturing.
