Abstract:
A rotary valve with increased resistance to degradation that can include, a manifold with multiple flow paths, a rotary actuator rotatably mounted within the valve, and a valve seat that is fixedly attached to the manifold, with an end (or component) of the rotary actuator made from silicon carbide diamond (ScD) and the end having a first surface. The valve seat can have a second surface that sealingly engages the first surface. Manufacturing a rotary valve can include combining diamond particles in a press with silicon and applying temperature and pressure to produce a piece of ScD. Interposing a compound between the piece and a structure and brazing them by heating the compound between 700-1200 degrees Celsius. Forming ports and flow paths in the piece by machining the piece with an Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) tool.

Claim (Index 25):
The rotary valve according to  claim 17 , wherein the first component and/or the valve seat comprises a monolithic piece of ScD composite.
