The cobalt base laser cladding layers which were built up on the exhaust valve head face of the heavy loaded marine diesel engine have been investigated. The valve head with cladded face were served successfully for 3000 hours in the engine of the Dar Młodzieży. After removing from the valve head from the cylinder head the face surface were fully inspected. The surface topography and roughness were evaluated. Microstructure on the cross section of the clad layer were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS. Also microhardness of the clad layer was measured. The service conditions resulted with the formation of the scale which had different thickness and tended to cracking and spalling. The microstructure of the clad layers after service did not demonstrated serious degradation process. The decrease of the hardness numbers was observed but still clad layer presented higher hardness than steel base. This type of clad layer underwent intensive laboratory examinations which contained oxidation experiments at different temperatures and corrosion in exhaust gases, long time exposition in laboratory engine and in the end 3000 hours successfully service on the ship. After such experience laser cladding cobalt base layers may be recommended as a useful solutionfor both prolongs of the service life and a method of the regeneration of the slightly used valve heads is suitable for practical applications.

During the ship engine operation one of the key problems is the exhaust valve durability. A special interest is in valve head face because this narrow part of the valve is responsible for tightness. Cobalt base laser cladding layer on the exhaust valve head face have been investigate under real service condition using the laboratory two-stroke diesel engine L22 for two years. During this time the engine was fuelling with both ordinary light fuel and biodiesel fuel. After removing from the valve head from the cylinder head the face surface were fully inspected optically. There were no damages and the surface was shining in the great deal however some dark "spots " on it. The samples made of the used valve head underwent microstructural investigation and hardness measurements. There were no observed substantial microstructural changes neither in the surface of the layer nor in the bulk of the clad. The decrease of the hardness numbers was observed but still clad layer presented higher hardness than steel base. This type ofclad layer underwent intensive laboratory examinations which contained oxidation experiments at different temperatures and corrosion in exhaust gases and with the present service experiment this method of valve head hard facing is suitable for practical applications.
