ABSTRACT:
A rocker arm for a valve train of an internal combustion engine has a cam travel surface for a cam support, a recess for a hydraulic valve-play adjusting element and a rocker arm shaft located therebetween. The rocker arm consists of higher-strength chilled cast iron in a first area around the cam travel area, that has a greater hardness than the second and third areas around the rocker arm shaft, which are composed of nodular cast iron, and around the cylindrical recess that is cast into the rocker arm.
