Through the efforts of organizations like the Royal Aircraft Factory/Establishment and the valve manufacturers, better materials were adopted, but these were simple modifications of alloys which were in use. It was only after the Second World War that materials were specifically developed for exhaust valves. Even this was probably more a result of the shortage of nickel. The other materials just happened to be in the right place at the right time, the classic example being Nichrome, originally developed for electric toasters. Even today, the factors which cause valves and seats to fail are still not properly understood at a fundamental level.
