  • Engine Block Materials and Its Production Processes
    ENGINE BLOCK MATERIALS AND ITS PRODUCTION PROCESSES 2.2 THE CAST IRON MONOLITHIC BLOCK The widespread use of cast iron monolithic block is as a result of its low cost and its formidability. This type of block normally comes as the integral type where the engine cylinder and the upper crankcase are joined together as one. The iron used for this block is the gray cast iron having a pearlite-microstructure. The iron is called gray cast iron because its fracture has a gray appearance. Ferrite in the microstructure of the bore wall should be avoided because too much soft ferrite tends to cause scratching, thus increasing blow-by. The production of cast iron blocks using a steel die is rear because its lifecycle is shortened as a result of the repeated heat cycles caused by the molten iron. Sand casting is the method widely used in the production of cast iron blocks. This involves making the mould for the cast iron block with sand. The preparation of sand and the bonding are a critical and very often rate-controlling step. Permanent patterns are used to make sand molds. Usually, an automated molding machine installs the patterns and prepares many molds in the same shape. Molten metal is poured immediately into the mold, giving this process very high productivity. After solidification, the mold is destroyed and the inner sand is shaken out of the block. The sand is then reusable. The bonding of sand is done using two main methods: (i) the green sand mold and (ii) the dry sand mold.

  • Compacted Graphite Iron for Diesel Engine Cylinder Blocks
    Compacted Graphite Iron for Diesel Engine Cylinder Blocks Wilson Luiz Guesser, Dr Eng - Tupy Fundições and UDESC - Joinville, SC – Brazil – [email protected] Pedro Ventrela Duran, M Sc - Tupy Fundições - Joinville, SC – Brazil – [email protected] Walmor Krause, M Sc - Tupy Fundições - Joinville, SC – Brazil – [email protected] Abstract The recent trends in diesel engines are discussed, and also the consequences in materials selection for engine cylinder blocks. The increasing demand for higher specific power and the need for weight reduction and decrease of emissions require the use of stronger materials for cylinder blocks, opening a promising space for compacted graphite iron (CGI). The properties of CGI are described, in particular those required for engine cylinder blocks (fatigue strength and elastic modulus). Results of mechanical properties from actual castings are presented. As a result of the mechanical properties improvement, some design opportunities are suggested, in order to decrease the weight of the cylinder block. Keywords diesel engines, compacted graphite iron, cylinder blocks 1. Introduction: In a recent paper discussing CGI uses for engine cylinder blocks and heads, S. Dawson (2001) stated that “the Iron Age is just beginning” and we have taken this statement for the present paper. His point of view, added to those from Rizzo (2001), discloses the enormous CGI potential for manufacturing engine components, especially for diesel engines. The growth of diesel engines usage for passenger cars has been remarkable in Europe (see Fig. 1), especially after the introduction of the high-pressure common-rail technology (Buchholz, 2003). This growth is surrounded by requirements as: less fuel consumption, emissions reduction , larger power output and torque, and for passenger cars more compact engines are being required due to space limitations.

  • Rebuilding Your First Engine by Joe Mondello
    REBUILDING YOUR FIRST ENGINE BY JOE MONDELLO Rebuilding an engine is involved, particular steps must be taken and confidence in the professionalism of your machinist is most important. The first thing is to research the exact cubic inch displacement, year, and type of engine that is in your car. Our technical reference manual will be a great help to you when rebuilding your engine. Always take photos of the engine and engine compartment. Pay special attention to brackets, accessory head bolts, wire looms, AC hoses, belts and special headed or stud type-mounting bolts. Before starting to remove your engine, cover the fenders, front grill and sheet metal with good fender covers or heavy blankets. Then disconnect the battery, fuel lines and drain all the fluids. You should remove the radiator first remembering to disconnect radiator hoses and transmission oil cooler lines to eliminate a big mess of dripping transmission fluid. The carburetor and distributor should then be removed. Connect a chain, engine cradle stop or carburetor plate adapter to engine and prepare to remove the engine. Disconnect engine and transmission mounts and remove the hood. Scribe or use a marking pen around the mounting brackets so hood replacement will be easier. Sometimes the removal of the rear transmission crossover-mounting bar will allow more of a tilt for easier engine and transmission removal. Always block the rear wheels so the car cannot move fore and aft. Always make sure your engine hoist and removing device is securely bolted down and is tight. If you have a 4-speed car, disconnect the clutch cross shaft and all the linkage.

During a typical morning commute more pollution is created by vehicles idling in driveways than driving on roadways. Block heaters reduce these emissions by warming engine compo- nents, allowing emission controls to work sooner. Vehicle emissions testing performed in Anchorage and Fairbanks proved that block heater use substantially reduces carbon monoxide (CO) and other pollu- tion from cold engines.

  • A Numerical Investigation of a Two-Stroke Poppet-Valved Diesel Engine Concept
    A NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF A TWO-STROKE POPPET-VALVED DIESEL ENGINE CONCEPT Philip Robert Teakle BE MEngSc Tribology and Materials Technology Group Mechanical, Manufacturing and Medical Engineering Queensland University of Technology Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2004 v Keywords Two-stroke, poppet valves, KIVA, thermodynamic modelling, zero-dimensional modelling, multidimensional modelling, engine modelling, scavenging models, scavenging simulations. Executive Summary Two-stroke poppet-valved engines may combine the high power density of two - stroke engines and the low emissions of poppet-valved engines. A two-stroke diesel engine can generate the same power as a four-stroke engine of the same size, but at higher (leaner) air/fuel ratios. Diesel combustion at high air/fuel ratios generally means hydrocarbons, soot and carbon monoxide are oxidised more completely to water and carbon dioxide in the cylinder, and the opportunity to increase the rate of exhaust gas recirculation should reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The concept is being explored as a means of economically modifying diesel engines to make them cleaner and/or more powerful. This study details the application of two computational models to this problem. The first model is a relatively simple thermodynamic model created by the author capable of rapidly estimating the behaviour of entire engine systems. It was used to estimate near-optimum engine system parameters at single engine operating points and over a six-mode engine cycle. The second model is a detailed CFD model called KIVA- ERC. It is a hybrid of the KIVA engine modelling package developed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and combustion and emissions subroutines developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Engine Research Center.

  • The Dilemma Between Aluminum and Cast Iron
    energies Article Life-Cycle and Energy Assessment of Automotive Component Manufacturing: The Dilemma Between Aluminum and Cast Iron Konstantinos Salonitis , Mark Jolly * , Emanuele Pagone and Michail Papanikolaou Manufacturing Theme, Cranfield University, Cranfield, Bedford, MK43 0AL, UK * Correspondence: m.r.jolly@cranfield.ac.uk; Tel.: +44 (0)1234 758347 Received: 6 June 2019; Accepted: 30 June 2019; Published: 3 July 2019 Abstract: Considering the manufacturing of automotive components, there exists a dilemma around the substitution of traditional cast iron (CI) with lighter metals. Currently, aluminum alloys, being lighter compared to traditional materials, are considered as a more environmentally friendly solution. However, the energy required for the extraction of the primary materials and manufacturing of components is usually not taken into account in this debate. In this study, an extensive literature review was performed to estimate the overall energy required for the manufacturing of an engine cylinder block using (a) cast iron and (b) aluminum alloys. Moreover, data from over 100 automotive companies, ranging from mining companies to consultancy firms, were collected in order to support the soundness of this investigation. The environmental impact of the manufacturing of engine blocks made of these materials is presented with respect to the energy burden; the “cradle-to-grave approach” was implemented to take into account the energy input of each stage of the component life cycle starting from the resource extraction and reaching to the end-of-life processing stage. Our results indicate that, although aluminum components contribute toward reduced fuel consumption during their use phase, the vehicle distance needed to be covered in order to compensate for the up-front energy consumption related to the primary material production and manufacturing phases is very high.
