- Abstract
- The reduction of the weight of the engine of a vessel or an automobile can result in improved engine efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. Therefore, this study was conducted to improve the mechanical properties of the AC4CH alloy, an alternative to cast iron for engine fabrication, through the addition of Si and Mg to aluminum. The mechanical properties of the alloy were improved through refinement of the Si structure, grain refinement, and heat treatment. In addition, the applicability of a cylinder block fabricated with the modified AC4CH alloy to a diesel engine was validated through a 300 h durability test. © 2020 by the authors.
