Aluminum alloy is widely known for its lightweight feature, its application in car engine parts can generally reduce the weight of automobile engines by more than 30%. In addition, both the car cylinder lower block and the cylinder head cover of the engine require good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, and aluminum alloys have outstanding advantages over other metal in these aspects.
Steel is one of the most often used materials in the production of automobiles since it is robust, affordable, easily accessible, and simple to work with when forming into auto components like engines, wheels, brakes, and chassis.
Aluminum is a robust, corrosion-resistant metal that is lightweight. It is not as economical as steel, but because it is more flexible, efficiency is increased.
Cars employ a variety of different metals. Brass and bronze are comparable, but bronze is softer. Bronze and brass are comparable, although brass is a little tougher. Copper is even softer than bronze and brass. Lastly, iron resembles steel but is far heavier.
What kind of metal is used to make automobile bodies?
A combination of two or more metals is called a metal alloy. Copper and zinc are two examples. Zinc is a cheap metal that’s easily mined, while copper is a very expensive metal. By mixing them, you get a material that’s inexpensive and strong at the same time.
Metal alloys are used in many automobile components such as exhaust manifolds, fuel injectors, spark plugs, pistons, valves, valve springs, engine blocks, and heads. These materials help reduce friction between moving parts and improve heat transfer from hot gases inside an internal combustion engine. They also enhance the durability and longevity of an engine component.
The aluminum alloy commonly used in die casting engine parts are: American standard A380 / A360 / A356, German standard AlSi9Cu3, AlSi10Mg (Fe), European standard ENAC-43400, ENAC-46400, Japanese standard ADC12, ADC10 etc. Aluminum is widely used in the passenger and commercial vehicle industries due to its inherent properties and qualities. Why?Aluminum is a lightweight material above all else. It can significantly increase performance and fuel efficiency when installed in cars. In addition, aluminum is robust. Aluminum's strength-to-weight ratio makes it extremely valuable in the transportation sector. Improvements in vehicle performance do not come at the expense of safety; thanks to its high strength and low weight, it is safer for both passengers and divers.
