What Materials Are Car Engines Made of?

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 cylinder block and the cylinder head of the engine require good thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, and aluminum alloys have outstanding advantages over other metal in these aspects.

 

What is the best engine block material? 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.
