The reduction of car weight and fuel consumption is the strongest driving force for development and innovation in the automotive industry. A significant reduction of weight can be achieved by producing cylinder liners in Al matrix composite (Al-Al2O3), employing the centrifugal casting technique. The wear resistance of this composite material, under proper working conditions, is higher than that of cast iron, which is commonly used for the production of liners. The aim of this work is to analyse centrifugal casting process parameters in order to optimise the reinforcement distribution at the inner surface of the liner.

Abstract
The reduction of car weight and fuel consumption is the strongest driving force for development and innovation in the automotive industry. A significant reduction of weight can be achieved by producing cylinder liners in Al matrix composite (Al-Al2O3), employing the centrifugal casting technique. The wear resistance of this composite material, under proper working conditions, is higher than that of cast iron, which is commonly used for the production of liners. The aim of this work is to analyse centrifugal casting process parameters in order to optimise the reinforcement distribution at the inner surface of the liner.File in questo prodotto:
