Content
Gray cast iron as an automotive cylinder block material is discussed in this paper. The advantages of this material over aluminum are detailed in terms of cost, wear resistance, strain-stress tolerance, castability, corrosion resistance in aqueous coolant systems, damping characteristics, and commercial considerations. The future of gray iron for cylinder blocks is also reviewed.
