HELLO FRIENDS, Previous article we have discuss parts of engine crankcase, cylinder liner and piston introduction. In this article we have discuss material of piston and piston clearance. So…..lets start,😊 Material for piston : The material used for piston is mainly aluminium alloy. Aluminium piston can be either cast or forged. Cast iron is also used for piston. Yearly cast iron was almost universal material for piston because it's excellent wearing qualities, co-efficient of expansion and general suitability in manufacture. Due to reduce of weight of metal is necessary, light metal is lost. Aluminium is inferior to cast iron in strength and wearing qualities, and it's greater co-efficient of expansion greater clearance in the cylinder to avoid the risk of seizures. The thermal heat conductivity of aluminium is about three times that of cast iron and this combined with greater thickness necessary for strength, enable an aluminium alloy piston to run at
HELLO FRIENDS, Previous article we have discuss parts of cylinder block, cylinder head and this article we have discuss crankcase and cylinder liner and piston introduction. So…..lets start,😊 3. Crankcase: Crankcase is attached to the bottom face of the cylinder block. Crankcase is base on the engine. It is supported the crankshaft and camshaft in suitable bearings and provided the arm for supporting the engine on the frame. The oil pan and the lower part of cylinder block together are called the crankcase. Sometimes you are thinking about oil pan, so I can explain this oil pan is bottom half of the crankcase is called oil pan show in figure. it is bolted or screwed to the lower flange of the main casting are usually made of pressed steel and aluminum. In the crankcase cylinder block and upper half of the crankcase usually are cast as single integral unit. This casting is usually made of a ferrous alloy or semi-steel provide to stronger and hard
