Alusil
Alusil as a hypereutectic aluminium-silicon alloy (EN AC-AlSi17Cu4Mg / EN AC-48100 or A390) contains approximately 78% aluminium and 17% silicon. This alloy was theoretically conceived in 1927 by Schweizer & Fehrenbach, of Badener Metall-Waren-Fabrik, but practically created only by Lancia in the same year, for its car engines. It was further developed by Reynolds, now Rheinmetall Automotive. In the United States, Chevrolet was the first to use Reynolds A390 in the Chevrolet Vega. The Alusil aluminium alloy is commonly used to make linerless aluminium alloy engine blocks. There is no coating applied to the cylinder bore and blocks are not honed conventionally. During the manufacturing process, a chemical or mechanical process is used to remove aluminum from the surface of the cylinder bore, exposing a very hard silicon precipitate. These exposed silicon particles, which under a microscope look like small islands, allow for oil to collect in the area surrounding them, thus form ...

List Of Discontinued Volkswagen Group Petrol Engines
The spark-ignition petrol (gasoline) engines listed below were formerly used in various marques of automobiles and commercial vehicles of the German automotive business Volkswagen Group ETKA official factory data and also in Volkswagen Industrial Motor applications, but are now discontinued. All listed engines operate on the four-stroke cycle, and, unless stated otherwise, use a wet sump lubrication system and are water-cooled. Since the Volkswagen Group is European, official internal combustion engine performance ratings are published using the International System of Units (commonly abbreviated ''SI''), a modern form of the metric system of figures. Motor vehicle engines will have been tested by a testing facility accredited by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), to either the original '' 80/1269/ EEC'', or the later ''1999/99/ EC'' standards. The standard unit of measure for expressing the rated motive power output is the kilowatt (kW); and in their official literature ...

BMW M62
BMW M62 is a naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine which was produced from 1995 to 2005. A successor to the BMW M60, the M62 features an aluminium engine block and a single row timing chain. In 1998, a technical update included VANOS (variable valve timing) for the intake camshafts. A BMW M high performance version of the M62, called the S62 engine, was fitted to BMW's E39 M5 and BMW Z8, and both the Ascari KZ1 and Ascari A10. Design Like the BMW M60 engine it replaced, the M62 is a DOHC engine with four valves per cylinder, an aluminum block and aluminum heads. The M62 has fracture-split forged connecting rods, hypereutectic pistons with ferrous coated side skirts. Most of the M62 engines used Alusil for the block material, however some early M62 engines used Nikasil cylinder coating instead. Alusil technology integrates silicon throughout the aluminum cast so that liners or treated bores within this block family are not needed. The M62 uses a Bosch Motronic 5.2 engin ...

Nikasil
Nikasil is a trademarked electrodeposited lipophilic nickel matrix silicon carbide coating for engine components, mainly piston engine cylinder liners. Development Nikasil was introduced by Mahle in 1967 and was initially developed to allow Wankel engine apex seals to work directly against the aluminum block. This coating allowed aluminum cylinders and pistons to work directly against each other with low wear and friction. Unlike other methods, including cast iron cylinder liners, Nikasil allowed very large cylinder bores with tight tolerances. This made it possible for existing engine designs to be expanded easily. The aluminum cylinders also gave a much better heat conductivity and lower friction than cast iron liners, an important attribute for a high-output engine. The coating was further developed as a replacement for hard-chrome plated cylinder bores for Mercury Marine Racing, and Kohler Engines, and as a repair replacement for factory-chromed snowmobiles, dirt bik ...

BMW N52
The BMW N52 is a Naturally aspirated engine, naturally aspirated Straight-six engine, straight-6 petrol engine which was produced from 2004 to 2015. The N52 replaced the BMW M54 and debuted on the BMW 3 Series (E90), E90 3 Series and BMW 6 Series (E63), E63 6 Series. The N52 was the first water-cooled engine to use magnesium/aluminium composite construction in the engine block. It was also listed as one of Ward's 10 Best Engines in 2006 and 2007. In European markets, the N52 began to be phased out in favor of its direct injected version, the BMW N53 in 2007. Markets such as the United States, Canada, Australia and Malaysia retained the N52 as the N53 was deemed unsuitable due to the high sulphur content of local fuel. The engine is equipped with a dual overhead cam 24 valve cylinder head and the crankshaft is held in place with 36 main bearing cap bolts. The static compression ratio is 12.5:1 advertised, requiring the use of 100 RON (94 AKI) fuel. The N52 and N53 are the l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

BMW N63
The BMW N63 is a twin-turbocharged petrol V8 engine which has been in production from 2008 to present. The N63 is the world's first production car engine to use a "hot-vee" layout, with the turbochargers located inside the "V" of the engine. It is also BMW's first turbocharged petrol V8 engine. The engine has been widely noted for its mechanical issues, undergoing several recalls. The N63 replaced the BMW N62 (a naturally aspirated V8 engine) and was first used in the 2008 X6 xDrive50i. The S63 engine is the BMW M high-performance version of the N63. Alpina versions of the N63 are used in various F01 7 Series, F10 5 Series, G11 7 Series, G15 8 Series and G30 5 Series models. Design The airflow path through the engine uses a "hot-vee" layout, where the exhaust manifolds and turbochargers are located between the cylinder banks (on the "inside" of the V8) and the intake manifolds are located on the outside of the engine. This is opposite to the traditional layout for a V8 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
