Description

This authoritative book provides an introductory text on the science and technology of materials used in automotive engines. It focuses on reciprocating engines, both four and two-stroke, with particular emphasis on their characteristics and the types of materials used in their construction. The book considers the engine in terms of each specific part: the cylinder, piston, camshaft, valves, crankshaft, connecting rod and catalytic converter. The materials used in automotive engines are required to fulfill a multitude of functions. It is a subtle balance between material properties, essential design and high performance characteristics. The intention here is to describe the metallurgy, surface modification, wear resistance, and chemical composition of these materials. It also includes supplementary notes that support the core text. The book is essential reading for engineers and designers of engines, as well as lecturers and graduate students in the fields of combustion engineering, machine design and materials science looking for a concise, expert analysis of automotive materials. Key Features: provides a detailed introduction to the nature of materials used in automotive engines; essential reading for engineers, designers, lecturers and students in automotive engineering; written by a renowned expert in the field. Contents: Preface; Engines; The piston; The piston ring; The cylinder; The camshaft; The valve and valve seat; The valve spring; The crankshaft; Connecting rod; The catalyst; Appendix 1; Appendix 2; Glossary of technical terms.
