Evolution of Residual Stress Through The Processing Stages in Manufacturing of Bore-Chilled Sand-Cast Aluminum Engine Blocks With Pressed-In Iron Liners

The cumulative global emissions produced by the automotive industry over the last decade has put a tremendous strain on the environment. Consequently, automotive engineers and manufacturers have been forced to improve the efficiencies of their automobiles which is frequently accomplished by increasing the operating pressure, and therefore temperature, of the combustion engine. Unfortunately, in addition to the rise in operational pressures and …
