Compacted Graphite Iron - A Material Solution for Modern Diesel Engine Cylinder Blocks and Heads

摘要

The improved mechanical properties of Compacted Graphite Iron relative to grey iron and aluminium provide many contributions to the design and performance of internal combustion engines for passenger and commercial vehicles. Since 1999, series production experience has established CGI as a viable high volume engine material. Perhaps the most compelling statistic regarding CGI cylinder blocks is that no OEM has only one CGI cylinder block in its line-up. Without exception, every OEM that has launched the production of a CGI engine has also proceeded to develop, approve or launch additional CGI engines.
