What is the difference between aluminum alloy and cast iron cylinder blocks?
1 Answers
The differences between aluminum alloy and cast iron cylinder blocks are: 1. Gravity: Cast iron: Good high-temperature resistance and less prone to deformation. Cast iron engines are easier to repair and have lower costs when worn out; Aluminum alloy: Lightweight and fast heat dissipation. Lightweight aluminum alloy engines can effectively reduce the engine's own weight, achieving relatively better fuel efficiency. 2. Material: The materials used for engines are mainly divided into two types nowadays. One is aluminum alloy, and the other is cast iron. 3. Heat dissipation: Aluminum alloy has excellent heat dissipation performance, which is incomparable to cast iron.
