Abstract

Rising specific output in the wake of having to compensate for downsizing-related power losses and the ongoing optimization of diesel-engine combustion processes are trends that call for high-duty cylinder heads in terms of both thermal and mechanical loads. Lightweight cylinder heads for direct-injection car diesel engines represent a particular challenge with respect to the aluminum alloys and casting technique employed. KS Aluminium-Technologie sees one possible approach in new casting technologies.
