The cylinder block is an important part of the inner turbine, which is used to accommodate the high-pressure gas generated by the upward movement of the piston, and is also an important part of the engine combustion chamber. Therefore, the cylinder block is a very key component for the internal combustion engine.
The manufacturing materials of the cylinder block are usually cast iron, cast steel, aluminum alloy, etc., and the manufacturing process is casting, forging, etc. Different manufacturing materials and processes will directly affect the strength, wear resistance, heat dissipation and other performance indicators of the cylinder block.
From the structural point of view, the cylinder block is usually composed of the cylinder body, the valve mechanism hole, the crankcase exhaust hole, and the lubricating oil threshold. The cylinder block is responsible for holding the high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated by the piston in the process of movement, and through the sealing of components such as the crankcase and cylinder head, the gas is effectively converted into power to push the vehicle forward.
In modern internal combustion engines, the number of cylinders is usually designed according to the needs of the car. The most common car engines come in different combinations of 4, 6, and 8 cylinders. Each cylinder has a combustion chamber, in which a certain amount of fuel and air is injected, and after ignition, combustion produces high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which pushes the piston movement. The quality of the cylinder block will directly affect the performance of the engine.
Compared with other automotive engine-related components, the cylinder block rarely fails, but if the cylinder block is broken or fails, the entire engine is often replaced, resulting in greater economic losses. Therefore, during the use of the engine, the maintenance and maintenance of the cylinder block is also very important.
