182 Cylinder liner for combustion engines and manufacturing method US09829610 2001-04-10 US06354259B2 2002-03-12 Manfŕed Fischer; Rudólf Mundl; Peter Gödel; Wolfgang Reichle; Werner Trübenbach; Markus Müller; Reinhard Rosert
A method for the manufacture of a cylinder liner for combustion engines and a cylinder liner which can be manufactured by the method according to the invention are disclosed. The method comprises a thermal spray-deposition, such as by an arc spray-deposition process, of a wearing layer on a supporting body and a spray-deposition of a protective or connecting layer on the wearing layer. The wearing layer comprises a hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloy and the protective or connecting layer comprises a hypoeutectic aluminum-silicon alloy. A melt retarder of iron, for example, may be interposed between these two layers. The melt retarder comprises a higher melting temperature than the two aluminum-silicon alloys, thereby preventing the wearing layer from partially melting when the cylinder liner is cast into a cylinder bore.
183 Motor block as well as casting mold and casting method for the manufacture thereof US09358143 1999-07-20 US06205959B1 2001-03-27 Herbert Smetan; Klaus Lellig
In an engine block having cylinder cavities arranged close together, a cooling duct is produced in an intermediate wall between the cylinders by pouring the casting material around a mold core made preferably from a material that is soluble in a liquid, combustible and/or brittle, so that the mold core can easily be removed from the duct once the casting has solidified. In the casting mold, the duct mold core is secured solely at its ends so that a cooling duct is formed that is bordered exclusively by a skin of casting material.
184 Crankcase for an internal-combustion engine US09265959 1999-03-11 US06192852B1 2001-02-27 Ingo Gerhards; Juergen Lang; Klaus Schnarrenberger

185 Cylinder liner of a hypereutectic aluminum/silicon alloy for use in a crankcase of a reciprocating piston engine and process for producing such a cylinder liner US967944 1997-11-12 US6096143A 2000-08-01 Franz Ruckert; Peter Stocker; Roland Biedermann; Roland Rieger
A cylinder liner cast into a reciprocating piston engine made of a supereutectic aluminum/silicon alloy which is free of mixed-in particles of hard material and which is composed in such a way that fine silicon primary crystals and intermetallic particles automatically form from the melt as hard particles. A blank is allowed to grow from finely sprayed melt droplets by spray compaction, with a fine distribution of hard particles being produced by setting the spray for small melt droplets. The blank can then be formed by cold extrusion to create a shape approximating the cylinder lining. After premachining, the surface is fine machined, honed in at least one stage and then the hard particles lying at the surface are mechanically or chemically exposed, forming plateau areas of hard particles which project above the remaining surface of the base microstructure of the alloy. The mechanical exposure of the primary crystals or particles is carried out by a honing process using felt strips which are cylindrically shaped on the outside and a slurry of SiC particles in honing oil. The chemical exposure of the primary crystals or particles is carried out by using aqueous alkali. The fine-grained, hard particles formed from the melt and also the mechanical exposure of the hard particles on the surface of the cylinder results not only in high wear resistance and high contact area of the surface, but also in gentle treatment of the piston and its rings.
186 Method of casting an engine block of aluminum US859884 1997-05-21 US5931213A 1999-08-03 Azita Khalili; Herbert Smetan

187 Cylinder liner of a hypereutectic aluminum/silicon alloy for casting into a crankcase of a reciprocating piston engine and process for producing such a cylinder liner US790939 1997-01-29 US5891273A 1999-04-06 Franz Ruckert; Peter Stocker; Roland Rieger
The invention relates to a cylinder liner, cast into a reciprocating piston engine, of a highly hypereutectic aluminum/silicon alloy which is free of hard material particles independent of the melt and has such a composition that fine primary silicon crystals and intermetallic phases automatically form from the melt as hard particles. By spray-compacting, a blank of finely sprayed melt droplets is caused to grow, a fine distribution of the hard particles being produced by controlled introduction of small melt droplets. The blank can be transformed by an extrusion step into a form approximating the cylinder liner. After subsequent premachining with chip removal, the running surface is precision-machined and subsequently honed in at least one stage, after which the hard particles located in the running surface are exposed, plateau faces of the particles being formed, which faces protrude from the remaining surface of the matrix structure of the alloy. The exposing of the primary crystals and/or particles is effected chemically, using aqueous alkali. Owing to the fine-grained hard particles formed in the melt and to their large proportion in the matrix structure and owing to the exposing of the hard particles in the matrix structure, not only high wear resistance and a high load bearing proportion of the running surface result, but also the possibility of using inexpensive piston ring fittings and piston coatings with, at the same time, low oil consumption and correspondingly low hydrocarbon emissions.
