    cylinder block of gasoline engine is divided into cast iron and cast aluminum two kinds. In the diesel engine, the cast iron cylinder occupies the majority. In recent years, with the rapid development of the automobile industry, cars have entered the lives of ordinary people rapidly. Meanwhile, the fuel saving performance of vehicles has been gradually taken seriously. Reducing the weight of the engine can save oil. The cast aluminum cylinder can reduce the weight of the engine.
Hangzhou aluminum castings    the aluminum castings made from Hangzhou Hongcheng Pml Precision Mechanism Ltd can be used in the automotive industry to get high strength products through the sand casting of aluminum alloy. The advantage of cast aluminum cylinder is light weight, which saves oil by reducing weight. In the same displacement engine, the use of aluminum cylinder engine can reduce the weight of about 20 kilograms. The fuel consumption can be reduced by 6% to 8% when the vehicle’s own weight is reduced by 10%. According to the latest information, the weight of foreign cars has been reduced by 20% to 26% compared with the past. From the perspective of fuel saving, the advantages of cast aluminum engines in terms of fuel saving have attracted much attention.
    during the production process, there are many differences between cast iron cylinder and cast aluminum cylinder block. The cast iron production line has large area, large environmental pollution and complex processing technology, while the production characteristics of cast aluminum cylinder are just the opposite. From the point of view of market competition, cast aluminum cylinder has certain advantages. Because of the advantages of cast aluminum cylinder, Japan’s main engine of developing aluminum cylinder block is Japan with natural resources. But most of the engines produced in China are cast iron cylinder blocks, one of the reasons is that China’s raw materials are not as scarce as Japan’s. Judging from the present situation, the price of aluminum materials is not low in the market, which weakens the advantages of the aluminum casting cylinder engine in production and processing.
