본 논문에서는 주철 라이너를 삽입한 알루미늄 블럭 엔진 개발과정에서 주조 불량이 발생하였을때, 냉각계에 일어나는 제반 현상을 분석하고, 이를 해결해 나가는 과정을 기술하였다. 이를 위하여 주철 블럭과 알루미늄 블럭을 장착한 엔진의 피스톤 온도와 블럭의 열유속, 열정산을 측정하였다. 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 알루미늄 블럭 제작시 주철 라이너와 알루미늄 블럭 사이에 공기층이 크거나, 용탕 충진이 불완전한 주조 불량이 발생하면 열접촉 저항이 커져 엔진 열전달 경로에 큰 영향을 준다. 2. 알루미늄 블럭 제작시 주조 불량이 발생하면 피스톤에서 라이너로의 전열량이 줄어듦에 따라 냉각수로의 전열량은 감소하는데, 6,000rpm, 전부하에서 알루미늄 블럭의 출력 대비 냉각수로의 방열량의 비는 38.3%이고, 주철 블럭은 44.1%이다. 3. 알루미늄 블럭 제작시 주조 불량이 발생하면, 피스톤 온도가 15-20.deg.C 정도 상승하여 피스톤 손상을 유발시킬 수 있다. 4. 알루미늄 블럭의 주조가 완벽하게 되어 주철 라이너와 알루미늄 몸체 사이에서의 열접촉저항이 없어지면, 스토로크 방향에 따른 금속면 온도 분포가 균일하게 된다. 5. 실린더 라이너의 주조상태 개선없이 오일젯을 사용한 결과 피스톤의 온도를 만족할 만한 수준으로 감소시켰다. 6. 6000rpm, 전부하에서 오일젯 적용시 출력 대비 냉각수로의 방열량의 비가 38.3%에서 36.2%로 감소하고, 출력대비 오일로의 방열량의 비는 9.6%에서 11.2%로 증가한다. 7. 오일젯 작용시 오일 펌프의 용량 증대와 오일 쿨러의 장착이 필수적이다.

The goal of this research is to confirm reliable durability and evaluate the engine performance of the current aluminum alloy piston and the newly developed steel forging piston. For such purpose, the test environment was built with 2.91 target engine mounted on the engine dynamometer and additional exhaust gas analysis system. Using the test environment, engine performance test was conducted, and durability test was also conducted using a dedicated piston durability test equipment for 400,000 km. As a result of the experiment, similar durability was appeared for both aluminum piston and steel piston, and the engine output power and torque are slightly reduced because of $158\%$ heavier weight of the steel piston compare to the aluminum alloy piston.

Powder Forging technology is being developed rapidly because of its economic merits and the possibility of lightening parts by replacing steel parts with aluminum ones especially in automotive parts manufacturing. Recently Powder Forging process is widely used for manufacturing primary mechanical parts as a combined technology of P/M and precision hot forging. This paper describes the process conditions for the powder forging of Aluminium alloy piston. For example powder alloy design preform design by FEM simulation cold of compaction of specimens and preform sintering of preform powder forging process. The characteristics of sintered compaction of specimens and preform sintering of preform powder forging process. The characteristics of sintered products and final forged piston ones are investigated with tensile strength hardness ductility and so on. Eventually its results prove the improve mechanical properties of the piston produced by powder forging.

It is important not only to reduce the casting defects of piston but also to improvement in the mechanical properties(hardness) of piston for the air compressor. The blow hole is typical casting defects in the conventional cast of aluminium alloy(AC8A-T6) piston. Because of the heat treatment method, mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy for piston was decided on the heat treatment method and cycle. Therefore, we tested on the development of mechanical properties and on the casting defects of piston for the air compressor in accordance with the heat treatment and casting condition. After the heat treatment and casting was carried out as several times, and was compared with the imported piston. As a result of several investigations; microstructure, hardness and casting defects of piston was changed under the influence of the heat treatment and casting method. When the cooling rate was controlled and the uni-cast method used, it bas the same mechanical properties and microstructure.

In this study aluminum casting experiments are carried out to reduce the grain size of a cast preform and to spheriodize its dendritic structure by adding Ti+B and Zr and to modify flaked eutectic silicon by adding Sr, And a finite element simulation is performed to determine an optimal configuration of the cast preform to be used in forging of a compressor piston for an automobile air-conditioner. When 0.15% Ti+B Zr and 0.05% Sr are added respectively into the molten aluminum alloy the finest grain in casting of the preform is obtained. It is confirmed that the optimal configuration of the cast preform predicted by FEM simulation is very useful for forging the compressor piston. After forging the cast preform of the compressor piston. the microstructure and the hardness of the cast preform is compared with those of the cast/forged product.

The purpose of this paper is to compare the forging effects according th the shape of preforms of cup shaped powder forging product, and extend the application of powder forging technology to more complicated cup-shaped products like pistons. In order to this, preforms are provided by compacting, sintering, and machining in various shapes, then forged to final shape of products. The workability for sintered aluminium powder material is examined. Density and strain loci of forged products are compared, and the most effective shape of preform is proposed. The preform for a piston of 50mm in diameter is provided and hot forged to final product.
