Abstract Refractory coatings based on different refractory fillers (talc, cordierite, zircon and mullite) for application in Lost Foam casting process were investigated. Design and optimization of the coatings composition with controlled, rheological properties included, and consequently synthesis were achieved by application of different coating components, namely different suspension agents and fillers and by alteration of the coating production procedure. Morphologic and microstructural analysis of fillers was carried out by means of scanning electronic microscope. X-ray diffraction analysis by means of X-ray diffractometer was applied in determination and monitoring the phase composition changes of the refractory fillers. An analysis of the particle size and shape was carried out by means of the PC software application package OZARIA 2.5. To assess the effects of application of individual refractory coatings, a detailed investigation of structural and mechanical properties of the moldings obtained was performed. Highlight was placed on revealing and analyzing surface and volume defects present on moldings. Radiographic molding tests were carried out by means of the X-ray device SAIFORT type-S200. Attained results are essential for the synthesis of refractory coatings based on high-temperature fillers and their applications in Lost Foam casting process for manufacturing of moldings with in-advance-set properties.

Fretting fatigue becomes a typical failure mode for engine cylinder block caused by the increasing of the gas pressure and rotating speed, but the mechanism of fretting fatigue under diesel engine load condition hasn’t been systematic studied. In this paper, the fretting behaviors are mainly discussed by using fretting friction work parameter W and crack initiation location parameter G.

The three dimensional model of a 2-cylinder diesel engine block is established with the P ro/E software, and then the modal analysis of the engine block is carried out using finite element method with ANSYS software . Through the analysis, the inherent frequencies and mode shapes of the first 6 order modes are obtained respectively, and then are compared with the testing result; comparison shows the results of FEA estimation are in good agreement with those of testing which indicates the FEA results’ correctness. The results of the relative distribution of the vibration magnitude in the whole block are given, which provide necessary guides for the dynamic optimal design of the engine block.

This paper presents a failure analysis on a modern high performance diesel engine cylinder head made of gray cast iron. Cracks appeared intensively at the intersection of two exhaust passages in the cylinder head. The metallurgical examination was conducted in the crack origin zone and other zones. Meanwhile, the load state of the failure part of the cylinder head was determined through the Finite Element Analysis. The results showed that both the point of the maximum temperature and the point of the maximum thermal-mechanical coupling stress were not in the crack position. The excessive load was not the main cause of the failure. The large cooling rate in the casting process created an abnormal graphite zone that existed below the surface of the exhaust passage (about 1.1 mm depth), which led to the fracture of the cylinder head. In the fractured area, there were a large number of casting defects (dip sand, voids, etc.) and inferior graphite structure (type D, type E) which caused stress concentration. Moreover, high temperature gas entered the cracks, which caused material corrosion, material oxidization, and crack propagation. Finally, premature fracture of the cylinder head took place.
