Cylinder components [electronic resource] : Properties, applications, materials.

Piston rings -- Piston pins and piston pin circlips -- Bearings -- Connecting rod -- Crankcase and cylinder liners.

Due to the ever increasing requirements to be met by gasoline and diesel engines in terms of CO2 reduction, emission behavior, weight, and service life, a comprehensive understanding of combustion engine components is essential today. It is no longer possible for a professional in automotive engineering to manage without the corresponding know-how, whether that is in the field of design, development, testing, or maintenance. This technical book provides in-depth answers to questions about design, production, and machining of cylinder components. Content Piston rings Piston pins and piston pin circlips Bearings Connecting rods Crankcase and cylinder liners Target audience Engineers in engine development and maintenance Lecturers and students in the areas of mechanical engineering, engine technology, and vehicle construction Anyone interested in technology Publisher The MAHLE Group is one of the top 30 automotive suppliers and the globally leading manufacturer of components and systems for the internal combustion engine and its peripherals.
