“…This study shows a notable contribution of I4.0 technologies to PLE via improved product design, principally levied by additive manufacturing/3D printing. Past research emphasized how that technology has a strong effect on PLE and contributes to improving product performance [ 2 , 53 , 54 ] since it leads to better quality, continuous improvement allowing hyper customization and personalization [ 50 ]. Therefore, this technology is at the heart of what I4.0 brings to the sustainability of objects and the transition to a sustainable industry [ 11 , 12 ].…”

“…The additive manufacturing (AM) process provides a tool to create complex geometries, leading to the development of cylinder head and engine block designs [46]. In Al alloy design, AM may offer better creep performance over conventional manufacturing processes due to the formation of refined precipitates, control of particle distribution, and the ability to create high-volume fractions of thermally stable phases [47].…”

Diesel engines in heavy-duty vehicles are predicted to maintain a stable presence in the future due to the difficulty of electrifying heavy trucks, mine equipment, and railway cars. This trend encourages the effort to develop new aluminum alloy systems with improved performance at diesel engine conditions of elevated temperature and stress combinations to reduce vehicle weight and, consequently, CO2 emissions. Aluminum alloys need to provide adequate creep resistance at ~300 °C and room-temperature tensile properties better than the current commercial aluminum alloys used for powertrain applications. The studies for improving creep resistance for aluminum casting alloys indicate that their high-temperature stability depends on the formation of high-density uniform dispersoids with low solid solubility and low diffusivity in aluminum. This review summarizes three generations of diesel engine aluminum alloys and focuses on recent work on the third-generation dispersoid-strengthened alloys. Additionally, new trends in developing creep resistance through the development of alloy systems other than Al-Si-based alloys, the optimization of manufacturing processes, and the use of thermal barrier coatings and composites are discussed. New progress on concepts regarding the thermal stability of rapidly solidified and nano-structured alloys and on creep-resistant alloy design via machine learning-based algorithms is also presented.

“…In this regard, advanced additive manufacturing (AM) techniques can be useful. Recently, additive manufacturing technologies have gained a lot of attention and have great potential in the engine manufacturing industry [23]. The main advantage of AM over traditional manufacturing processes is the ability to freely shape complex parts without using traditional manufacturing methods such as extrusion, forging, casting and secondary machining processes [24][25][26][27].…”

Structural Performance of Additively Manufactured Cylinder Liner—A Numerical Study

Climate change is exacerbated by vehicle emissions. Furthermore, vehicle pollution contributes to respiratory and cardiopulmonary diseases, as well as lung cancer. This requires a drastic reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions for the automobile industry. To address this issue, researchers are required to reduce friction, which is one of the most important aspects of improving the efficiency of internal combustion engines. One of the most important parts of an engine that contributes to friction is the piston ring cylinder liner (PRCL) coupling. Controlling the linear deformation enhances the performance of the engine and, as a result, contributes positively to its performance. The majority of the tests to study the conformability between cylinder liner and piston were carried out on cylinder liners made of cast iron. It is possible to improve the performance of piston ring cylinder liner couplings by implementing new and advanced manufacturing techniques. In this work, a validated finite element model was used to simulate the performance when advanced manufactured materials were adapted. The deformation of the cylinder liner due to thermal and mechanical loads is simulated with five different additive manufactured materials (Inconel 625, Inconel 718, 17-4PH stainless steel, AlSi10Mg, Ti6Al4V). Simulated roundness and straightness errors, as well as maximum deformation, are compared with conventional grey cast iron liner deformation. Some additive manufactured materials, especially Ti6Al4V, show a significant reduction in deformation compared to grey cast iron, both in bore and circumferential deformation. Results show that Ti6Al4V can reduce maximum liner deformation by 36%. In addition, the roundness improved by 36%. The straightness error when Ti6Al4V was used also improved by 44% on one side, with an average of 20% over the four sides. Numerical results indicate that additive manufactured materials have the potential to reduce friction within the piston liner arrangement of internal combustion engines.
