It focuses on reciprocating engines, both four and two stroke, with particular emphasis on their characteristics and the types of materials used in their construction. The book considers the engine in terms of each specific part: the cylinder, piston, camshaft, valves, crankshaft, connecting rod and catalytic converter. The materials used in automotive engines are required to fulfil a multitude of functions. It is a subtle balance between material properties, essential design and high performance characteristics. The science and technology of materials in automotive engines describes the metallurgy, chemical composition, manufacturing, heat treatment and surface modification of these materials. It also includes supplementary notes that support the core text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is essential reading for engineers and designers of engines, as well as lecturers and graduate students in the fields of automotive engineering, machine design and materials science looking for a concise, expert analysis of automotive materials.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Engines\u003cbr\u003e The piston\u003cbr\u003e The piston ring\u003cbr\u003e The cylinder\u003cbr\u003e The camshaft\u003cbr\u003e The valve and valve seat\u003cbr\u003e The valve spring\u003cbr\u003e The crankshaft\u003cbr\u003e Connecting rod\u003cbr\u003e The catalyst\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 2\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of technical terms.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Automotive technology \u0026amp; trades [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Automotive technology \u0026amp; trades\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Automotive%20technology%20\u0026amp;%20trades%20%5BTRC%5D%22\"\u003eTRC\u003c\/a\u003e], Materials science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Materials science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Materials%20science%20%5BTGM%5D%22\"\u003eTGM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Woodhead Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651769487640,"sku":"9781855737426","price":116.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781855737426.jpg?v=1695016705","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-science-and-technology-of-materials-in-automotive-engines-hardback-9781855737426","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
