    This is the BMW N52 engine block. It is made from a combination of magnesium and aluminum. It has an aluminum inner block witch contains the cylinders, water cooling and the main bearings, and the outer shell made of magnesium.

      They have improved the process. Used to cast thy he cylinder wall as a single solid block and drop in in a mould then inject mold the magnesium casing around it with the R1 magnesium alloy.

    • @Spelter
      @Spelter 2 роки тому +1

      Aluminium is a way better heat transporter than iron and it's not twisting itself like steel engines do.
      If you look into your PC, there is an Aluminium CPU cooler, no Copper. Aluminium is a great heat trap, so ideal for engines.

      @StarPortable Рік тому +1

      ​@@peterlonter9053 I know it's a year later, but I worked in a foundry briefly and it's one of my favorite things to talk about. These sand molds use resin sand, which is sand mixed with glue, essentially. Sand has a higher melting point than aluminum, so it doesn't get destroyed during the pouring. The resin just smokes off. They don't save the sand in-between castings. The sand is probably shaken or blown off somewhere in this process. A new sand mold is made for each engine.

      The jobs given to the robotic arms would be dangerous for a human operator. Lifting a 500 degree casting that weighs 100 pounds over and over and over all day would ruin a person, then the company would have to pay your workmans comp and possibly a settlement. It's just way better to have robots. They do break down and need repairs a lot so there are still jobs we can do that they need to operate.

      @@rq9924 well it was, and that's the problem. It's cheaper to buy robots than have some guy ruin himself doing that job. Safety is paramount, and if we can automate dangerous jobs, less people get hurt and those costs aren't passed onto the consumer. Your point is escaping me, I don't see why you would risk a human life over a minimum wage position.
