Summary:

There has been and continues to be a growing trend in world engines towards the use of Bi-Metallic' constructions, ie. engines which feature head and block castings of different materials. The use of aluminium cylinder heads with cast iron cylinder blocks is a typical arrangement.Figure 1 indicates some of the significant differences in the physical properties of cast iron and aluminium. As can be seen, aluminium offers a number of advantages from an engine design viewpoint, notably weight saving and heat transfer efficiency.The use of aluminium can, however, result in a number of potential difficulties in terms of its effect on cylinder head gasket performance.This paper considers these difficulties with particular reference to fluid sealing'
