The science and technology of materials in automotive engines
(ISBN 978-1-85573-742-6)
This authoritative book provides an introductory text on the science and technology of
materials used in automotive engines. 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 intention here is to describe the metallurgy, surface modification, wear
resistance, and chemical composition of these materials. It also includes supplementary
notes that support the core text.
HCCI and CAI engines for the automotive industry
(ISBN 978-1-84569-128-8)
HCCI/CAI has emerged as one of the most promising engine technologies with the
potential to combine fuel efficiency and improved emissions performance. Despite
the considerable advantages, its operational range is rather limited and controlling the
combustion (timing of ignition and rate of energy release) is still an area of on-going
research. However, commercial applications are close to reality. This book reviews the
key international research on optimising its use, including gasoline HCCI/CAI engines,
diesel HCCI engines, HCCI/CAI engines with alternative fuels, and advanced modelling
and experimental techniques.
Tribology and dynamics of engine and powertrain: Fundamentals, applications and
future trends
(ISBN 978-1-84569-361-9)
Tribology is one element of many interacting within a vehicle engine and powertrain. In
adopting a detailed, theoretical, component approach to solving tribological problems,
the minutiae can be overwhelmingly complex and practical solutions become elusive and
uneconomic. The system perspective generally adopted in industry, however, can lead
to shortcuts and oversimplifications, industrial projects are subject to ad hoc trial and
error, and subsequent ‘fire-fighting’ activity is required. This book seeks to bridge this
divide, using a multi-physics approach to provide sufficient fundamental grounding and
understanding of both detailed and approximate analyses – thereby making ‘first time
right’ design solutions possible. Tribological issues and solutions in piston systems, valve
train systems, engine bearings and drivetrain systems are addressed. New developments
in materials, micro-engineering, nano-technology and MEMS are also included.

SUPERIOR DOWNSIZING
OUR COMPETENCE FOR YOUR SUCCEEdSSited by
Hua Zhao
Turbocharged engines, in conjunction with innovative technolo-
gies, provide the optimum solution for improved fuel economy
and lower emissions. Our downsizing engine with a displace-
ment of 1.2 liters, which we developed as a technology dem-
onstrator, offers the performance of a conventional engine twice
the size. More importantly, it reduces fuel consumption, and
consequently CO2 emissions by up to 30 percent. Our numer-
ous high-performance projects and systems contribute to this
achievement. As a result of this extensive systems expertise,
MAHLE is the leading development partner for the international
automotive and engine industry. www.mahle-powertrain.com
