Cast B2-phase iron-aluminum alloys with improved fluidity

Patent Maziasz, Philip J [122 Clark La., Oak Ridge, TN 37830]; Paris, Alan M [P.O. Box 64, Tarrs, PA 15688]; Vought, Joseph D [124 Cove Point Rd., Rockwood, TN 37854]

Systems and methods are described for iron aluminum alloys. A composition includes iron, aluminum and manganese. A method includes providing an alloy including iron, aluminum and manganese; and processing the alloy. The systems and methods provide advantages because additions of manganese to iron aluminum alloys dramatically increase the fluidity of the alloys prior to solidification during casting.

Hybrid cam bore sand core with metal chills for cast aluminum block

Patent Petrus, Ronald J.; Wang, Qigui; Nichols, III, Richard M.; ...

A system for making a hybrid cam bore sand core with metal chills for an engine block includes an engine block cast of an aluminum material. A camshaft bore extends through the engine block. A cam bore sand core with at least one metal chill is positioned within the camshaft bore. A body portion of the at least one metal chill is positioned in direct contact with a cam bearing surface of at least one cam bearing member during casting of the engine block to increase a cooling rate of the at least one cam bearing member and create amore » « less
