| description | The aim of this paper is to apply material selection methods for
selecting the most appropriate material for piston application. Initial candidate
materials such as, grey cast iron, Ti and Al alloys, 20% SiC reinforced Al and
Al-Cu alloy matrix composites and WC-TiC reinforced Ti matrix composite
were analysed based on their performance requirements. Digital logic (DL)
approach was implemented for material selection and knowledge-based system
(KBS) was used for comparison purposes. In DL method, performance index
(PI) was measured using the scaled property and weighting factor. The figure
of merit was obtained based on PI and relative cost of each candidate material.
In KBS, a MATLAB network tool was employed for comparison purposes. The
highest PI was found for 20% SiC reinforced Al-Cu alloy composite compared
to other materials and hence can be selected for the new generation automotive
piston application. |
