Problems solved by technology

[0004] A high-silicon aluminum alloy cylinder liner material announced by British Patent GB972095 contains alloying elements such as copper, nickel, iron, and manganese, but the total content of alloying elements is low, which will make the alloy insufficient in high temperature resistance and tribological properties; It is difficult to obtain fine and uniform high-hardness compound particle phases and high-silicon particle phases by die-casting methods, which will result in poor processability; there are also problems such as insufficient feeding pressure, internal pores, and inability to strengthen through heat treatment.

[0005] British patent GB2302695 and European patent EP367229 disclose a high-silicon aluminum alloy cylinder liner material that does not contain transition elements such as nickel, iron, and manganese, which will make the alloy have low mechanical properties at high temperature and room temperature, and adopt powder metallurgy technology. As a result, the manufacturing cost is extremely high, and there are still problems such as quality uniformity and performance consistency in the manufacture of thick and large-sized cylinder liners

[0006] The high-silicon aluminum alloys disclosed in Chinese patents CN00124660.7, CN200510048662.7, and CN101457318 adopt the spray deposition manufacturing method, which shows the superiority of the prepared material structure, tribological properties and mechanical properties, but there are extremely high manufacturing costs, metal Issues such as low yield

[0009] The high-silicon shaved composite aluminum alloy cylinder liner material and preparation method disclosed in Chinese patent CN101709414A have the problem of rational design of alloy composition, especially if the iron content is too high, it is difficult to overcome the adverse effect of iron under the action of centrifugal force field, which will lead to The needle shape and rod shape are unfavorable to the performance and processability of materials and products, especially more harmful to plasticity
