Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of manufacturing aluminum alloy cylinder bodies of key components of a rotary engine, in particular to a manufacturing method of an aluminum alloy cylinder body of a rotary engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The aluminum alloy cylinder body of a rotary engine is a cavity piece that is unevenly heated during operation. The cylinder body includes three functional areas: an intake area, a firing combustion area, and an exhaust area. These three functional areas are unevenly heated along the circumference during operation. The circular arc area on the intake side, commonly known as the cold arc area, is lower in temperature than the exhaust side, commonly known as the hot arc area, due to the cooling effect of fresh mixture. The temperature difference between these two areas is large, and this difference varies with the cylinder body material and operating speed. In this harsh operating condition, the firing combustion area generates extremely high temperatures due to the operation of the rotary engine, causing the aluminum alloy base material and coating in the aluminum alloy cylinder body to expand due to the difference in linear thermal expansion coefficients between the aluminum alloy base material and the coating, resulting in cracking of the aluminum alloy cylinder body, loss of coating, and reduced service life of the cylinder body.

[0003] To address the problem of coating failure of the aluminum alloy cylinder body of the rotary engine due to high temperatures in some areas and uneven heating in various areas during operation, most existing technologies currently solve the coating failure problem by changing the coating material and modifying the preparation process, thereby improving the use of the aluminum alloy cylinder body of the rotary engine.
