Zusammenfassung:Weight reduction for automobiles is the main concern in modern automotive manufacturing. Using aluminum alloys to design a tubular type of air intake manifold (AIM) is discussed. From casting to brazing, the technologies and mechanical properties of various Al alloys are compared. The goals of developing Al AIM are 30% weight reduction, 3-5% increase of engine performance, and same or less cost.
