When it comes to turning raw metal alloys into useful things, two processes dominate: casting and forging. Both have their place, but when strength and light weight are priorities, forging is the ...

Of all engine performance parts, piston assemblies usually extract the largest bite from a Ir. Stock engine builder's budget. Of course this is not always the case. Some piston manufacturers, such as ...

Many performance cars, including the supercharged Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and most Ferrari GT models, rely on forged pistons — instead of cast-aluminum pistons — for their additional strength. Forged ...

While they're not quite ready for production, the printed parts were lighter, ran cooler and unlocked more power than the standard forged pistons. Antuan started out in the automotive industry the old ...

Developments in near-net-shape forging processes promise to enhance engine performance, strengthen components for oil and gas drilling and improve hermetic seals for high-power semiconductors.

Horsepower comes in all shapes, sizes, and cylinder counts. But for the import inclined, making big power inevitably requires more robust engineering. Unlike a big V8 that spreads the loads over 8 ...

Despite being in existence and undergoing continuous development for 140 years, the internal combustion engine can still be improved, and Volvo recently highlighted one of its recent improvements that ...

Porsche has started 3D printing pistons for the 911 GT2 RS and says that they are not only lighter than traditional pistons but also add more power. In partnership with Mahle and Trumpf, Porsche uses ...
