The disclosure includes manufacturing a semimanufactured cylinder head (3) having a shielding curtain portion (16g) and spraying metal powder (P) onto an annular valve seat portion (16f) using a cold spray method to form a valve seat film (16b). The shielding curtain portion (16g) projects in an annular shape from an annular edge portion of an opening portion (16a) of an intake port (16) or an opening portion (17a) of an exhaust port (17) toward the center (C) of the port. The annular valve seat portion (16f) is located on an outer side of the port than the shielding curtain portion (16g).

The present invention relates to a diesel engine piston which is cast in one piece and which consists of almost fully pearlitic cast iron with spheroidal graphite as the piston material. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of such a diesel engine piston for “light vehicle” diesel engines, “heavy duty” diesel engines and “large bore” diesel engines.

A casting device includes a bore formation core and a water jacket formation core. When a cavity is formed, gas existing in a space between both cores is suctioned through a flow path formed in the bore formation core under operation of a suctioning device. When the bore formation core is viewed from a side, this flow path exists above a virtual axial line that passes a center of the bore formation core and extends along a longitudinal direction of the bore formation core.

Methods, assemblies and apparatuses are for forming a cooling jacket in a cast part of a marine engine, for example in a cylinder head for the marine engine. A cooling jacket core has a longitudinally elongated first portion that forms a first flow path for conveying cooling fluid through the cast part in a first direction and a longitudinally elongated second portion that forms an opposite, second flow path for conveying cooling fluid through the cast part in an opposite, second direction. At least one bridge integrally supports the first and second portions with respect to each other during casting. At least one plug is configured to fit in the cast part where the bridge was located so as to separate the first and second flow paths from each other while sealing the first and second flow paths from an opposite side of the cast part.

A mold includes an ingot mold and a top core. The top core is disposed in and/or on the ingot mold. The top core forms, in part, a functional surface of a component formed in the mold and the ingot mold forms at least a sub-region of the functional surface of the component formed in the mold.

A cast piston for an internal combustion engine is made of an iron-based material and has windows in at least one side wall carrying a piston pin boss. The windows are asymmetric relative to one another on the side of the skirt walls.

A permanent mold has a base made of metal. The base has a plurality of first mold portions, which are mutually spaced along a longitudinal axis and which are designed to shape a bearing tunnel of a crankcase. Second mold portions are arranged on the first mold portions and consist of a mold material.

A cylinder block for use in an internal combustion engine includes a first and second cylinder bores, a first and second cylinder bore liners, and a Siamese insert. The first and second cylinder bores are disposed adjacent to each other. The first and second cylinder bores each comprise a first cylinder bore wall and a second cylinder bore wall, respectively, and a shared cylinder bore wall. The first cylinder bore liner is disposed on a first inner surface of the first cylinder bore wall and the second cylinder bore liner is disposed on a second inner surface of the second cylinder bore wall. The Siamese insert is disposed in a top portion of the shared cylinder bore wall.
