Comparative Study of AISI 4340 and Al 7068 Connecting Rod
Main Article Content
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to study the possibility of replacing steel connecting rod with lightweight Aluminium connecting rod. In order to do so first original connecting rod made of Steel (AISI 4340) was analysed for different loading condition, this will be a baseline for comparison. Steel was replaced by Aluminium Alloy (AL 7068), this alloy is the strongest commercially available aluminium alloy. Aim was to reduce weight and study its effect on various property of Component. This has entailed performing a detailed maximum compressive and tensile load capacity, fatigue, stress, strain and natural frequency.
