Endurance Test of High Strength Cast Aluminum Transmission Case and Clutch Housing

Abstract

Casting technology procedures which had been developed for composition 201 and 224 aluminum alloys under Phase 1 of this project were used to sand cast transmission cases and clutch covers of a 2-1/2 ton vehicle. Endurance testing of these components, together with standard cast iron components had a better heat-rejecting capability as compared to cast iron components. Furthermore, composition 224 aluminum alloy transmission assembly had better temperature-lowering characteristics (5.1F) than that of composition 201 transmission assembly.
