Material Platform Technology
Hybrid Material Compositions
Hybrid Liners
Benefits and Uses
A reduction of as little as 1% in friction inside the engine block through implementation of improved lubrication technologies could result in 1 billion liters of fuel saved annually worldwide.
Intelligent Composites, LLC, (Milwaukee, WI) is manufacturing a novel material platform technology in the form of a self-lubricating metal-matrix composite (MMC).
They offer the potential to reduce weight and oil consumption within internal combustion engines while improving energy efficiency.
The engine with the Intelligent Composites liner was consistently 40-50 degrees cooler
than the stock cast iron lined engine.
