[Stockholm, 16 December 2014] - Hyundai Motor
Company, the world's fifth largest automobile manufacturer, has
begun series production of a 12.7 litre Compacted Graphite Iron
(CGI) cylinder head for heavy duty commercial vehicle
applications. Following the launch of Hyundai's first CGI
engine programme in 2006 - the 3.0 litre V6 S-engine used in
Hyundai and Kia luxury SUV applications in the domestic Korean
market - the 12.7 litre L-engine cylinder head becomes Hyundai's
sixth CGI product in series production, extending its CGI
leadership position in Asia and making it the second largest user
of CGI components worldwide.
In addition to the 3.0 litre
S-engine cylinder block and the 12.7 litre L-engine cylinder head,
Hyundai has also used CGI for the 3.9 litre F-engine and 5.9 litre
G-engine commercial vehicle cylinder blocks since 2007, and for
high performance cylinder heads of the 5.9 litre G-engine and all
cylinder heads of the 10.0 litre H-engine since 2011. All of
Hyundai's CGI components are produced at the Hyundai Jeonju foundry
and the Daedong foundry in Korea, using the SinterCast process
control technology.
"Hyundai was the first OEM in Asia
to adopt CGI and has since become a world leader for CGI
performance upgrades. The 5.9, 10.0 and 12.7 litre CGI
cylinder heads have all been introduced as upgrades of existing
grey cast iron heads, to ensure durability as the power and torque
were increased. The CGI cylinder heads are produced using the
existing grey iron foundry tooling and are machined on the same
lines as the grey iron heads" said Dr Steve Dawson, President &
CEO of SinterCast. "The direct substitution of conventional
grey cast iron with CGI provides an ongoing growth opportunity, as
engines are upgraded to maintain market competitiveness and to
satisfy future emissions legislation."
