You asked about metal repairs, I posted this on my site (with photo's) in the news section on November 21, 2010 :

New repair method not involving welding!
Aranthes SA in Birsfelden Switzerland developed a new compound-sandwich technology to repair cylinder-blocks with heavy or small cracks. The technology comes from the aerospace industry.

The result is impressive and designed for a long time quality. Even difficult, almost hopeless cases with cracks in the valves area (below) etc. are now repairable.

What are the patterns made from?
What type of iron are you casting the blocks from?

Fantastic work!

Looks like a wax model. (and looks good)

Hi Merick,
I am neither a metallurgist nor much of an engineer so my comments on alloys are very limited and based on general knowledge gained through reading or discussions with engineers rather than my own practical experience. I do however understand that currently there are 2 sets of common issues with some sets of blocks made in the past namely Porosity and hardness.

With porosity issue it is often only possible to see the faults in the casting once many hours of machining have been invested I would guess that the types of blow holes found in block castings often can be a result of sulphur present in cast iron which is not present in higher grades of iron and steel? (I know with steel forgings sulphur is removed at the foundry as otherwise it creates these areas of weakness in the metal cristals in a forging.)

I think linking this to the hardness issue is also important so you will want as hard a material avalable whilst it is still being possible to machine, to soft a material and whilst it machines easily it can then suffer terribly from valve recession over time.

one thing you do not like to have , is a hard cylinder block .
If you have hard spots or blow holes , the foundry made a mistake . And maybe the pattern is bad made or to old .
In 2011 it is not a problem to make a good block , but you have to use up to date technology .
