Introduction to Forging Process Methods for Stainless Steel Flanges

Whether you are willing to accept it or not, the trend of engine technology has shifted from "large displacement naturally aspirated" to "small displacement turbocharged", and even the number of cylinders in engines is getting fewer and fewer. Nowadays, 1.0L-1.5L displacement three cylinder turbocharged engines have become the force of the new generation. Today, let's talk about the cutting-edge three cylinder engines of domestic and foreign car companies!

First of all, let's talk about why most of us reject three cylinder engines! To summarize, there are roughly three doubts: 1. Is the power very weak? 2. Will there be significant vibration and noise? 3. How reliable is it after long-term use? Many people's impressions or doubts about three cylinder engines may be traced back to the 1980s with the Chery (TJ7100).

This three cylinder engine, codenamed TJ376Q, originated from Daihatsu in Japan and its technical configuration was not outdated at that time. It used a single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder, and a compression ratio of 9.5:1. This three cylinder engine still leaves a lot of negative impressions on people: "The power performance is difficult to climb uphill with the air conditioning on in summer", "The noise level of one of the three great tenors", "High idle vibration"

Surprisingly, the Ford 1.0T unleashes strong power with its petite body, delivering a high power output of 125Ps (92kW)/6000rpm and a high torque of 170N · m/1400-4500rpm! This is stronger than the two previous Xiali 1.0L engines combined, and its smoothness is comparable to a four cylinder engine. Therefore, Ford has won the International Engine Awards in 2014 and 2015 consecutively.
