Abstract
This study develops a thermal gradient engineering strategy to control microstructure and properties in CuSn10Pb10/42CrMoS4 bimetal cylinder blocks via steel substructure design and multi-stage cooling regulation. Structure with the tapered hole, thermal boss and liquid collector were coupled with a three-stage cooling process (slow: radiative/convective → moderate: 1.6 °C/s → rapid: 6 °C/s) to confine defects to a 2 mm zone at 52 mm radius, enabling compliance with dual industrial specifications. Three-stage cooling governed Pb phase evolution, where slow cooling promoted Sn/Pb segregation, moderate cooling enabled dendritic Cu growth, and rapid cooling suppressed Pb aggregation into discontinuous spheroids. The fabricated cylinder block exhibited superior performance with shear strength 126 MPa and tensile strength 263 MPa.
