Description
Connecting rods – the types you can choose from
What material are connecting rods manufactured out of?
Connecting rods are produced from different materials. Because they
have to be very lightweight and very strong on the one hand,
sintered metals and high-quality aluminium are particularly
well-suited. Although aluminium connecting rods are very
lightweight and stable, they have a shorter service life than steel
connecting rods. In rare cases, connecting rods are also made of
titanium. Depending on the material, connecting rods are either
forged, cast, or milled out of solid metal.
The connecting rods are some of the most important components in
your engine and the most crucial elements in engine tuning. Since
they are exposed to extreme forces, they have to be able to sustain
a lot when you boost your car’s performance. In order for them to
withstand the respective load, manufacturers vying against each
other to attain better design and select better materials. That’s
why there are very different types of connecting rods on the
market. Each design has its advantages and disadvantages and is
designed for a different application. There are also a few myths
surrounding connecting rods. You will find out what types of
connecting rods there are and what they are good for here.
What are connecting rods and what are they there for?
Connecting rods are important and highly stressed components in
your engine. They are located between the pistons and the
crankshaft and convert the linear movement (up and down) of the
pistons into the rotating motion of the crankshaft. In this
process, high forces act on the connecting rods: from extreme heat
to pressure and tensile and lateral forces. They are also exposed
to bending and buckling. Standard connecting rods are not suitable
for use in tuned cars and can quickly tear off under the strain. To
ensure that this does not happen, high-performance connecting rods
made of stronger materials and with a different cross section than
series models have been designed. This means you are on the safe
side with your power-boosted engine and don’t have to worry about
major engine damage.
