✦ Synopsis


An appropriate fabrication route as well as the testing of γ‐TiAl‐conrods deployed in a high spinning petrol‐operated engine is discussed in this paper. The advantage of deploying γ‐TiAl as a conrod consists in the reduction of oscillating masses together with a minimization of engine vibrations. In addition the crank drive improves, resulting in weight and fuel savings and an improved acceleration capability.
