Abstract

A hybrid engine block including a metal supporting structure and a composite plastic housing shall be designed and manufactured. The focus lies on the material selection, adapted to the engine block requirements, and the analysis of the joint area by pressure and leak tight tests. Several surface treatments are applied and compared to each other.
