What type of material is used in the manufacture of modern Mercedes cylinder blocks?
Cast Aluminum, it is incredibly lightweight and strong- with the exception of the 320CDI engine that is made of forged steel, the diesel engine has a much higher compresion ratio and requires more reinforcement.
How is aluminum used in everyday life?
soda cans, automobiles, engine blocks, wheels, CDs, etc!
Do all 470 mercruisers have aluminum blocks?

Is Aluminium any good for making a car?
Aluminum is not very strong so you be the judge!!! ---- Aluminium is used in sports car and domestic car manufacture all the time. Sports cars use it to reduce weight by replacing bodywork with aluminum panels and most modern domestic vehicles use aluminum cylinder heads.
Why does cylinder head made of alluminium?
Aluminum is used for cylinder heads and engine blocks to make the entire engine lighter. A lighter engine is desired for a number of reasons, including better gas mileage, better handling, better braking response and better chassis balance. Since the aluminum used in standard engines and cylinder heads does not provide a good surface for high-friction areas, such as valve guides and piston cylinders, where aluminum-to-aluminum surfaces would wear out too quickly, other metals such as steel is used for the aluminum component to slide on. For example, an aluminum piston rides inside a steel liner which is inserted into the aluminum engine block. Since aluminum and steel respond very differently to the heat and cold in an engine, very careful design engineering is required when using these two metals together.
