1.1.1 Connecting Rod Today, connecting rods are best known through their use in I.C. piston engines, such as automotive engines. These are different design from earlier forms of connecting rods, used in steam engines and steam locomotives. It connects the piston to the crankshaft and is responsible for transferring power or force from the piston to the crankshaft and sending it to the transmission. There are different types of materials and manufacturing methods used in the creation of connecting rods. Steel and aluminum are the most used materials as connecting rod. The common types of production processes are casting, forging and powdered metallurgy. Fig. 1.1.2 Connecting rod The most common connecting rod found in the vehicle’s engines is a cast rod. This type of rod is manufactured by pouring molten steel into a mould and then machining the finished product. This type of rod is reliable for lower horsepower producing engines and is the least more costly to manufacture. The cast rod has been used in nearly every type of engine, from gasoline to diesel successfully. Connecting rod consists of- 1. A pin end (Small end) 2. A shank section (Middle) 3. An Crank End (Big End) 4. Stud 5.
