RE: 2 Stroke engine question?
What material is your house made from? The way you asked this question is the same as the way I asked mine.
(Hint: You need to be a lot more specific with your question. The crankshaft is a different material from the cylinder block and that's a different material from the piston)

Material choices may include aluminum alloys or zinc alloys.
At smaller scales, I have had a couple of lawn edger motors with aluminum cylinders and injection molded plastic crankcases.

Apart from a bit of mould release agent, die-cast components are simply churned out until the dies need maintenance or replacement.

2-stroke engines used for chain saws or weed wackers usually have aluminum die cast cylinder/heads and crankcases, die cast aluminum pistons, sand cast steel cranks and rods.
