Clutches
Aluminum has a few inherent drawbacks as a flywheel material. first is it has a greater CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) than steel. this means that the flywheell will heavily stress the bolts when heated up. this in itself isnt so bad, but you run into problems when you combine this fact with how malleable of a material it is (malleable = dents when you hit it with a hammer for those who havent taken classes in mechanics of materials). AL flywheels have been know to deform their own bolt mating surface due to how malliable the metal is. thsis cna result in loose flywheel bolts and the catastrophe that follows.
