why are diesel car engine made from iron rather than other metal?

[kumarasami]

Iron is durable. Current generation diesels use compact graphite and iron for strength and durability. But change is on the way. Honda and Mazda now have production aluminium block and head components used in diesel engines. Both are small and lightweight designed for compact cars ranging from 1.6 to 2.0 litres and use turbochargers.
