Laser Texturing Slashes Cylinder Wear

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Susanna Contini Hennink

Laser texturing of engine cylinder walls may reduce oil consumption by 40 percent compared with traditional cylinder machining techniques, according to a manufacturer of engine honing equipment. Machine honing of engine cylinder walls gives them their final dimensions, shape and finish. In the final stage of honing, the cylinder wall receives a surface texture that is designed to allow a friction-reducing oil film to form. This protects the cylinder surfaces from wear and reduces engine oil consumption. Laser honing can produce engines that burn less oil and produce fewer hydrocarbon...Read full article
