Customer applications

Typical applications

• Engines, injectors, liners, turbo charger housings, common rail parts, steering components, brake drums, rocker arms, connecting rods

Typical requirements

• Liners: constant crosshatch angle
• Small engines: nikasil & chrome plated, blind bore
• Injectors: tolerances < 0.001 mm, Rz < 1
• Brake drums: constant surface texture, ̥ < 0.015 mm, blind bore
• Gears: /O/ < 0.002 - 0.003 mm, surface Ra 0.2 - 0.3, perpendicularity connecting rods: bore parallelism, roundness, surface texture

Advantages of honing

• Improved life time, replaces lapping, improves energy efficiency, lower emission rate, excellent tribology values
