Study on the Machining of Iron-Based Thermal Spray Coating for Sleeveless Engine Cylinder

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the cylinder of a sleeveless engine, molten iron-based alloy is directly sprayed onto the aluminum engine block instead of the previously used cast iron cylinder liner. However, a thermal spraying cylinder liner exhibits poor machining performance during the finish boring process because of severe tool wear. This research investigates the finish boring performance of a thermal spraying cylinder liner to clarify the root cause of tool wear. The results show that mechanical wear is a dominant effect.
