Abstract

The plateau honing operation is being widely used for finishing of cylinder liners for internal combustion engines. Plateau honing has been shown to significantly reduce the costly running-in period due to the fact that very little further modification of the texture is required once the liner is put into operation. In order to better understand, control, and ultimately “engineer” plateau honed surfaces, a comprehensive means of characterizing this texture is required. In this paper the techniques currently used are briefly reviewed and an alternate approach is proposed. The proposed approach is based on analyzing the cumulative distribution plot on a normal probability graph.
