TL;DR: In this paper, the cumulative distribution plot on a normal probability graph is used to characterize the texture of a plateau-enhanced cylinder liners for internal combustion engines, and an alternate approach is proposed based on analyzing the cumulative distributions of the normal probability graphs.
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

TL;DR: Abrasive fine-finishing technology is often applied as a final finishing process, and the selection of the right technology is crucial to obtaining the desired performance of functions such as fatigue life.
Abstract: Abrasive fine-finishing technology is often applied as a final finishing process, and the selection of the right technology is crucial to obtaining the desired performance of functions such as fatigue life. This paper begins with classifications of the technology along with fundamentals and brief histories of the individual methods. The material removal mechanisms, specific energies, and finishing characteristics of the various technologies are summarized giving assessments of the surfaces created by them. Guidelines developed for selecting the appropriate methods, and case studies illustrate the effectiveness of various methods. This paper ends with a discussion of the future prospects of the technology. (C) 2016

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model was developed to investigate the effects of groove characteristics on the lubrication condition and friction at the interface between the piston ring and cylinder liners, and the model aims to solve the average Reynolds equation, which depends on the real surface topographies of the cylinder liner.
Abstract: A cylinder liner possesses fairly intricate surface requirements due to its complicated functions. It needs to provide adequate surface roughness to resist wear as well as to store and retain lubricants during high temperatures. The liner surface texture is anisotropic, produced by the honing process, with resultant deep visible scratches left on it [1] . The prominence of the honing grooves observed suggests that surface texture significantly affects ring-pack performance, although this effect is not clearly understood. In this paper, a numerical model was developed to investigate the effects of groove characteristics on the lubrication condition and friction at the interface between the piston ring and cylinder liner. This model aims to solve the average Reynolds equation, which depends on the real surface topographies of the cylinder liner, and describes the influence of surface irregularities on the lubricant flow under hydrodynamic lubrication conditions, considering lubricant film rupture and cavitations. Numerical results help to determine the optimum lateral groove characteristics to reduce friction and then noxious emissions.
