In a process for chip-forming machining of thermally sprayed cylinder barrels of a cylinder crankcase, a cylinder crankcase is cast, those surfaces of the subsequent cylinder barrels which are to be thermally coated are roughened, the cylinder barrels are coated by a thermal spraying process, and the cylinder barrels are remachined to final dimensions. Machining of an insertion bevel and/or an end bevel and/or the cylinder head sealing surface and/or the crankshaft space and/or a cylinder bore is carried out in a chip-forming manner, and a respective chip-forming tool is guided so that the respective cutting edges penetrate into the material which is to be removed from the outside.

Process for the chip-forming machining of thermally sprayed cylinder barrels

In a process for processing cylinder crankcases having sprayed cylinder barrels, in which process a cylinder crankcase is cast, those surfaces of the subsequent cylinder barrels which are to be thermally coated are roughened, the cylinder barrels are coated by a thermal spraying process, and the cylinder barrels are remachined to final dimensions. After the thermal spraying process, coating material is at least partially removed from the crankshaft-side part of the cylinder crankcase.

Process for processing cylinder crankcases having sprayed cylinder barrels

A tribological coating made of a copper-free highly hypereutectic aluminum/silicon alloy and/or of a copper-free aluminum/silicon composite material composed such that fine silicon primary crystals and/or silicon particles, intermetallic phases, and oxides form as hard particles during the production of the layers in the atmospheric thermal spraying method and/or are anchored in the structure. The surface of the coating can be machined economically by short-chipping using conventional tools, so that additional alloy elements such as copper for forming additional intermetallic phases such as Al,Cu can be eliminated. This is significant because conventional AlSi cylinder liners in reciprocating engines pose problems in conjunction with certain fuels because of their copper content.

Coating consisting of hypereutectic aluminum/silicon alloy and/or an aluminum/silicon composite material

The invention relates to a method for aluminum nitride coating of cylinder contact surfaces (ZL) of a crankcase (KG) made of an aluminum basic alloy where the aluminum nitride coating is performed by surface nitriding of the aluminum basic alloy, and the activated nitrogen is generated by a high-pressure plasma process.

Method and apparatus for aluminum nitride coating of a contact surface, especially a cylinder contact surface of a crankcase made of an aluminum basic alloy

A coating for a cylinder bore of a reciprocating engine with an iron, aluminum, or magnesium base comprises a hypereutectic aluminum/silicon alloy. The alloy is applied to a cylinder wall by thermal spraying.
