Evaluation of Honed Cylinder Bores
نویسنده
چکیده
The quality of the honing texture on cylinder bores of combustion engines plays an important role with respect to oil consumption, noxious emissions, and running performance. To evaluate honed surfaces objectively, features describing the surface texture are extracted from 2-D data of the surface. The paper focuses on two crucial stages of the data analysis: the preprocessing, which aims at suppressing irrelevant components and enhancing the information of interest, and the feature extraction, which yields reliable numerical estimates of the surface characteristics of interest, like the honing angle, groove parameters, surface defects etc. The assessment results can easily be adapted to user-specific ratings.

Detection of Defects in Groove Textures of Honed Surfaces
The automatic assessment of the texture of honed surfaces of cylinder bores based on microscopic grey level images is a demanding task. Although for some of the problems arising in this context, solutions are already given in literature [6,7,9], there remains a lot of work to be done due to the complexity of honing textures and the high quality demands made by combustion engine manufacturers. T...
متن کاملAn application of optical surface assessment to engine preparation techniques
Although the advantages of optical techniques have long been appreciated, the inherent limitations of such methods have meant that stylus techniques remain the accepted "standard" for surface assessment. The study of many engineering processes, such as engine preparation techniques, have been based on stylus methods. Much of this research may be extended to optical techniques for surface assess...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Effective Parameters on Honing Process of Cast Iron Cylinder
Honing is a process for finishing surfaces to obtain smooth surface. This process is used for final polish of inner parts such as engines cylinders. Optimizing this process has always been a big challenge for mass production of cylinder blocks of internal combustion engines. Honing process has some variable parameters, thus to get their optimum rates the automobile cylinders were tested. In thi...

متن کاملCFD Aided Development of a SI-DI Engine
CFD Aided Development of a SI-DI Engine — Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) appears to be the most relevant way to improve fuel efficiency of SI engines. But today, GDI is essentially regarded as a suitable technology for relatively high displacement engines, and the literature shows that the R&D effort on GDI engines is generally made for bores larger than 80 mm. For small bore engines (bore bel...
