Cylinder liner technology with a reduced frictionloss for aluminium cylinder crankcases withan optimised weight
Authors: Dr.-Ing. Stephan Beer, Dr.-Ing. Christian Klimesch
The demand for downsizing as well as for friction and weight reduction in all
vehicle classes is leading to further challenges for the manufacturers of cylinder
crankcases. Kolbenschmidt Pierburg (KSPG) is facing up to these challenges with
the refinement of its casting processes in order to set the most stringent strength
requirements as well as to introduce iron-coated liner surfaces as a cylinder liner
technology with a reduced friction loss.
