Functionally optimized surfaces for automotive applications

The Automotive industry is one of the classic areas for the application and use of honing . Whoever wants to be a leader in this field , must make high demands on the precision of its engines and transmissions . Functionally optimized surfaces with improved tribological properties ensure lower oil consumption , emission improvements , reduced wear as well as lower fuel consumption . Our wide range of products and our customer friendly service will convince you.

In addition to honing we have developed another method at Gehring for producing functionally optimized surfaces - laser structuring . Laser structuring is increasingly being used for roughening of surfaces . Roughening of functional surfaces which require higher friction coefficients, will create a slip free connection between two parts, e.g. between the connecting rod and crankshaft.

Typical applications for honing are:

Cylinder Blocks, crankshaft bores, cylinder liners, connecting rods, differential housings, gears, planetary gears

Typical applications for Laser structuring are:

Con Rods, Cam, Pinions
