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 the production of functionally optimized surfaces - laser structuring . Laser structuring is increasingly being used for the roughening of surfaces. By roughening functional surfaces that have the function of static friction, laser stucturing creates a nondissipative 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
