  2. Honing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honing_(metalworking)

    Superabrasives and hone head for cylinders Honing tools. Honing uses a special tool, called a honing stone or a hone, to achieve a precision surface. The hone is composed of abrasive grains that are bound together with an adhesive. Generally, honing grains are irregularly shaped and about 10 to 50 micrometers in diameter (300 to 1500 mesh grit ...

  3. Flat honing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_honing

    Due to the tension-free reception of loose parts in the carriers, virtually any solid material can be processed. The application range is very wide, from a soft to a very hard material (thermoplastic plastic to sapphire or ceramic). The surface is similar to the typical honing crosshatch, this leads to good tribological properties and fine ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

    Some small engines are air-cooled, and instead of having a water jacket the cylinder block has fins protruding away from it to cool the engine by directly transferring heat to the air. The cylinder walls are usually finished by honing to obtain a cross hatch, which is able to retain more oil. A too rough surface would quickly harm the engine by ...

    The traditional five-bolt pentagonal cylinder head pattern was replaced with a square four-bolt design (much like the 1964–1990 Oldsmobile V8), and the pistons are of the flat-topped variety (in the LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, LQ9, and L33), while all other variants, including the new LS9 and LQ4 truck engine, received a dished version of the GM ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshimura_buckling

    The Schwarz lantern The sleeves of Mona Lisa are wrinkled in the Yoshimura buckling pattern. In mechanical engineering, Yoshimura buckling is a triangular mesh buckling pattern found in thin-walled cylinders under compression along the axis of the cylinder, [1] [2] [3] producing a corrugated shape resembling the Schwarz lantern.

  7. Engine configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_configuration

    1919 Napier Lion II aircraft engine with three cylinder banks. Any design of motor/engine,be it a V or a boxer can be called an "in-line" if it's mounted in-line with the frame/chassis and in-line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.When the motor/engine is across the frame/chassis this is called a TRANSVERSE motor.Cylinder arrangement is not in the description of how the motor/engine ...

  8. List of GM bellhousing patterns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_GM_bellhousing_patterns

    Also called the GM small corporate pattern and the S10 pattern. This pattern has a distinctive odd-sided hexagonal shape. Rear wheel drive applications have the starter mounted on the right side of the block (when viewed from the flywheel) and on the opposite side of the block compared to front wheel drive installations.

  9. Paint adhesion testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_adhesion_testing

    A crosshatch pattern is made through the film to the substrate. Detached flakes of coating are removed by brushing with a soft brush. Pressure-sensitive tape is applied over the crosshatch cut. Tape is smoothed into place using a pencil eraser over the area of the incisions.
