Honing Liquid: ensuring a healthy and efficient honing process
The Chris-Marine water miscible honing liquid is based on environmentally friendly substances to ensure a healthy and efficient honing process. Using this honing liquid ensures the shortest possible honing time by preventing residues from clogging the stones.
Why honing of cylinder liners?
The honing process rectifies longitudinal and circumferential surface geometry, thus restoring the cylinder liner’s oil retaining surface properties. Honing is vital to prolong the lifetime of cylinder liners and avoid running-in problems. If honing isn’t performed regularly there is a risk that the maximum wear limit provided by the engine makers won’t be reached before cylinder condition issues occur. Some common cylinder condition problems are broken piston rings and cylinder scuffing.
Honing results
The honing result depends on several process parameters such as honing speed, stone pressure, and number of strokes for each stage. Different types of stones are used throughout the process and up to five surface roughness parameters and several more geometrical parameters should be within a pre-specified range at the end of the honing process. This means that monitoring and controlling the process is challenging also for quite experienced users.
Choosing your equipment
The choice of equipment has an impact on quality, process time, noise level and safety. Chris-Marine’s experienced staff are happy to advice. To learn more about cylinder reconditioning, please see our brochures:
