Formation of Residual Stresses in the Internal Combustion Engine Sleeves after Abrasive Processing and Operation

Abstract

The article presents the results of residual stresses measurements in the material of the internal combustion engine (ICE) sleeves. The studies have been carried out for new sleeves, sleeves after processing with diamond and single-component abrasive tools (SCAT) and sleeves that have exhausted their service life. The results of the research have established the fact that processing of the sleeves with a single-component abrasive tool substantially increases the values of internal residual compressive stresses, which contributes to the life extension of the engine in whole.
