Effect of leaser treatment on the surface of cast iron cylinder bores

“…A wide range of automotive parts, from brake drums to engine parts [6][7][8][9][10], are laser treated to alter the surface and near surface properties of the materials. To improve the mechanical and tribological properties of different cylinder bores it is possible to use special mechanical treatment [11] or chemical coatings [12][13][14] and laser structuring treatments [15] or -which is used by a large European automotive manufacturer -a special laser surface treatment on the cast iron V-block engines to alter the properties of the cylinder bores. Due to the laser treatment, the area near the surface of the cylinder bore becomes harder and more wear resistant.…”
