This paper proposes the ELID (Electrolytic in Process Dressing) ultrasonic honing system, and conducts simulation for the solution acoustic coupling mechanism of electrolyte between the anion and cathode of ELID ultrasonic honing system. Meanwhile, a comparative experiment is carried out for the ultrasonic honing and ordinary honing. The simulation results show that there is no obvious increase...

Honing is mostly the last step in the production process for precise elements and thus has to comply with high standards for the resulting quality regarding form, measurement and surface quality. Tolerances are currently even further reduced. Crucial for the ability of the honing process to reach the high quality is the process control. A new approach to a further improvement of the honing proc...

The surface finish between two mating parts in an assembly has significant influence on the mechanical properties such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and stress concentration. The choice of surface finishing operation such as honing and lapping is based on functional requirements of an assembly. As these processes are expensive, the design engineer should be cautio...

honing is a process for finishing surfaces to obtain smooth surface. this process is used for finalpolish of inner parts such as engines cylinders. optimizing this process has always been a bigchallenge for mass production of cylinder blocks of internal combustion engines. honing processhas some variable parameters, thus to get their optimum rates the automobile cylinders were tested.in this re...

The automatic assessment of the texture of honed surfaces of cylinder bores based on microscopic grey level images is a demanding task. Although for some of the problems arising in this context, solutions are already given in literature [6,7,9], there remains a lot of work to be done due to the complexity of honing textures and the high quality demands made by combustion engine manufacturers. T...

The present paper describes the geometries of honing wheels used in final tooth-flank-finishing process automotive transmission gears. For micro honed gears to keep their required gear accuracy, improper a gear-honing wheel cause dressing interval be short. That is because stock removals are not uniform over tooth flank, then wear also uniform. As result, out tolerances. amount removal could de...

The quality of the honing texture on cylinder bores of combustion engines plays an important role with respect to oil consumption, noxious emissions, and running performance. To evaluate honed surfaces objectively, features describing the surface texture are extracted from 2-D data of the surface. The paper focuses on two crucial stages of the data analysis: the preprocessing, which aims at sup...
