Quality Control & Inspection Protocols
- Precision Plateau Honing: Bores are cross-honed to exact geometrical parameters to maintain an optimal oil-retention film, reducing friction between piston rings and bore walls.
- Microstructure Verification: Batch-wise spectroscopic and microscopic analysis ensures correct graphite flake distribution and pearlitic density.
- 100% Dimensional Inspection: Full CMM and manual gauge inspection on all finished critical dimensions.
- Random NDT & Mechanical Testing: Routine inspection of cross-honing angles, surface roughness ($R_a$), profile accuracy, tensile strength, and crack detection (MPI/DP).
