Wet Cylinder Liners

WET CYLINDER LINERS made of grey cast-iron, manufactured by the "CENTRIFUGAL CAST PROCESS" is acknowledged to be the best method. It possesses the bearing metal qualities that cause skin healing after abrasion and a structure that is readily wetted by oil and retains an oil film. 
Corrosion resistance is further improved by adding Chromium in the metal. In the centrifugal casting process, the molten metals is poured into a metal mould or die which is revolving at a high speed. 
The centrifugal force causes the metal to distribute itself evenly around the die. The resulting castings are of much finer grain structural and free from blow holes or porosity and the hardness is very good. 
A further important advantage is that the impurities, being lighter than the iron, are forced centrifugally to the bore surface from which they are removed by machining. 
The liners are ‘cast-in fit’, force (press) fit or slip fit. The interference between its outer diameter and bore-hole walls depends on fit-type from 0.050 to 0.075 mm. these are available in Fully-Finish (FF) condition and the available in wide range suitable for medium and heavy duty application.
