Cylinder Honing (Cast Iron)
Cross-hatch geometry decides oil retention and ring seal in engine and compressor cylinders. Our CBN and diamond honing stones hold plateau specifications batch after batch — with stones that fit Sunnen, Gehring and Nagel platforms.
What usually goes wrong
Cross-hatch angle drift
Stone pressure and stroke tuning interact with bond hardness — we supply stones graded for your stroke/st pressure window.
Bore size taper
Consistent stone wear and mandrel rigidity keep size across the stroke; electroplated mandrels remove size drift entirely for small bores.
