Reduction of weight and consumption through thin steel coat

 

With the arc wire coating process a thin steel coat is applied directly to the aluminum running surface of crankcases. This coat is clearly lighter than the used steel bushing. Thus, weight and consumption are reduced.

 

A test unit for customer casting and coating process development is available at Scheuchl company.
