Description
Summary:Causes of the in-service damage to hydrocylinder liners were investigated, and the requirements to their working surfaces were systematized. Roughness parameter Ra was found not to provide a precise estimate of the surface quality because its reduction did not affect surface microgeometry. Additionally, the surface quality was assessed by the Abbott-Firestone curve during the finishing operation. The optimized manufacturing technology for obtaining hydrocylinder liners was offered based on having the required microgeometry and surface quality provided by cutting operations. The quality and service characteristics of internal surfaces of hydrocylinder liners were improved by changing technological operations. In particular, the semi-finish turning was chosen to provide for the surface roughness parameter Ra within 6.3–8.0 μm and the roughness pitch parameter S within 0.4–0.6 mm and homogeneous surface structure. The finishing rolling was replaced by burnishing to form a regular microrelief.
