US Classification:

428 63, 428367, 420 9, 420 78, 427452

Abstract:

A used component, such as an engine block or engine head, has at least one dimension that does not match a dimensional specification for the component. A thermal spray coating of FeAlSiC is applied to build up the dimension. The excess coating is milled off so that the body and coating have a second shape that matches the dimensional specification for the component. The coating has an ordered DO3 crystal structure with a stable aluminum oxide scale that produces oxidation resistance at about 700 C.

International Classification:

B23P 6/02
F02F 7/00

Abstract:

A method is provided for remanufacturing an engine block. The engine block includes a top deck and a passageway that opens at the top deck, and is partially defined in the engine block by a counterbore having a side surface and a base surface. The method includes spraying solid powder metal onto the side surface and the base surface by a gas dynamic cold spray method so as to form a fill member adhered with the side surface and the base surface.

International Classification:

G01N 3/56
G01B 11/22
G01M 15/04

Abstract:

A method of determining wear of a worn surface of a machine component includes providing a scanning device at a distance from the worn surface. The method also includes moving at least one of the scanning device and the worn surface relative to the other and generating a set of data points via the scanning device. Each data point of the set of data points is indicative of a depth of a corresponding point on the worn surface relative to a reference plane. The method further includes determining a maximum depth of the worn surface based on the set of data points and comparing the maximum depth to a reference value to determine a next step in a remanufacturing process of the machine component.

Abstract:

A method of manufacturing an engine block is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes providing an engine block including a cylinder bore and a top deck with a head face including a predetermined surface roughness. The method also includes masking the cylinder bore with a masking plug, the masking plug being located at a predetermined insertion distance measured from a masking plug outer surface to the head face. The method further includes applying a corrosion resistant coating to the top deck over the head face and machine finishing the engine block including the coating to the engine block specifications.

Abstract:

A cutter system configured to sever elastomeric material of a non-pneumatic tire may include a cutter including a mounting fixture and a blade coupled to the mounting fixture. The cutter system may further include a driver assembly operably coupled to the mounting fixture of the cutter. The driver assembly may include a support member, and a cross-member operably coupled to the mounting fixture and the support member. The driver assembly may further include a first actuator operably coupled to the cross-member and the mounting fixture of the cutter, wherein the first actuator is configured to rotate the mounting fixture of the cutter relative to the cross-member. The driver assembly may further include a second actuator operably coupled to the cross-member and the support member, wherein the second actuator is configured to move the cross-member, such that the cutter reciprocates along a first axis relative to the support member.

Abstract:

A method of remanufacturing a component having a heat treated hardened layer over a substrate material is disclosed. The method includes removing at least the heat treated hardened layer of the component to expose the substrate material. The method also includes providing a cladding material on the substrate material. The method further includes melting the cladding material via a laser beam to form a single layered coating with hardness greater than or substantially equal to hardness of the heat treated hardened layer, on the substrate material.
