Cylinder Lining Interface 2

from $59.95

This micrograph shows the interface between the inner and outer walls of an engine block’s piston cylinder. Each region has a distinct microstructure tailored for a specific function—wear resistance on the inner wall and structural support on the outer. In this high-mileage engine, dark cracks have formed along the interface. These features reveal how stress and long-term use can lead to microstructural fatigue and failure over time.
