THE advantages of using an 1 aluminium cylinder block with wear properties superior to the normal untreated cast-iron block will shortly be offered by Sheepbridge Engineering,' Ltd. The company have recently, secured the sole manufacturing and Selling rights for the United Kingdom / for the Mahle-K.G. process by which chromium can be successfully deposited on aluminium cylinder bores and similar components.
The use of chromium in this way avoids a big difference in thermal expansion between the cylinder' and piston, and piston fits can be made much closer. It is understood that the chromium will be deposited to a layer depth of about 0.003 in.
