 Tuning for Better Fuel Economy

Advanced high-pressure fuel injection systems on diesel engines face high-cycle fatigue challenges just as demanding as most aerospace aircraft turbine engine components. Repeated pulses of very high pressures — greater than 1000 bar — can generate fatigue failures at high stress areas within fuel injector components. Smoothing and removing surface cracks and producing uniform radiusing of sharp edges with Extrude Hone’s advanced manufacturing technologies, particularly our Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) and MicroFlow™ AFM processes, as well as our Electrolytic Machining (ECM) process, can dramatically improve the performance and the reliability of the component and the overall system:

  • » Enhanced, high-quality internal and external surfaces
  • » Improved high cycle fatigue strength
  • » Minimized or eliminated occurrence of crack propagation
  • » Increase horsepower
  • » Increased fuel economy
  • » Extended component service life
In fact, within the diesel industry, the Extrude Hone MicroFlow AFM process delivers unequaled manufacturing control over orifice surface finishes and entry edges. Moreover, it provides consistent hole quality and enhance flow characteristics for improved atomization, deeper jet spray penetration, and better fuel and air mixing. As a result, extremely high pressure injection systems when combined with streamlined and “flow tuned” spray orifices, not only reduce particulate emissions, but also improve the fuel efficiency of such diesel-powered vehicles as trucks, tractors, construction equipment, buses, cars, yachts and ships.
