Abstract: A thermal spraying system for a cylinder, in which a cylinder is held on a turntable; a bore inside surface of said cylinder is subjected to thermal spraying by moving a thermal spraying gun in the axial direction in the bore of said cylinder while said cylinder is rotated; a suction port of a dust discharge pipe for sucking dust in the bore of said cylinder is disposed under said cylinder to suck and discharge dust in the bore of said cylinder; and the diameter of the suction port of said dust discharge pipe is larger than the inside diameter of the bore of said cylinder.

Abstract: A mixed powder thermal spraying method includes forming a mixed thermal spraying film comprising two kinds of materials having different melting points wherein powder-feeding points are provided for each material; and each powder-feeding port is controlled respectively to externally feed each material, and wherein the thermal powder spraying method is bore thermal spraying carried out with a bent plasma jet.

Abstract: A thermal spray material includes a mixture of 5-30 weight % of an AlSi alloy powder with 95-70 weight percent of a cast iron powder to provide abrasion resistance for aluminum alloy parts. The AlSi alloy powder contains 12-30 weight % Si, at least one element selected from a group consisting of 0.5-5.0 weight % Cu and 0.2-3.0 weight % Mg, 1-15% of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Fe, Mn, and Ni, and a mass balance of Al. The cast iron powder contains 2-4 weight % C, no more than 0.3 weight % Si, and 0.5-3.0 weight % P. A sliding surface of a sliding member is thermal sprayed with a coating of this thermal spray material to provide a sliding member having excellent abrasion resistance.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for blasting an inside surface of a cylinder, in which a steady rough surface is always obtained efficiently in the whole region of inside surface of cylinder for an internal combustion engine. For this purpose, a blast gun 1, which is provided so as to be moved vertically by a traverser 11 and capable of rotating around the axis thereof, has a blast nozzle 3 for blowing blast particles 2 in the vicinity of the lower end thereof. The blowing direction of the blast nozzle 3 is slant downward. A cylinder block 4 is placed upright so that the axis of each cylinder is vertical with a cylinder head mating surface 4e on the upper side, and is isolated from the surrounding space by a cabinet 12. The blast gun 1 blows the blast particles 2 while lowering in each cylinder of the cylinder block 4, by which the inside surface 5 of cylinder is blasted. A blast particle recovering reservoir 13 is provided under the apparatus to recover the blast particles 2.

Abstract: An exhaust gas cleaning device is disposed within an exhaust pipe connected to the exhaust port of an internal combustion engine. The exhaust gas cleaning device comprises an inner pipe disposed coaxially within the exhaust pipe with an annular space defined therebetween, the inner pipe being provided with a plurality of perforations, and laminated structures disposed upon the inner and outer surfaces of the inner pipe and including a catalyst for cleaning unburned components of the exhaust gas flowing within the exhaust pipe, each of the laminated structures being formed of a material which is not deleterious to the catalyst. The laminated structure includes a catalyst carrier layer formed by, in accordance with one method, fusibly injecting a catalyst including a solution onto an intermediate layer formed upon the inner and outer surfaces of the inner pipe and drying the same so as to remove the liquid component therefrom.
