Reading the running surface

Short engineering articles on the damage patterns behind abnormal liner wear - written from measurement practice, not from a catalogue. English only: it is the working language of the fleet.

DAMAGE PATTERN 01 Scuffing in cylinder liners Micro-seizure between ring and liner: what starts it, how it looks on the running surface, and why the wear rate jumps before the temperature does. DAMAGE PATTERN 02 Clover leafing in cylinder liners The clover-shaped bore pattern of localised cold corrosion - why it forms between the lubricator points and what the polar view reveals. DAMAGE PATTERN 03 Cylinder liner scoring Vertical scratches from hard particles: cat fines, ring fragments and debris - how scoring differs from scuffing and when it forces action.
