NANOSLIDE TECHNOLOGY IN ENGINES

-

THIS REVOLUTION­ARY TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN APPLIED BY MERCEDES-BENZ SINCE 2006, FIRST IN ITS EIGHT-CYLINDER AMG ENGINES AND IT WAS LATER INCLUDED IN OTHER SERIAL PRODUCTS. IN 2011, DURING

THE 14TH MATERIALIC­A FAIR (HELD IN OCTOBER IN MUNICH), THE GERMAN BRAND WAS GIVEN THE COVETED DESIGN AWARD FOR ITS NANOSLIDE, AS AN EXCEPTIONA­L INNOVATION.

Nanoslide entails a cylinder-covering process for aluminum engine blocks, thus offering an alternativ­e to cylinder sleeves. The technology uses a doublewire arc spraying process to continuous­ly melt iron wires and carbon, and scatter them over the cylinders by making the most of a nitrogen gas flow.
