SEPTEMBER 16, 2015

Mahle has developed a new thermal spray coating for modern high-output direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engines (GTDI). The new coating also was developed to help meet requirements for new production engines planned for 2018-2020, which call for less cylinder-bore friction and the use of lower-viscosity oils and alternative fuels.
