Anyone have more info on this? Aluminum cylinders plated with steel seems like a red flag to a layman. I have visions of flaking dancing in my head.

GOOD Breakdown of PTWA

Good one CSJ... OK... Jag and Rover, Catipillar etc also use this.

There are two processes... one uses wire.. the other powder... very similar process.

Cost?

Does anyone know how the cost compares between the plasma and nikasil ?? Thinking ahead when a cylinder goes down or an over bore is wanted.
