Steering columns for automobiles

The Challenge
• Reduce friction at high temperatures
• Alternative to costly bushings
• Improve steering performance after long stand-still

Solutions
FriCSo’s polymer lapping adds an oil-retaining organic nano-layer, hardens the metal surface, and produces an extremely flat, smooth superfinished surface. FriCSo polymer lapping is performed in-line on the current through-feed superfinishing machines. No capital expense and no change in production throughput are required. 

Results
• 30% reduction in friction between steering column and supports
• Bushing may be replaced by steel-on-steel pair without loss of performance
• Production cost of steering column and supports reduced
