HONING IS DEFINED AS A MACHINING PROCESS FOR IMPROVING DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY, CYLINDRICITY AND SURFACE FINISH. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY INCLUDE THE MACHINING OF HYDRAULIC CONTROL BORES AND PISTON RUNNING AREAS OF COMBUSTION ENGINES. THIS PAPER SHOWS CURRENT VARIATIONS OF CONVENTIONAL AND SINGLE-PASS HONING AND THE PROCESS OF BRUSH HONING. BOTH EXAMPLES ARE TYPICAL OF ECONOMIC FINE MACHINING WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY STANDARD.
