Abstract
A method of staggering reversal of thermal spray inside a cylinder bore of an internal combustion engine. The method includes the steps of thermally spraying a surface of the cylinder bore by moving a thermal spray gun along a length of the surface. The method also includes the steps of reversing a direction of travel of the thermal spray gun inside the cylinder bore at different points along the length of the surface to provide a multi-layered coating on the surface.
