Abstract:
Oil pumps having wear-resistant coatings applied thereto and methods of applying the coatings are disclosed. The oil pump may include an aluminum housing that defines a cavity. A steel rotor may be disposed within the cavity and configured to rotate therein such that a portion of the steel rotor contacts the aluminum housing. A metal coating (e.g., steel) may cover at least a portion of the aluminum housing in a region that is configured to be contacted by the steel rotor. An integrated oil pump and engine cover is disclosed including an aluminum body having a peripheral wall defining a cavity. The peripheral wall may form a portion of the oil pump housing and the cavity may receive a steel rotor. A wear-resistant coating (e.g., steel) may cover at least a portion of the peripheral wall in a region that is configured to be contacted by the steel rotor.
