Abstract A method for manufacturing a housing casing for a rotary piston internal combustion engine, especially of trochoidal construction, as well as the housing casing made according to this method, whereby the housing casing consists of light metal whose internal running surface for the piston consists of a coating of hard material; the method thereby involves leaving during the machining of the inner wall of the housing casing a material island of such light metal about the discharge opening of the already bored or still to be bored spark-plug-firing channel, whose height corresponds at least to the thickness of the coating to be subsequently provided along the inner contour of the housing casing in the finish-machined condition; as a result thereof the area of the discharge opening of the firing channel is constituted exclusively of such light metal.
A method for producing a housing casing for a rotary piston internal combustion engine, the engine casing consisting of a light metal and including a piston running surface consisting of a coating of a hard material, and a spark-plug-firing channel terminating in the piston running surface, the method comprising the steps of: machining the inner wall of the housing casing to a predetermined contour, leaving during the machining of the inner wall of the housing casing a material island of the light metal material of the housing casing projecting out from the inner wall of the housing casing within the area assigned to the discharge opening of the spark-plug-firing channel, providing a coating of hard material along the inner contour of the housing casing in the machined condition, said material island having a height corresponding at least to the thickness of said coating material, applying the coating of the hard material provided along the inner contour of the housing casing also over the material island, and removing the portion of the hard material coating lying on the material island during the finish-machining operation of the running surface formed by the hard material coating.
