Cylinders for Piston Engines go through a final process of grinding and honing to achieve a surface finish that is fine enough to prevent as much friction as possible yet rough enough for holding engine oil for lubrication between the Cylinder and the Piston.
The required Surface Finish is around Ra 0.4 micro meters.
It is possible to achieve such surface finish with wire EDM (with no need for grinding and honing).
If anyone knows anything about the suitability of Wire EDM to create a good lubrication retention surface it will be of great help.
