A series of heavy-duty diesel, fired engine tests were run using coated valve train components in combination with low emission diesel engine crankcase oils. Examination of coated rocker arm and corresponding, uncoated crosshead surfaces, showed that greater crosshead wear was encountered using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) chromium nitride coating, as compared with that observed using a tungsten carbide PVD composition, or an uncoated rocker arm surface. Good coating adhesion was observed with both coatings, with no adverse effects on neighboring, uncoated surfaces. Tungsten carbide in combination with the first of two low-emission engine oils out performed either of the oils used in combination with chromium nitride. Test parameters are summarized along with key engine data obtained. Observations from surface characterization of representative rocker arm and mating crosshead components, using optical and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry also are highlighted and discussed.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.
