A simple, inexpensive, and rapid method of assessing cylinder and piston ring wear was developed. A small sample of the oil which lubricates the cylinder wall and piston rings was drawn off through a small hole in the cylinder wall. The sample was then analyzed spectrographically. Changes in wear resulting from changes in cylinder liner materials, fuels, lubricating oils, and other operating conditions were investigated. The method was found useful especially in cases of drastic differences in the wear rates. Selected examples of these studies are reported.

Transient heat transfer model of the coupling 3-D moving piston assembly-lubricant film-liner system is successfully developed for predicting the temperature distributions in the component system of internal combustion chamber, in which the effect of the friction heat generated at the piston ring/cylinder liner interfaces has been taken into account. The finite element method (FEM) is employed in the model for establishing the heat transfer relation among the moving piston assembly-lubricant film-cylinder liner. The 3-D discrete model of the coupling system is obtained by hypothesizing the lubricant film as 1-D thermal resistances and the friction heat as heat flux boundary conditions. The allocation and distribution model of friction heat on piston ring pack and liner are also established. The 3-D coupling heat transfer model has been used to analyze the heat transfer of a gasoline engine.

The cylinder liner surface finish, which is commonly produced using the honing technique, is an essential factor of engine performance. The characteristics of the texture features, including the cross-hatch angle, the plateau roughness and the groove depth, significantly affect the performance of the ring pack–cylinder liner system. However, due to the influence of the honed texture features, the surface roughness of the liner is not subject to Gaussian distribution. To simulate the mixed lubrication performance of the ring–liner system with non-Gaussian roughness, the combination of a two-scale homogenization technique and a deterministic asperities contact method is adopted. In this study, a one-dimensional homogenized mixed lubrication model is established to study the influence of groove parameters on the load-carrying capacity and the frictional performance of the piston ring–liner system. The ring profile, plateau roughness, and operating conditions are taken into consideration. The main findings are that for nonflat ring, shallow and wide groove textures are beneficial for friction reduction, and there exists an optimum groove density that makes the friction minimum; for flat ring, wide and sparse grooves help improving the tribological performance, and there exists an optimum groove depth that makes the friction minimum.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the wear behaviour of different materials for cylinder liners and piston rings in a linear reciprocating tribometer with special focus on the wear of the cylinder liner in the boundary lubrication regime. Design/methodology/approach Conventional nitrided steel, as well as diamond-like carbon and chromium nitride-coated piston rings, were tested against cast iron, AlSi and Fe-coated AlSi cylinder liners. The experiments were carried out with samples produced from original engine parts to have the original surface topography available. Radioactive tracer isotopes were used to measure cylinder liner wear continuously, enabling separation of running-in and steady-state wear. Findings A ranking of the material pairings with respect to wear behaviour of the cylinder liner was found. Post-test inspection of the cylinder samples by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed differences in the wear mechanisms for the different material combinations. The results show that the running-in and steady-state wear of the liners can be reduced by choosing the appropriate material for the piston ring. Originality/value The use of original engine parts in a closely controlled tribometer environment under realistic loading conditions, in conjunction with continuous and highly sensitive wear measurement methods and a detailed SEM analysis of the wear mechanisms, forms an intermediate step between engine testing and laboratory environment testing.
