In order to investigate the friction and wear behavior between the nodular cast iron cylinder liner (Fe) and CuSn coated piston ring under heavy-duty conditions, piston rings with chromium(Cr) coating and CuSn-Cr coating were tested using the piston ring reciprocating liner test rig at the simulated working conditions of 56 MPa, 200 r/min, 190 °C. Compared with the Cr/Fe pair, the CuSn coating consumption of the CuSn-Cr/Fe pair made friction coefficient and cylinder wear loss decrease by 2.8% and 51.5%, respectively. Different size Sn patches worn from the CuSn coated piston ring were embedded into the cylinder liner surface based on the surface topography. This process was shown to reduce the surface roughness of a cylinder liner and form flatter plateau structures. Chemical elements analysis indicated that plateau structures on the cylinder liner surface matched with CuSn-Cr coated ring are helpful to promote the tribo-chemical reaction and generate the reactive products to protect the mutually contacted asperities.

This work investigates the effect of convexity position of ring barrel surface on the wear properties and scuffing resistance of the Cr–Al2O3 coated piston rings against with the CuNiCr cast iron cylinder liner. The scuffed surface morphology and elements distribution as well as the oil film edge were analyzed to explore the influencing mechanism of the convexity position on the scuffing resistance. The results show that the convexity offset rate on the barrel surface of the ring has no noticeable influence on both friction coefficient and wear loss near the dead points, but a suitable convexity position will result in the improved scuffing resistance. The shape of the barrel face not only affects the worn area on the ring, but also determines the oil film wedge and pressure distribution, consequently influences the scuffing resistance.

Heavy Duty Diesel

Internal combustion engines consume about 90% of fuel refined from crude oil which supplies 30% of the annual global flow of energy. Heavy-duty diesel engines are the primary source of power used in highways, marine, railroads, and power stations. The right coating can improve the tribological properties of cylinder liners and increase the mechanical efficiency of an engine. Also, it can help to extend the maintenance periods, and enhance the reliability of the vehicles. In this research, tribological and economic evaluations were performed for coated and uncoated substrates from a cylinder liner of a heavy-duty diesel engine, aiming to lower friction, wear rate, and maintenance cost. A reciprocating friction test was conducted under dry condition using Wolfram carbide (tungsten carbide) ball applied a 10 N normal load on a ball on disk geometry. The cylinder liner was made of gray cast iron, and the substrates obtained were coated with three different coating materials (Cr3C2/NiCr, NiCr, and Al2O3/TiO2) through the thermal spray and high-velocity oxy-fuel coating process. Tribological evaluations showed that the substrates coded with Al2O3/TiO2 and Cr3C2/NiCr had the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate. The most economical coating was Al2O3/TiO2, being able to supply about 61% lower coefficient of friction and 94% less wear rate relative to the uncoated sample, for the price of one-third of the Cr3C2/NiCr coating and one half of a new gray cast iron cylinder liner.

This paper presents a new lubrication model to predict piston ring friction. The average Reynolds equation is adopted to obtain the hydrodynamic component of restoring force against the cylinder liner surface. The dry or boundary lubricated component is derived from Greenwood-Tripp model. The influence of surface irregularities or roughness on the lubricant flow will be described by statistical parameters. Unlike classical piston ring mixed lubrication models, a sideslip rolling friction model is incorporated with contact simulation. Numerical results show that piston ring friction is reduced dramatically by the liner rotation.

Aiming at a large marine diesel engine, a mathematical model for the 3-D elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis of piston ring-cylinder liner was presented. The average Reynolds equation and asperity contact approach were combined with the elastic deformation equation. The asymmetry in the circumferential direction, gas blowby and the effect of temperature and pressure on the oil density and viscosity were considered. The 3-D wear simulation of piston ring-cylinder liner was performed when the diesel engine was operated under warm start and cold start conditions, respectively. The 3-D distribution rules show that the first gas ring has the biggest wear loss, and the maximum wear loss of cylinder liner occurs in the vicinity of TDCF. Finally, the results matched well with the wear measurements, and it indicates the present method is effective and can help engineers to improve the tribological performance of the diesel engine.

In this work, the friction and wear of poly-alpha-olefin (PAO10) base oil with 3 wt. % boron nitride (BN), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles were studied. The formulations were tested using cast iron cylinder-liner segments reciprocating against aluminum alloy piston-skirt segments at 20, 40, and 100°C. The results showed that at a load of 250 N and reciprocating frequency of 2 Hz BN did not lower friction, whereas MoS2 nanoparticles were very effective at reducing both friction and wear, compared to the base oil. Raman spectroscopy showed the formation of an aligned MoS2 layer on the cast iron liner surface, which functioned as a tribofilm. In the case of the cast iron liner tested with BN nanolubricant there were no traces of BN that could be related to tribofilm formation. The effect of surfactant was also studied and it was found that not only it was beneficial in dispersing the nanoparticles in oil, but also produced some reduction in friction and wear even as stand-alone additive in PAO10.

Coated Cylinder

The heavy duty diesel (HDD) engine market continues to strive for improvements in engine efficiency and durability which places ever increasing development demands on the power cylinder unit. One of the methods being developed to help meet these demands is coated cylinder bore technology. By applying a coating to the inner diameter surface of a cylinder liner the wear on the liner can be significantly reduced. The reduction in liner wear is not however the only advantage that this technology can offer. Liner coatings can also offer corrosion protection, reductions in wear on the running surface of the rings, improved scuff resistance, and enable improvements in the efficiency of the engine. New piston ring technologies will be valuable in maximizing these advantages and their contribution will be detailed. The system must be properly designed to take full advantage of all of these opportunities. In this paper both the advantages and difficulties coated liners present will be explored by evaluating the impact on the liner, rings and the fuel consumption. This paper will additionally provide details regarding the different liner coating technologies being developed today. To support these recommendations the system’s performance characteristics will be demonstrated through rig testing and engine performance measurements.

Demands for decreased environmental impact from vehicles are resulting in a strong push for decreased engine oil, fuel consumption and weight. New machining and coating technologies have offered ways to attack these problems. Engine oil and fuel consumption are to a great extent controlled by the topography of the cylinder liner surface and it is therefore important to optimise this surface. Recent engine tests have shown a reduction in oil consumption when using cylinder liners with a smoother finish than that given by the current plateau honing. However, engine manufacturers are hesitant to introduce smoother liner surfaces because of fears of severe wear and scuffing. There is also the possibility that smoother liner surfaces may be more sensitive to the choice of piston ring finishes. This paper therefore seeks to investigate the functional performance and resistance to wear of these smooth cylinder liners and the mating top ring surfaces.

The aluminum–silicon alloy cylinder liner shows great potential for engine cylinder liner applications as its excellent castability, light weight, and good thermal conductivity. In order to improve the capability of the whole friction system further, the friction performance of the piston rings wear against cylinder liner should be discussed in details. In this paper, the wear behavior of the aluminum–silicon alloy cylinder liner wear against Chrom–Keramik–Schicht (CKS) piston ring was carried out by the contraposition reciprocating test rig under lubrication. The surface morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. When CKS piston ring wears against aluminum–silicon alloy cylinder liner, comparing with sprayed molybdenum piston ring, the friction coefficient reduced nearly 10%. Besides, the weight loss of cylinder liner and piston ring reduced nearly 95%. In the process of friction, aluminum was rolled repeatedly on the surface of cylinder liner. And the honing roads were still visible clearly on the worn surface. The coating of CKS piston ring is dense, lower roughness and higher hardness, and not easy to fall off. While the worn surface of CKS piston ring was smooth in the process of adhesive wear. When the aluminum–silicon alloy cylinder liner wears against CKS piston ring, the matched pair presents an excellent wear behavior.
