Cr Coating

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.

Fatigue Characteristics

Piston ring is one of the most important parts of the internal combustion engines. This paper investigates the mechanical and twist fatigue characteristics on different piston ring materials. The piston ring materials were chosen in this study such as grey cast irons (3740 and 6140), malleable cast iron (3929), spheroidal graphite cast iron (6139) and martensitic carbidic grey cast iron (6454). Twist fatigue test was conducted on different materials of piston rings in order to identify the suitable piston ring for the effective operation. Geometrical features and the mechanical properties were also assessed in different materials for the effectiveness of piston rings.

The present paper describes the major part of a recent research investigation whose main purpose was to develop a series of novel functional coatings based on the Al2O3-SiC system that ideally would have a nanocomposite microstructure. Such coatings should be well suited for the wear protection of steel and cast-iron piston rings used in automotive internal combustion engines. Two methods were investigated: (i) plasma spraying and (ii) magnetron sputtering. The former was applied to cast-iron and plain carbon steel, whereas the latter was applied to stainless steel piston rings. The plasma sprayed coatings were porous with a hardness of 900-1150 HV, whereas the sputtered coatings were glassy and dense with a hardness of 701-788 HV. High-speed reciprocation wear tests, which simulate the piston ring/cylinder wall environment, were used to assess all coatings. CKS-36 coated cast-iron rings, one of the more common industry standards for this application, were also evaluated. Results showed these to be the most wear resistant. They were smoothly worn, possibly by a microabrasion wear process. The plasma sprayed coatings displayed two main types of wear surface: rough and smooth. The former were mainly generated by a process of grain or particle pull-out, whereas the latter resulted from a combination of microabrasion and microflaking mechanisms. The use of diamond grinding, for finishing the plasma sprayed coatings, mitigated failure through grain pull-out, but wear rates still remained slightly too high compared with uncoated stainless steel and CKS-36 coated cast-iron rings. Most of the sputtered coatings displayed varying degrees of smooth wear which was mitigated as the coating hardness increased. However, this trend was masked by sporadic coating loss through adhesive and/or cohesive failure. The creation of a gradated sputter coating having a core composition based on the Al2O3-SiC variant containing most Si and C and incorporating a bond layer enriched in Cr, adjacent the substrate, eliminated cohesive and adhesive coating failures. Future work should concentrate on the development and evaluation of sputtered crystalline Al2O3-SiC coatings and HVOF sprayed Al2O3-SiC variants. There may also be significant potential in investigating glassy Al2O3-SiC coatings containing significantly higher quantities of Si and C to those reported here.
