Abstract: A starved lubrication experiment and analytical model have been developed to investigate the friction condition transition (FCT) at the interface between a piston ring and a cylinder liner with the piston ring reciprocating ...

Abstract: To enhance the friction property of Al–Si alloy cylinder liner in running-in period, MoS2 coatings were electrodeposited on the chemical-etched surface of cylinder liner. The friction coefficient decreased by 15% comparing ...

Abstract: 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 ...
