Surface Modification of Piston Ring, Improvement of Wear Resistance using Liquid Nitriding

Abstract

The research is to optimize metallurgical properties and to improve the manufacturing route of the piston ring. Salt bath nitriding or liquid nitriding process was used in this work for surface treatment of gasoline engine piston ring. Piston ring in an engine makes an important contribution to high volumetric efficiency by properly sealing the cylinder bore and piston. The main function of piston ring is to seal between the combustion chamber and the crankcase of the engine. Selective nitriding of thin wall gasoline piston ring is very important because the surface side are deleterious to the engine performance. Nitriding provide that selective nitriding is possible using a simple mounting system, leading to homogeneous properties on both inner and outer diameter surface. Only a diffusion zone without grain boundaries nitrides, composes of nitride microstructure.
