Rising demands for ecologically friendly automotive engines require a significant decrease in fuel consumption and emissions. Also the recent trend of downsizing engines demands for high performance materials for internal combustion engine applications. Tribologically functional coatings applied by supersonic flame spraying help in boosting the engine efficiency by reducing the internal friction and improving the durability and wear resistance of the cylinder running surface much-needed for engine downsizing tasks together with a high corrosion resistance enabling the use of bio fuels. In addition, the tailored surface topography of the thermal spray coatings help in supporting advantageous friction states and thereby show the benefit of reducing the oil consumption resulting in reduced emissions. The thermally sprayed coatings were applied using HVOF and HVSFS processes together with a specially designed spray gun trajectory in order to achieve a fast and cost efficient coating procedure. Several different coating materials, including novel nanostructured powders, have been investigated and compared to state-of-the-art cylinder liners. The performance of the coated cylinder liners regarding wear and corrosion resistance, friction coefficient and effects of the surface topography have been investigated in various test setups including engine tests.

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.

The paper presents direct measurement of in-cylinder friction from a single cylinder motocross race engine under motored conditions and compares the same with a new analytical predictive method. These conditions are encountered in piston–cylinder system with the application of cylinder deactivation (CDA) technology, which is a growing trend. The analytical method takes into account the various regions within instantaneous contact of compression ring–cylinder liner, including lubricant film rupture, cavitation zone and the subsequent lubricant film reformation. The analysis also includes the effect of boundary friction and lubricant rheology. The predictions and direct measurements of cyclic friction show good agreement and indicate dominance of viscous friction under the investigated engine running conditions. In particular, it is shown that the compression ring contribution to in-cycle friction is most pronounced in the region of high cylinder pressures because of combined Poiseuille friction and some boundary solid interactions. The combined experimental-analytical approach has not hitherto been reported in literature.

Purpose During running-in, the change in the honed cylinder liner surface alters the performance and efficiency of the piston ring-pack system. The present paper, thus, aims to investigate the surface topography and wear and friction evolution of a cylinder liner surface during the running-in tests on a reciprocating ring–liner tribometer under a mixed lubrication regime. After an initial period of rapid wear termed “running-in wear”, a relatively long-term steady-state surface topography can emerge. A numerical model is developed to predict the frictional performance of a piston ring-pack system at the initial and steady-state stages. Design/methodology/approach The liner surfaces are produced by slide honing (SH) and plateau honing (PH). The bearing area parameter (Rk family), commonly used in the automotive industry, is used to quantitatively characterize the surface topography change during the running-in process. A wear volume-sensitive surface roughness parameter, Rktot, is used to show the wear evolution. Findings The experimental results show that a slide-honed surface leads to reduced wear, and it reduces the costly running-in period compared to the plateau-honed surface. The simulation results show that running-in is a beneficial wear process that leads to a reduced friction mean effective pressure at the steady-state. Originality/value To simulate the mixed lubrication performance of a ring–liner system with non-Gaussian roughness, a one-dimensional homogenized mixed lubrication model was established. The real surface topography instead of its statistical properties is taken into account.

The cylinder liner surface texture, widely generated by the honing technique, contributes a lot on engine functional performances (friction, oil consumption, running-in, wear etc.). In order to improve these functional performances, different honing processes are being developed. These different honing processes generate surfaces with various texture features characteristics (roughness, valleys depth, valley width, cross hatch angle, etc.). This paper addresses a comparison of ring-pack friction for cylinder texture with different cross-hatch angles and valley sizes. It takes in consideration the mutual effect of valley depth and honing angle. A numerical model is developed to predict friction within the cylinder ring-pack system in mixed lubrication regime and a morphological method is used to characterize groove depth. The results show the effect of different honing variables (rotation speed, stroke speed and indentation pressure) on cylinder bore surface textures and hydrodynamic friction of the ring-pack system.
