Experimental Investigation of Influence of Different Surface Textures on Wear Characteristics of Straight Type Diesel Engine Cylinders

Abstract:

To investigate antiwear properties of straight type diesel engine cylinders, an SRV IV wear tester was used to measure dynamic friction coefficient and wear depth by simulating working condition of cylinder liner and piston ring. The worn surface topography was observed through scanning electron microscope. The results show that the wear of piston ring is greater than that of cylinder in the same pair of friction. In three groups the average friction coefficient and the wear amount of honing cylinder is the minimum, followed by the smooth cylinder. The wear amount of grooves - micropitting composite textured cylinder is the maximum. The main wear form of three groups cylinders is fatigue, accompanied by two body abrasion.
