Effect of Untampered Plasma Coating and Surface Texturing on Friction and Running-in Behavior of Piston Rings

The running-in behavior and the associated transient friction characteristics of a piston ring with different surface treatments are experimentally evaluated using a custom-made engine testing apparatus. Results are reported for a series of running-in and steady-state experiments on piston rings wit...
