Study of Break-In Process and its Effects on Piston Skirt Lubrication in Internal Combustion Engines

The piston skirt is one of the main contributors to the total mechanical loss in internal combustion engines. Usually, the skirt friction experiences a rapid change during the break-in period largely due to the wear of the machine marks or roughness against soft coatings. It is thus important to con...
