Piston Ring Dynamic Loading And Wear (Service Life)
Piston ring dynamic loading occurs in addition an axial motion of the piston ring caused by the interactions of gas, mass, and friction forces.

Piston Liner Scratches
Piston / liner scratches caused by foreign particles, like dirt, debris or metal shavings, occur when abrasive foreign bodies in the engine oil.

Piston Ring Scratches And Breaks
Piston ring scratches and edge breaks is rare to see especially after very short run, some of the scratch or breaks can feel with a fingernail, or only can be seen from magnifier

Early Stage Liner Scratch
Scratches on liner is a very common failure type, which can lead to severe issues, such as increased oil consumption, loss of compression, and accelerated wear on the piston rings.

Ring Material Change And Importance Of Ring Back Clearance.
Recent years there is tendency to change the ring material from a grey cast iron top ring to a carbon steel top ring.

Measurement And Assessment Of Ring Grooves
Axial clearance is typically checked by inserting a feeler gauge between the ring and the top of the ring groove.

Piston Ring Requirement And Introduction
Piston rings for current internal combustion engines have to meet all the requirements of a dynamic seal for linear motion that operates under demanding thermal and chemical conditions.
