4. Conclusions
- The friction coefficient of CuSn-Cr/Fe pair was slightly lower than that of Cr/Fe pair. Wear loss of CuSn-Cr coated ring in the running-in process was higher than that of Cr coated ring, but CuSn coating consumption reduced the cylinder wear loss and provided a protection for the nodular cast iron cylinder liner.
- Based on the mean summit curvature comparison of nodular cast iron cylinder liner surface topography, the micro-asperities of cylinder liner matched with CuSn-Cr coated ring presented flatter than that of cylinder liner matched with Cr coated ring. The CuSn coating could be helpful to develop a flatter plateau structure of cylinder liner.
- The Sn patches worn from the CuSn-Cr coated piston ring was embedded into the cylinder liner surface under the heavy-duty load. It could be helpful to generate the tribo-chemical reaction film on the PRCL interface, improving the contact and friction condition among the PRCL micro-asperities.
