  • LATERAL SIDE PROTECTION OF A PISTON RING WITH A THERMALLY SPRAYED COATING
    Publication number: 20090174150
    Abstract: A piston ring is disclosed that includes a radially extending upper surface, a radially extending lower surface, a radially innermost surface extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, and a radially outermost surface extending between the upper surface and the lower surface. The lower surface includes a thermally sprayed coating, and both the radially outermost surface and the upper surface lack the coating. Accordingly, the thermally sprayed coating may generally be applied solely to the lower radially extending surface of the ring.

  • Wear resistant coating for piston rings
    Patent number: 6562480
    Abstract: A wear resistant coating for protecting surfaces undergoing sliding contact is disclosed. The wear resistant coating is applied by high velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) deposition of a powdered blend of the coating constituents. The powdered blend includes a nickel-chromium alloy, chromium carbide, and molybdenum. The disclosed coating should find use as a bearing surface on piston rings, cylinder liners, and other components of a power cylinder assembly of an internal combustion engine.
