    摘要: A piston ring includes a body portion presenting a running surface, and a spring member disposed between the body portion and a ring groove of a piston. A running surface of the piston ring presents an upper rail, a lower rail, and a fulcrum disposed between the rails and each extending radially outwardly. An outermost tip of the fulcrum is disposed radially outwardly relative to an outermost surface of the rails, and the running surface presents a convex shape along the fulcrum. The fulcrum contacts an oil film applied to a cylinder wall as the piston reciprocates along the cylinder wall. The spring member presses the body portion of the piston ring toward the cylinder wall and causes the body portion to pivot about the fulcrum to provide for improved control of the oil film, less friction, and reduced oil consumption.

    摘要: The invention provides a low tension piston ring having a finished outer diameter and negligible tangential tension. The method includes the steps of machining a stock bar to an initial outer diameter slightly greater than the finished outer diameter of the piston ring, finishing the initial outer diameter of the stock bar to a rounded profile having a nominal diameter equal to the finished outer diameter, and machining the stock bar to the preferred cross-section. Dykes-type piston rings can have keystone or semi-keystone shaped cross-sections. The method continues by detaching the piston ring from the stock bar using a parting tool in response to completing all tension inducing operations including the steps recited above. The method continues with the steps of lapping the piston ring to a final longitudinal thickness and cutting the piston ring longitudinally to form a final gap.

    摘要: A piston assembly and method of construction thereof for an internal combustion engine are provided. The assembly includes a piston head having an upper combustion wall with an undercrown surface and a ring belt region. The piston head has a floor with an upper surface and a bottom surface. The floor is spaced beneath the upper combustion wall in radial alignment with the ring belt region. A substantially enclosed, annular cooling gallery is bounded by the undercrown surface and the floor. A pair of pin bores depends directly from the floor of the cooling gallery. The assembly further includes a pin having ends configured for oscillating receipt in the pin bores. A pin bearing surface extends within the pin bores and between the pin bores in the lower surface of the floor. The assembly includes a connecting rod with an end fixed to the pin for conjoint oscillation therewith.

    摘要: A steel piston with anti-coking design features is provided. The piston includes an upper crown portion and a lower crown portion forming an outer cooling gallery therebetween. The outer cooling gallery is substantially closed except for an oil inlet, oil outlet, and optional oil passage(s) to a central cooling gallery. According to one embodiment, at least one anti-coking insert is disposed in the outer cooling gallery and sized to prevent escaping through the oil inlet or the oil outlet. For example, the insert(s) can comprise a helical coil, a plurality of steel balls, coil springs, or chips formed of polymer with abrasive filler. Alternatively, an outer gallery floor to the outer cooling gallery includes a plurality of anti-coking openings disposed sequentially in decreasing spaced relation from one another, or anti-coking openings with varying lengths.

    摘要: A component for exposure to a combustion chamber of a diesel engine and/or exhaust gas, such as a cylinder liner or valve face, is provided. The component includes a thermal barrier coating applied to a body portion formed of steel. A layer of a metal bond material is first applied, followed by a gradient structure including a mixture of the metal bond material and a ceramic material, followed by a layer of the ceramic material. The ceramic material includes at least one of ceria, ceria stabilized zirconia, yttria stabilized zirconia, calcia stabilized zirconia, magnesia stabilized zirconia, and zirconia stabilized by another oxide. The thermal barrier coating is applied by thermal spray or HVOF. The thermal barrier coating has a porosity of 2% by vol. to 25% vol., a thickness of less than 1 mm, and a thermal conductivity of less than 1.00 W/m·K.
