Embodiment Construction
[0025] The present invention proposes a piston ring 10 for an internal combustion engine, more particularly a compression ring for a heavy duty diesel engine.
[0026] As is known, the demands on such engines are rather high, which causes premature failure of their compression rings due to the high wear in the end area of the skins. The present invention proposes a novel compression ring 10 capable of resisting wear in the end region 4 without exposing the base material of the ring, thus maintaining a high formability at reduced cost.
[0027] To this end, the ring 10 of the invention utilizes a metal base (steel, cast iron or aluminium), the base material being provided with a chemical composition specially designed for applying an intermediate layer 2, which is a layer of wear-resistant material, preferably nitrogen Chromide, but not limited to this material, the intermediate layer is applied by thermal spraying process, preferably by high velocity spraying, comprising oxy...
