The invention relates to a
piston ring and a surface spongy
tin plating technique thereof. The technical scheme thereof is as follows: the surface of a
piston ring body is provided with a
chromium plating layer, the outer surface of the
chromium plating layer is provided with a spongy
reticulate pattern, and the outer surface of the spongy
reticulate pattern is provided with a
tin plating layer. The invention comprises the following procedures: preplating,
etching,
chromium plating, washing, removal of
hydrogen, hole loosing, washing and
drying and
tin plating treatment. The invention utilizes a
reticulate pattern groove on the surface of the
piston ring to store lubricating oil, thus greatly reducing the
friction coefficient between the
piston ring and a cylinder sleeve, improving oil absorbing property, and prolonging the service life of the
piston ring and the cylinder sleeve; and compared with the prior art, the invention prolongs the service life of the
piston ring and the cylinder sleeve by more than three thousand hours, improves the power of an
internal combustion engine by more than 30 percent, saves oil by 25 percent, is capable of reducing the exhaust amount of gas /
smoke of the
internal combustion engine, reduces the environment requirements of
atmosphere pollution, solves the
mechanical wear of the piston ring during running-in period and obtains more perfect use performances.
