Effect of surface treatment to inserted ring on Al–Fe bonding layer of aluminium piston with reinforced cast iron ring

In order to improve the bonding strength between piston alloys and cast iron ring of aluminum piston with reinforced cast iron ring,the different methods of the surface treatments(shot blasting and sand blasting) to the cast iron ring are experimented.The optical micrograph shows that an intermetallic layer and a ligulate shaped structure are formed between piston alloys and cast iron base ring.After sand blasting treatment,the ring surface is non-metal shiny,matte-like and has no obvious pits.The intermetallic layer thickness formed between piston alloys and cast iron is thinner and more equally distributed after sand blasting to the ring.The content of the graphite distributed the interfacial zone after the shot blasting treatment is little.With the increase of time by sand blasting,the hardness starts to slightly descend.The bonding strength of the sample by sand blasting is obviously higher than that by shot blasting and increases from 9.32 MPa to 19.53 MPa.

内燃机活塞环材料及其表面处理

活塞环在发动机中起着密封、控油、导热、支撑的作用,活塞环材料应具备良好的耐磨性、耐热性、耐蚀性、强韧性、导热性、工艺制造性以及与气缸材料的磨合性。球墨铸铁和钢材已经成为活塞环的基本材料,采用表面处理方法如镀铬、氮化、喷钼、喷涂陶瓷层等工艺进行表面改性来提高活塞环的使用性能。需要不断地研究和开发新型活塞环材料和表面处理工艺来满足发动机的发展需要。
