- Abstract
A reciprocating bench test was used to evaluate the friction behaviour of cylinder liner and piston ring material for single cylinder four stroke petrol engines. The flat specimen of cylinder liner and actual piston ring segment has been used for this experimenalt work. Flat specimen prepared for this experimental work has been analysed for its composition. The lubricant was supplied into the inlet side of the contact zone. Commercial lubricants; SAE10W30, SAE20W40 and SAE20W50 are used to describe the behaviour of this test method. Variable load, variable speed, and variable temperature were taken to measure the friction coefficient. It has been concluded that the SAE10W30 offers highest friction coefficient among all lubricants for all operating parameters. The viscosity of lubricant plays a vital role to characterize the behaviour of friction.
