INRODUCTION

What are rings?

Rings are circular cast iron structured rings used in pistons of
cylinders of an engine to safeguard the engine from sealing action and
releasing of gases produced during power stroke of cylinder of an
engine.

Piston Rings perform three main tasks:

1. . They seal the combustion space.
2. . They spread the LO up and down the liner.
3. . They transfer heat from the piston to the liner

Materials used for making rings:

Generally speaking the piston ring must be harder than the liner in
which it runs. Rings are cast and machined from grey cast iron.
This may include some additions such as chromium, molybdenum,
vanadium, titanium, nickel and copper.
In some engines nodular or spheroidal graphite iron is used, which
has greater hardness and tensile strength, as has vermicular or
compact graphite cast iron, the use of which is becoming more
widespread.
Alloying elements such as titanium and vanadium form hard insoluble
carbides within the matrix.

Manufacture

 The primary sealing effect of the piston ring is achieved by the

inherent tension of the ring which makes it contact the cylinder
wall around its whole circumference.
Two methods are used today; the thermally tensioned ring and
the oval pot cam turning method.
The cheaper method employed mainly for small engines is the
Thermally tensioned Ring. In this method the ring is
machined from a circular pot to the cylinder diameter. Process
involved in this method are as follows:
1. Facing and turning
2. Parting
3. Burring
4. Surfacing
5. Inspection
6. Again surfacing
7. Auding
8. Marking
9. Inspection
