Wear and thermal analysis of AL/SI/GR Composite material applied in piston ring using ANSYS

Abstract

The piston, piston rings and cylinder liners can also work at the higher temperatures and higher pressures and it reduces the frictional losses. In this project the design of piston, piston rings and cylinder liners are modelled in solid works 2015. The alternative material is taken as Aluminium With Silicon Carbide(Sic) And Graphite Composite. Here the analysis is made in the ANSYS 14.5 software where structural and thermal analysis of the piston ring can be determined. Fabricated the al+si+gr Piston ring. Comparing the testing material requirement.
