Design and Investigation of Ceramic Coating on Piston Crown

Abstract

A ceramic-coated piston may increase the cylinder's material properties. This paper examines the tri biological effects of a cylinder's surface coating in a frictional process. A cylinder in a diesel engine will be plasma-sprayed with Zirconia material, and its surface conductivity will be measured to improve thermal efficiency. The piston is designed and analysed using modern CAD tools. A test is run to see how a coating affects the engine's performance. The thermal productivity and efficiency of uncoated and coated cylinders were evaluated. The results suggest that zirconia-coated cylinders are more efficient.
