EFFECT OF CONSTRUCTIONAL CHANGE IN I.C ENGINE PISTON BY PARTIALLY CERAMIC COATING
Keywords:
-Abstract
To modify the construction of the piston in S.I. engine is the main goal of this project. Modifying the
construction improves the engine operating parameters.As a consequence, the durability of the piston gets reduced. In
order to increase the durability of the piston, “Partially ceramic coating” is given on the piston.
Thermal analysis is to be investigated on a conventional (uncoated) SI engine piston, made of AlSi alloy and steel.
Secondly, thermal analysis is to be performed on piston, coated with MgO-ZrO2 material by means of using a
commercial code, namely ANSYS. Finally, the results of different pistons will be compared. The effects of coatings on the
thermal behaviour of the piston are to be investigated and improved.
