Description
Often overlooked and unsightly, they are an important part of piston performance, engine efficiency and durability. The materials used in the production of piston rings are one of the most important factors in their performance. Namuras rings are designed specifically for their application. Cylinder liner type, liner coating, engine size, and stroke (2 or 4) play a role in determining the formulation most suitable for the operating environment. While this may vary depending on the model, we’ve outlined some key features below: Compression ringsConsist of high-strength cast iron or stainless steel alloy; Both materials offer excellent wear resistance and provide a gas-tight seal. Chrome, phosphate and nitride coatings are also used to meet application requirements. Oil RingsOil rings are made up of three separate components. The two scraper guides are made of ductile iron or stainless steel alloy and are coated with chrome, nitride or phosphate. The single expansion ring is made of stainless steel. The set of rings included depends on your vehicle.
