What Is Piston Wear Testing?
Piston wear testing evaluates the friction, lubrication, and material durability between piston skirts and cylinder liners under controlled laboratory conditions. Using a Tribometer, engineers can replicate real reciprocating motion and precisely measure the coefficient of friction, wear rate, and 3D surface topography. These results provide key insights into the tribological behavior of coatings, lubricants, and alloys used in engine pistons, helping optimize performance, fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability.
