The role of the honed cylinder surface in reducing friction losses in internal combustion
engine is substantial. However, the results of research on this topic are sometimes …

Tailoring the surface properties of a material for low friction and little wear has long been a
goal of tribological research. Since the microstructure of the material under the contact …

Long-term testing is crucial for evaluating renewable and non-carbon fuels for engines,

The influence of nanosecond laser pulses applied by laser shock peening without absorbent
coating (LSPwC) with a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser operating at a wavelength of λ= 1064nm …

The effect of cylinder liners on engine performance is substantial. Typically, the cylinder
surfaces were plateau honed. However, recently additional dimples or grooves were created …

For large-scale and reliable implementation of biodiesel in transportation engines, its effects
on engine wear and engine durability upon prolonged usage needs to be experimentally …

This study considers two approaches towards increasing the dry scuffing resistance of grey
cast iron (CI) cylinder bore (or liner) surfaces, namely by i) decreasing the initial roughness …

Biodiesel has emerged as a viable alternative to mineral diesel in the transport sector to
replace fossil fuels partially. However, long-term compatibility with engine hardware must be …
