Abstract

Purpose: The conducted tests were aimed at determining whether the tested material meets the requirements for wear resistance in modern turbocharged combustion engines where there is an increased temperature and higher pressure. Design/methodology/approach: The tests were performed in a pin-on-disc system, according to the ASTM G 99 standard. Findings: The article presents the results of the coefficient of friction, the amount of wear, chemical analysis and surface profile of the tested material A390.0 in combination with EN GJL-350 cast iron. Research limitations/implications: The tested materials are used in the construction of pistons for internal combustion engines, therefore the test parameters were selected to take into account the operating conditions in a turbocharged engine with a power of up to 100 kW. Practical implications: After analysing the properties of the A390.0 alloy at elevated temperatures, it was found that without additional modifications, the alloy cannot be used in modern combustion engines, in particular with turbocharging. Originality/value: Presents the results of research concerning mechanical properties (HB, HV, Rm) and yield properties (R0.2, A5, Z) of the examined alloy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
