(less fuel consumption). According to the document, this is achieved by medium of a shape memory alloy comprising 34,7 to 48,5 mole% Nickel, 9 to 22,5 mole% of any of the Zirconium and Hafnium elements and 1 to 30 mole% Niobium, the rest being titanium and the inevitable impurities.

- Japanese patent document JP 4008327 relates to a piston ring comprising an outer metal ring over a resin ring.
- the resin ring acts to reduce / control the thermal expansion of the ring, keeping it at an acceptable value from engine cold start to high speed operation.
- Japanese Patent Document JP 2004-340075 relates to a two-piece oil scraper piston ring comprising two expansion rings, each formed of a specific material, a position memory alloy with a given coefficient of thermal expansion specific and different from the other. This allows the control of the thermal expansion percentage for the ane! the various engine operating situations.
- Japanese Patent Document JP 2003-042294 refers to a piston ring to which a hard carbon coating is applied which, in addition to acting as an abrasion resistant film, has a coefficient of thermal expansion greater than or equal to [15 ⁇ 10 (-6) / ° C]. This results in proper ring behavior with respect to thermal expansion.
- 201 1/0312860 refers to a coating for the coating of wear components and high operating temperatures, such as gas turbine parts and piston rings. This coating, in addition to acting resisting abrasion, also acts as a thermal barrier to minimize loss of efficiency in high temperature operating situations.
- the coating disclosed in US 201 1/0312860 comprises a hard ceramic phase, an adhesive metal phase and a lubricating phase comprising a multi-component oxide.
- a hard ceramic phase an adhesive metal phase
- a lubricating phase comprising a multi-component oxide.
- the present invention also relates to a piston ring manufacturing process objectified above.
- a piston ring for use on the piston of an internal combustion engine or compressor having a substantially annular shape defining an inner face facing the channel, an upper face facing the chamber. combustion and substantially orthogonal to the inner face and one face substantially opposite to the second face, where a thermally insulating coating layer is provided on at least part of the surface of the upper or lower inner face.
- a process of manufacturing a piston ring as defined in the previous paragraph comprising the step of applying a thermally insulating coating layer on at least part of the upper inner face surface. or bottom of the ring.
- Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a state-of-the-art piston ring in the region of one of its free ends.
- Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of a possible embodiment of the piston ring object of the present invention in the region of one of its free ends.
- Figure 3 is a photograph of a state-of-the-art piston ring in a thermal gradient application test and its influence on changing ring geometry at a temperature of 0 ° C.
- Figure 4 is a photograph of a state-of-the-art piston ring in a thermal gradient application test and its influence on changing ring geometry at a temperature of 80 ° C.
- Figure 6 is a graph illustrating the influence of the radial temperature gradient on the ring contact pressure over its entire perimeter.
- Figure 7 is a schematic view of the bending moment applied to the free end of a piston ring due to the temperature gradient.
- Figure 8 is a schematic view of the pressure exerted on the outer surface of the ring at a temperature gradient of 0 ° C.
- Figure 9 is a schematic view of the pressure exerted on the outer surface of the ring at a temperature gradient of 20 ° C.
- Figure 10 is a schematic view of the pressure exerted on the outer surface of the ring at a temperature gradient of 30 ° C.

- ring 1 is a compression ring (or first channel ring) and further comprises an outer face 5 substantially opposite to the inner face 2 and facing the cylinder liner.
- the outer face 5 receives, in the vast majority of applications, an abrasion-resistant protective coating as it will rub against the jacket for millions of cycles.
- ring 1 may assume other configurations, such as a second channel ring, a piston compressor ring or any other.
- each free end defines the aforementioned extreme transverse face S which essentially corresponds to the cross-sectional profile of the part.
- a thermally insulating coating layer P is provided.
- a thermally insulating coating layer P is provided on at least a portion of the surface of the inner and / or upper and / or lower surfaces 2, 3, 4.
- a thermally insulating coating layer P is provided on at least one extreme transverse face S.
- the main feature of the P layer is that it is thermally insulating in order to prevent the heat from the combustion gases as a result of the explosion of the fuel-fuel mixture causing a high thermal gradient to the ring to the point where an increase in pressure exerted on the outer surface of the ring in the open position of such a mount that causes more accelerated wear of that portion of the ring.
- the coating layer P is composed of a material commonly known as YSZ, or yttrium stabilized zirconia.
- YSZ is a zirconium oxide-based ceramic material that performs well in this application, in which the crystalline structure of zirconium oxide (Zr02, known as zirconia) is kept stable at room temperature by the addition of yttrium oxide (Y2O3, known as as yttria).
- Coating layer P may be applied to part (or all) of inner face 2 to prevent heat transfer from flue gases, upper face part 3 for the same purpose and lower face part 4, in the event that the piston groove has a temperature higher than that of the ring.
- the application of the coating layer P to the inner 2 and / or upper 3 and / or lower 4 and / or extreme transverse faces S reflects the heat present therein preventing it from being absorbed by the ring body, which is especially important in the regions adjacent to the ends. ring tips. As a result, there is a lower thermal gradient and therefore no undesirable increase in pressure exerted on the outer surface of the ring in the open position.
- the coating layer P may be applied to the underside 4 in situations where the piston groove has a higher temperature than the ring and, therefore, thermal insulation is interesting for reducing the temperature gradient in the ring.
