Abstract
Studies on the effect of surface texture on cylinder liner wear is of great importance in many research areas due to the fact that a major part of the mechanical power losses in an engine are caused by friction in the piston-cylinder liner system. Interest from both manufacturers and customers in optimizing this mechanical system seems to be similar. The surface roughness of cylinder liners plays an important role in the control of tribological properties. Cylinder liner surface topography, which affects running-in duration, oil consumption, exhaust gas emissions and engine performance as well, was taken into detailed consideration in this paper. They were measured with a stylus (Talyscan 150) or non-contact—optical (Talysurf CCI Lite white light interferometer) equipment. Precise machining process and accurate measurement equipment may not provide relevant information about surface texture properties when the procedure of processing of received (raw) measured data is not selected appropriately. This work aims to compare various type of procedures for detection and reduction of some-frequency surface topography measurement errors (noise) and consider its influence on the results of wear analysis. It was found that assessments of some extracted areas (profiles) may be much more useful than the characterization of the whole of measured details when noise was defined. Moreover, applications of a commonly-used algorithm, available in the commercial software of the measuring equipment, for measurement errors suppression may be potentially decisive in the definition of measurement noise but, simultaneously, scrupulous attention should be paid if they are implemented adequately.
