Current trends in engine design, such as higher operating temperatures and the enhanced use of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in diesel engines, and legislative and consumer pressures on lubricants, such as the requirement for reduced levels of phosphorous and extended oil drain intervals, are detrimental to the piston assembly. Future engines will require more wear resistant surfaces in the piston assembly with minimal scope for rapid running-in of the components for establish optimisation on behalf of the engine designer and compatibility issues for the lubricant formulator as iron based materials become less common. In this paper a review is presented of the current understanding of piston assembly tribology in order to contribute to methods of future design optimisation.
