Abstract:Coating of pistons with ZrO2 and TaC improves their longevity and performance
in internal combustion engines by enhancing resistance to wear, heat, and
corrosion. In this study plasma spray coating is performed on crown of the
piston with the combination of the percentage composition namely, 95 % ZrO2
+ 5% TaC, 98 % ZrO2 + 2% TaC and 100% ZrO2. Among the three 95% ZrO2 + 5 %
TaC composition shows better results. The increase in ZrO2 content leads to
the formation of a more integrated scale wi… Show more
