WEAR OF THE CONNECTING ROD-PISTON FRICTION PAIRS OF THE CAR IN OIL STARVATION MODE
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The paper considers the connecting rod-piston group of a car engine, in particular, the conical and connecting rod necks. It is shown that in the oil starvation mode, the crankshaft and connecting rod necks are subject to wear and lead to engine malfunction and shutdown. It is found that oil starvation occurred as a result of the discrepancy between the manufacture material and the hardness of the third necks in the third connecting rod bearing. It is shown that the cause of the accidental wear of the parts of the third connecting rod bearing (inserts and connecting rod neck) are defects in the manufacture of the crankshaft associated with the use of poor-quality structural material with an inhomogeneous structure (with non-metallic inclusions), as well as non–compliance with the manufacturing technology of the crankshaft (surface hardening technology - induction hardening).
