저마찰 박막코팅 적용 타펫 부품의 마찰특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

The wear of the contact in the tappet accounts for the greatest portion of entire friction loss of an engine, leading to the occurrence of abnormal wear. The coated specimens for cam-tappet wear test were producted by using PVD-Sputtering coating method. It examined the friction characteristics occurring between the cam and the tappet by using the dedicated wear tester and found that the friction torque value was reduced through comparison testing with the existing part when the low friction coating was applied. So application of the low friction coating to actual vehicles will reduce the fuel economy and occurrence of noise-vibration.
