With the most comprehensive line of piston rings compression rings and oil rings in the world we have a piston ring for practically any application racing automotive heavy duty transportation agriculture industrial small engine and more. Chrome plated piston rings must not be installed in chrome plated cylinder liners. Steel material is used for high strength and excellent fatigue resistance. Plating of piston rings.

To provide additional strength to the piston rings some materials like chromium molybdenum vanadium titanium nickel and copper are added to them. Chrome s extreme density and hardness resists the impingement of dirt into the face of the ring which accelerates cylinder wear and actually contributes to the exhaust gases carrying some of the airborne contaminant out through the exhaust system. The rate of wear in the cylinder bore can be considerably reduced by chromium plating the top ring rather than the bore. They soak up some oil thus improving ring lubrication.
