Understanding the mechanism of cylinder bore and ring wear in methanol fueled SI engines

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6875463
; ;
One of the major problems created by the use of methanol fuels in SI engines is the high cylinder bore and ring wear rates observed during operation at low engine temperatures. The objective of the work reported in this paper was to identify the processes controlling the corrosion/wear mechanism in methanol-fueled, spark-ignition engines. Basically, three different types of experiments were performed during this project.
