Abstract
To analyze oil film behavior between piston and cylinder is a significant topic for reducing the friction loss in internal combustion engines. The oil film thickness is measured by LIF (Laser Induced Fluorescence) method in a visualization engine. Pattern-coating pistons with polka dots that had a difference in friction have been tested. As a result, the differences in oil film thickness by pattern coating that affects friction are observed.
