Abstract

See full text

A piston assembly for an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder bore and a piston having a plurality of ring grooves, and a ring positioned within a ring groove. The ring includes a cross-section having a lower surface and an outer radial surface that form a scraping corner, an inner radial surface, and an upper surface. The upper surface and the lower surface are generally parallel with one another, and both upper and lower surfaces form a positive first angle with respect to a radial axis, and the outer radial surface forms a second positive angle with respect to a central axis. A constant twist occurs in the ring about a rotational center of the cross-section, the constant twist occurring at each cross-sectional location of the ring about the circumference of the ring and between adjacent free ends of the ring.
