Abstract

See full text

A piston ring and a method of forming a piston ring. A masking agent is applied to a selective area on an exterior surface of a piston ring. The masking agent inhibits the subsequent application of additional coatings to the selective area on the exterior surface of the piston ring. In one form, the masking agent may inhibit the subsequent application of a nitride layer to the selective area on the exterior surface of the piston ring. A recess may be formed in an outer peripheral side of the piston ring, and a thermal spray coating may be formed within the recess in the outer peripheral side of the piston ring.
