🔍 Key Concepts

• Material properties of piston rings (strength, toughness, thermal expansion) • How different metals behave under high temperature and pressure in an engine cylinder • Typical failure modes of piston rings (what usually goes wrong?)

💭 Think About

• Think about why an engineer would combine two different metals in one piston ring instead of using just one very strong metal. • Which option directly relates to dealing with stresses, temperature changes, and mechanical shock on the ring? • Ask yourself: in high-speed diesel or gasoline engines, what is the most serious risk to a piston ring that bimetal construction helps to manage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is most closely tied to mechanical reliability and durability of the ring itself, not the whole engine. • Separate options that talk about overall engine performance (efficiency, fuel consumption) from those that focus on the ring’s structural behavior. • Consider how combining metals with different properties can reduce brittleness and cracking under load and temperature.
