Abstract
Ti doped DLC coating was deposited on ductile iron disk commonly used material in small Wankel rotary engine. The friction coefficient under the working condition of apex seal was investigated. The results show that the Ti doped DLC coating is of low friction coefficient. In addition, the surface hardness and the morphology were improved by Ti doped DLC coating. After that, the Ti doped DLC coating was deposited on the housing. A performance testing platform for small Wankel rotary engine was built. The effect of Ti doped DLC coating under motored and working conditions were measured. The results show that when the operation speed varies from 7 000 to 17 000 r/min, the friction loss between apex seal and Ti doped DLC coating ranges 15~38 W under motored condition. It is only 68% of the friction loss between apex seal and ductile iron. Under working condition, the coating increases 23~78 W of the engine output power, which can improve the output power of small Wankel rotary engine by 24%~43%.
