Abstract

The mechanism of carbon blister generation was studied by using resin bonded and low temperature baked carbon, high temperature baked and resin impregnated carbon, and ductile metal Pb. As a result of high impulse starting torque tests, it was verified that carbon blisters were generated by viscous resistance of oil between sealing surfaces and that the existence of residual stresses affected the blister formation. Furthermore, it was clarified that under dry conditions, cracks were seldom generated on the inner side of resin bonded and low temperature baked carbon rings due to increasing thermal deformation.
