To provide a high-thermal-conductivity piston ring having excellent scuffing resistance and wear resistance, which can be used in a high-heat-load environment in engines, a TiN coating as thick as 10-60 µm, in which the texture coefficient of a (220) plan...

The present invention relates to an element (1) that works sliding, of an internal combustion engine and/or a compressor that undergoes friction and receives a coating of chrome nitride having an equiaxial morphology, with low porosity (lower than 1 %) and...
