The fuel consumption of a modern combustion engine is one of the
most important purchase criteria in contemporary society.
Increasing oil prices and exhaust emissions taxes force the
automotive industry to continuously improve the vehicle engines.
The fuel consumption is closely related to the frictional losses of
an engine. New material pairings or constructive modifications of
the piston group can reduce such losses. Another innovative concept
to lower the frictional forces is the micro-structuring of
thermo-mechanically highly stressed surfaces. Within an
interdisciplinary research group sponsored by the German Research
Foundation, scientists at the Leibniz Universität Hannover and
Universität Kassel have been working together to investigate this
research topic. This final report presents their findings and
offers scope for further discussion.
