Abstract:
A piston ring may include a drawn metal base of constant thickness having an outer peripheral surface. The piston ring may also include a hard coating disposed on the outer peripheral surface. The coating may have a thickness that is greater in a region of two butt ends of the base than a thickness of the coating in another region of the outer peripheral surface. The coating may be defined by a plurality of layers with a nanoscale structure.
