Technology

Which consequence occurs when excessive cylinder pressure overcomes boundary lubrication in a piston?

A)Piston ring micro-welding occurs
B)Increased valve float oscillation
C)Catalytic converter poisoning begins
D)Crankshaft journal hardening ceases

💡 Explanation

Piston ring micro-welding arises from asperity contact leading to adhesion because when boundary lubrication fails, direct metallic contact results in intense heat and localized welding; therefore, rings weld, rather than simply scoring, because pressures overcome the oil film, promoting adhesion.
