This paper presents the impact of coating topography in piston ring-liner conjunction under mixed regime of lubrication using low viscosity oils. The study provides a time efficient analytical model including mixed-hydrodynamics regime of lubrication under different contact conditions. The method modified the expressions of the contact load and area of Greenwood-Tripp model in order to capture the real asperities interaction into contact. The model represents the tribological behavior of a thin top ring at Top Dead Centre, where boundary and mixed conditions are predominant. Electroplated CrN and PVD TiN coated rings were studied to predict the ring friction. The results are compared with an uncoated steel ring. The CrN coating shows slighter coefficient of friction, due to the coating morphology and roughness parameters. The TiN coating presents thicker lubricant films and higher coefficient of friction because the surface topography is quite rough with high peaks. This can be explained because of the major contribution of the roughness parameter and asperity slope in the boundary friction prediction.
