The aim of this work is to determine the temperature of the ceramic coated aluminum piston crown used incompression ignition engine. The ceramic coating used in this experiment are stabilized magnesium zircronia and Mullite.The coating is done on the piston up to 1.5mm thickness (in three layers i.e., 0.5mm, 1mm and 1.5mm). A bond layer of0.2mm thickness consisting of NiCrAl is laid between the substrate and the ceramic coating. The temperature on thepiston crown with ceramic coatings is investigated and compared with uncoated piston using ANSYS FEA software. Thepiston model is axis-symmetric with PLANE77 elements which behave as axis-symmetric elements. It is observed that thetemperature on the coated piston crown is high when compared with the uncoated piston and also the temperatureincreases with increase in the coating thickness. By achieving higher temperature on the piston crown, the combustionchamber temperature increases thereby, increasing high thermal efficiency. The piston body temperature is also reducedwith the increase of coating thickness.
