Typically, especially in the early days of internal combustion engines, piston rings were made using specially hardened cast iron. Nowadays various alloys of hardened nickel/chrome steel are also used.

What style of piston rings are used on caterpillar 3406?
i find the polished rings do not seal for a long time if at all. i use conventional straight lip rings.
Is there any tools used to remove the piston rings?
A simple screwdriver or anything with a point on it works fine to pry them out. I wouldn't worry about damaging them, as piston rings shouldn't be reused and are relatively cheap anyway.

What should be the composition of piston rings?
Piston rings are made of steel. They have to be hard so there is chrome in them (almost stainless!) but not hard enough to score the cylinder walls, and must be flexible to "hug" the cylinder walls to make a good compressions seal. You may want to Google this question to get a better idea of some of the materials used.
What tool is used to removed a piston?
the tool you are looking for is called a piston remover, sold at every local auto zone As the rings in the piston wear on the wall of the cylinder, a ridge forms at the top of the cylinder. This has to be removed with a Ridge Reamer. It cuts the ridge down until the cylinder is smooth otherwise the rings in the piston would catch on it and the piston cannot be removed. Once the cylinder is smooth, you can tap the piston out using the handle of a wooden handled hammer. To install the piston back in, you use a Ring Compressor that squeezes the rings into the grooves of the piston. Put lengths of plastic tubing over the Rod Bolts so that you don't nick the crankshaft and tap the piston into the cylinder with the same wooden hammer handle.
Why can transition metals be used to make electrical wires?
Their high conductivity is why transition metals are used to make electrical wires.
How do you use a C clamp to compress the piston?
You dont compress a piston with a C clamp, you use a piston ring compressor to compress the rings and tap the top with a hammer to sit it back in to the cylinder bore. The C clamp is used for compressing valve springs. *AArOn*
What are the raw materials used for piston rings?
cast iron, grey iron. so its depend on u taht what strength u wants.
What causes engine oil to burn?
Worn piston rings allows the oil that is used to lubricate the cylinder walls to enter the combustion chamber.
The purpose of the piston rings is to?
On the outside of a piston near its top are two or more grooves that hold steel piston rings. The piston rings are used to form a seal between the piston and the cylinder. The material between the ring grooves is often called the ring lands.
What type of materials used to make piston in shimmy damper?

What metals are used to make fans?
