In this paper, the possibility of implementation of the infrared thermography as a technical systems’ diagnostic method is investigated. The infrared thermography as a contemporary method was used for visualization of the working conditions in the piston of an automotive engine as well as for analyzing of the thermal changes the piston sustained under exploitation. The obtained results were used to define the properties of the alloy used for production of the piston for a highly loaded diesel engine. In such way, the problems caused by erroneous choice of the material could be avoided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
