In general,internal combustion engine rings are made of very fine grain cast. Oil rings may be C.I. or steel.Some rings are chrome plated. Reciprocating pump,gas compressor and other machinery may use a wide variety of differing materials for piston rings such as micarta,simsite, brass and etcetra, depending upon requirements.Large steam engines of the past often used cast iron segmented piston rings that were adjustable for wear.These rings were generally employed in cylinders 60 inches in diameter OR LARGER and were adjusted with an arangement of very heavy springs on the back side of the rings.The rings were held in place with an removeable follower plate which was bolted down over the rings.
