The cylinder pressure from 50 to 75 percent and eventually to 100 percent load will place additional pressure on the back side of the rings which will quickly establish the proper wear pattern for seating.

Moly has a very high resistance to scuff.
Plain cast iron is a durable wear surface in normal operating conditions and is less costly than the moly or chrome faced ring.
Economy ring sets typically feature the same material formulations and designs as premium ring but do not have ring face coatings.
The material that s referred to the ring facing or the portion of the ring that runs against the cylinder wall.
As a result sometimes moly rings are a replacement for oem chrome faced rings.
Chrome has good resistance to scuff but does not exhibit moly s oil retention capabilities.
The ring s job is to seal all the gases it can on the top side of the piston from escaping to the bottom side of the piston and into the crankcase.
With today s rings especially moly faced versions this can be achieved in a very short period of time and certainly within 20 to 30.
As a result an economy ring set will likely require replacement in 50 000 to 60 000 miles compared to the 100 000 plus mile.
But all top rings are cast iron either plain or ductile.
