The ring seating process is accomplished by actual metal to metal contact between the ring and the cylinder wall. And the aterials typically used are cast iron moly chrome or ceramic.

As a result sometimes moly rings are a replacement for oem chrome faced rings. Moly has a very high resistance to scuff. 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.

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. Chrome has good resistance to scuff but does not exhibit moly s oil retention capabilities. Economy ring sets typically feature the same material formulations and designs as premium ring but do not have ring face coatings.
