Abstract
A sliding engine component may include a sliding surface, and the sliding surface may include a plastic polymer-based layer disposed on a metallic substrate. The plastic polymer-based layer may have a composition including a plastic polymer-based material having distributed throughout the polymer-based material a thermochromic material configured to change color irreversibly when thermally activated by heating beyond a threshold thermal treatment condition. The polymer-based material may be cured.
