Should a ring material be harder or softer than the cylinder material in which it works? Reason

Generally piston ring materials are made considerably harder, this has the advantage of
giving the piston ring a longer life by reducing radial wear rate consequent upon reduction of the amounts of debris, which are abrasive. In case of chrome plated or case- hardened liners, piston rings are made softer.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
