An outer peripheral surface of a piston ring has a cut surface provided to form a cutout portion between an outer peripheral end portion and a lower surface, the cut surface includes a curved concave surface, an inclination angle of a tangent of the curved concave surface at a point closest to the combustion chamber side on the curved concave surface, with respect to a first virtual line extending in parallel to the lower surface is equal to or greater than 5° and equal to or less than 50°, and in a case where an axial direction width of the piston ring is set as h1, and an axial direction width of the cut surface is set as H, H/h1 is equal to or greater than 0.2 and equal to or less than 0.4.

Piston ring

In a surface of a wire, a first side surface forming an outer circumferential surface in a piston ring includes a tapered surface and a protruding surface, the protruding surface is divided into a first part and a second part by a first virtual surface extending from the tapered surface, and the first part includes a top and is formed in a protruding shape.
