Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a piston (1) for an internal combustion engine, characterised by the following method steps: producing an upper piston part (2) and a lower piston part (3) having one or more recesses (4, 4′) for forming a closed cavity (5); introducing a heat transfer medium (6), in particular one or more alkali metals, that is solid or paste-like at ambient temperature and liquid at the intended operating temperature of the piston, into the recesses (4, 4′) of the lower piston part (3) and/or of the upper piston part (2), wherein the heat transfer medium (6) is provided in order, during the operative state of the piston (1), to effect heat transport within the piston (1) by convection; closing the recesses to form the closed cavity (5) which encloses the heat transfer medium (6); and connecting the upper piston part (2) to the lower piston part (3). This enables the piston (1) to be produced in a simplified manner.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a piston ring (10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610) for pistons of internal combustion engines, having a ring running surface (14), a ring back (11), an upper ring flank (12), a lower ring flank (13), and two ring joint ends spaced apart by a gap (15). According to the invention, at least one opening (17, 121, 217, 223, 325, 407) is provided in the ring running surface (14), which opening forms a fluid connection between the ring running surface (14) and the ring back (11) or a ring flank (12, 13).
Abstract:
A cooling channel piston has a radially circumferential cooling channel located behind a ring field. The cooling channel piston is forged from a steel material and the cooling channel is worked in by machining between an upper part below the ring field and a lower part above the piston bosses and the piston skirts. The cooling channel extends behind the ring field in the direction of an upper face of the upper part, it being provided that the cooling channel piston has above its piston bosses and piston skirts an outwardly oriented support region. A closing element, which closes the cooling channel after the production thereof, is fastened between the lower edge of the ring field and the support region.
Abstract:
A vane pump is provided that may include a rotor having a plurality of slots formed on an outer circumferential surface thereof; a vane slidably inserted into each of the plurality of slots; and a cam ring configured to receive the rotor therein and having a inner circumferential surface in contact with an end portion of the vane. The rotor may be formed of nodular graphite cast iron, the vane may be formed of high speed tool steel, and the cam ring may be formed of alloy cast iron.
Abstract:
A semifinished product blank, suitable for the production of a steel piston (1) for internal combustion engines having cylinder crankcases made of light metal alloys. Such a steel piston (1) has at least one upper piston part (4) which has a combustion recess (2) and an annular wall (3), and a lower piston part (4′) which has a piston skirt (5) and a connecting rod bearing (6). The semifinished product blank is made of an austenitic steel, that is stabilized with Ni, Mn and N and that has a thermal expansion coefficient in a range of 16 to 21×10−6 K−1. Also disclosed is a steel piston, which at least has a piston skirt (5) made of an austenitic steel that is stabilzed with Ni, Mn, N. The piston skirt (5) has a thermal expansion coefficient in a range of 16 to 21×10−6 K−1.
Abstract:
A piston for an internal combustion engine is provided. The piston includes a piston body which is made of steel. The piston body has a crown portion with an upper combustion surface, a pair of skirts which depend from the crown surface, a pair of pin bosses for receiving a wrist pin and a plurality of pin boss bridges which extend from the pin bosses to the skirts. Each of the pin boss bridges extends axially to a lower end which is opposite of the crown portion and has a rib with an increased thickness at its lower end. At least one of the pin boss bridges has a generally flat counter-bore surface for providing a reference location for machining of the piston body.
Abstract:
A cylinder head is formed by positioning a clad preform including a first and second layer in a casting die cavity with the second layer in communication with the die cavity and the first layer facing outwardly to define a combustion surface. Molten material provided to the die cavity is solidified to form a cast portion metallurgically bonded to the second layer. An aperture of the preform forms a port in fluid communication with a passage of the cast portion. A plurality of dome-shaped preforms may define the combustion chambers of a cylinder head formed by the method. The preform may define a cylinder head face. The first layer may be a steel-based layer, and the second layer and cast portion may be aluminum-based, such that the first layer and combustion surface has higher thermal fatigue strength relative to the cast portion.
Abstract:
An axial piston machine includes a housing having a casting which is optimized with respect to casting. An insert ring which is optimized with respect to a pressure load is formed in the bottom of the housing. The insert ring is configured to be used with such an axial piston machine.
Abstract:
Proposed is a piston (1) for an internal combustion engine having a closed annular duct (4) which is arranged close to the piston head (5) and radially at the outside, which annular duct (4) has, at the piston head side, an annular opening (21) which, in section, has the shape of a trapezium with limbs which taper conically in the direction away from the piston head, and which is closed off by an annular closure element (3) which, in section, has the same trapezium shape as the opening (21), with the closure element (3) being fastened in the opening (21) by means of friction welding.
