Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for producing an internal combustion engine piston having at least one cavity which is filled with an alkali metal cooling medium and is subsequently closed. The at least one cavity longitudinally extends from a central point into the piston body toward the piston circumference. The invention further discloses a piston produced according to the method.
Abstract:
A piston for an internal combustion engine includes a piston upper part and a piston lower part having a cooling channel including at least one inlet opening. A dam-type elevation is formed in the region of the at least one inlet opening through forging of the dam elevation in the cooling channel portion in the piston lower part. In one example, a funnel-shaped inlet contour is formed in the inlet opening by pre-forging. In one example, a V-shaped element is formed in the piston upper part cooling chamber portion in alignment with the inlet opening and used as a coolant jet splitter.
Abstract:
A piston, particularly a piston for use in a diesel engine, particularly a heavy duty diesel engine, is formed from a billet of metal, such that the finished piston has a mass that is at least 50%, and, more preferably, up to about 62%, of the mass of the billet. Other than finishing steps, the piston is formed with a closed gallery, without loss of mass through machining processes.
Abstract:
A method for producing a piston for an internal combustion engine may include the steps of: producing a piston main body from a first blank via a deformation process; producing a piston ring part from a second blank via at least one of a deformation process and a casting process; pre-machining the first blank and the second blank, and finish machining a welding surface of the first blank and a welding surface of the second blank; connecting the pre-machined first blank and the pre-machined second blank via a welding process to form a piston body; and performing at least one of a secondary machining and a finish machining of the piston body to produce the piston.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a piston of an internal combustion engine from a piston upper part and a piston lower part may include producing at least the piston lower part as a forged steel part. A partial cross section of a cooling duct may be provided in the piston lower part. A closed supply inlet funnel may be forged within the piston lower part. The closed supply inlet funnel may be bored into the piston lower part from the cooling duct. A borehole may be introduced into the piston lower part obliquely to a piston axis. The piston lower part and the piston upper part may be welded to one another.
Abstract:
A forging device for producing a piston blank has a forging mold that has an essentially cylindrical cavity matching the radial outer surface of the piston blank, a forging base delimiting the cavity, and a central die consisting of a mandrel that has a conically tapering extension which is mounted on the mandrel and the shape of which matches the inner surface of the piston blank. In order to form the radially outer surfaces of the piston slipper walls and a peripheral cooling pocket located radially outside the slipper walls in the piston head, the forging device has two lateral jaws which are mounted in the forging device so as to be movable at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the forging device.
Abstract:
Exemplary power cell assemblies and methods of making the same are disclosed. An exemplary power cell assembly may include a piston crown and connecting rod. In an exemplary illustration, a power cell assembly includes a piston crown having a ringland extending circumferentially about a combustion bowl. The boss portions may each include inwardly extending shoulders defining arcuate crown running surfaces. The power cell assembly may further include a connecting rod having a shank and an upper end received in a cavity of the crown. The upper end of the connecting rod may define arcuate connecting rod running surfaces extending away from the shank. The crown running surfaces and connecting rod running surfaces generally allow the connecting rod to pivot with respect to the piston crown about an axis of rotation that extends from one of the boss portions to the other of the boss portions.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a piston for a combustion engine comprising a combustion recess, during which an annular fiber preform for reinforcing the edge of the combustion recess is firstly fastened inside the casting mold. Afterwards, a low-silicon aluminum/copper melt is introduced into the casting mold by which the fiber preform is infiltrated and molded into the recess edge within the scope of the casting process. The piston blank produced in this manner is then subsequently compacted by a high-temperature isostatic pressing before the piston is completed by means of a machining completion process. The flanks and the base areas of the second and third annular groove are coated by means of anodic oxidation, and the hub boreholes are smoothed and hardened by roller-burnishing. This results in a very high-quality and heavy-duty piston.
