Abstract: A soluble and substantially ring-shaped casting core may include a cooling channel in a piston having at least one inflow and at least one outflow. The casting core may form a closed ring and the inflow may be arranged directly adjacent to the outflow. The casting core may have a cross-sectional taper for forming a choke in the circumferential direction between the inflow and the outflow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a soluble and essentially annular casting core (2) for forming a cooling channel that transitions into two areas (14, 15) which are approximately parallel to the piston axis (16) and are facing away from the piston head (3), via a respective bending of the core (17, 18) in the shape of a quadrant, wherein the second area (14) transitions into a part of the casting core (2) that forms the feed opening (12) of the cooling channel, and the first area (15) transitions into a part of the casting core (2) that forms the discharge opening (13) of the cooling channel. The two areas (14, 15) of the casting core (2) are disposed at a distance from one another, which corresponds at a maximum to two times the cross-sectional diameter of one of the two areas (14, 15). As a result, the throughflow of the cooling oil traversing the cooling channel is accelerated and the cooling of the piston improved.

Abstract: A soluble casting core for forming a cooling channel in a piston has a formed-on part for forming an oil supply opening and a formed-on part for forming an oil drain opening. In order to improve the mechanical strength of the piston, the oil supply opening and the oil drain opening lie in a different pin boss support of the pin bosses of the piston. A third formed-on part, which lies in the circumferential direction and is configured in oblong manner, is disposed between the first formed-on part and the end of the casting core, which part has a shape that narrows conically towards the end of the casting core and forms a continuation of the cooling channel, which narrows conically towards the end of the cooling channel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cooling duct (6) for a piston (1) of a combustion engine. The cooling duct (6) has an annular shape and comprises two openings (7, 8) which are arranged next to each other and are alternately used as inlets as well as at least one outlet (15, 16) on the side of the cooling duct (6) located radially opposite the openings (7, 8). In order to allow the oil to more easily flow through the cooling duct (6) and thus the piston (1) to be better cooled, the cooling duct (6) has two outlets (15, 16) that are arranged next to each other as well as a reduced cross-section (17) which lies between the two outlets and acts as a throttle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an inlay part (10, 110) for a piston of an internal combustion engine, wherein the piston has a piston head (21, 121) which is provided with a piston crown (22) which has a combustion depression (23), with an encircling fire land (24) and with an encircling ring part and with an encircling cooling duct (12) which is arranged at the level of the ring part. It is provided according to the invention that the inlay part (10, 11) is formed as a single-piece component which has an encircling cooling duct (12), a ring carrier region (11) and a depression region (13, 113) for a depression edge reinforcement. The present invention also relates to a piston or piston head (21, 121) provided with such an inlay part (10, 110).
