Abstract: A method for producing a cooling duct piston for an internal combustion engine having a cooling duct in its piston crown. A piston main body is produced with a collar which is circumferential and projects radially in the region of the piston crown. The collar is formed until its outer circumferential edge comes very closely or completely into contact with a bearing region of the piston lower part forming the cooling duct. At least one ring groove is introduced. A ring-free groove is further formed below the ring groove, wherein a dividing plane lies between the outer circumferential edge of the formed collar and an upper side of the piston lower part in the ring-free groove.

Abstract: A piston of an internal combustion engine has a piston crown with annular grooves and a shaft part disposed on the piston crown. The shaft part has bearing shaft wall sections which are connected to one another via inclined connecting walls which are retracted with respect to the outer diameter of the piston. Piston-pin bosses for accommodating a piston pin are disposed in connecting walls. The connecting walls are retracted at such an angle that, in progressing from the lower edge over an intermediate region which lies further back than the lower edge, into an end region which lies further back than the intermediate region the connecting walls to over flush into a hub supporting region below the piston crown.
