Abstract: A method for the production of a forged piston for an internal combustion engine, having a combustion depression provided on the piston head. The piston is formed from a first cylindrical unmachined part having at least one flat face made of oxidation-resistant steel and a second cylindrical unmachined part having at least one flat face made of hot-forgeable steel, with the same diameters. The two unmachined parts are formed to produce a piston blank, by means of forging, causing the combustion depression to be formed from oxidation-resistant steel. The piston blank is subsequently finished via machining to produce a piston ready for installation in the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A method for the production of a forged piston for an internal combustion engine, having a combustion depression provided on the piston head. The piston is formed from a first cylindrical unmachined part having at least one flat face made of oxidation-resistant steel and a second cylindrical unmachined part having at least one flat face made of hot-forgeable steel, with the same diameters (d), in each instance. The two unmachined parts are formed to produce a piston blank by means of forging, causing the combustion depression to be formed from oxidation-resistant steel. Subsequently the piston blank is finished via machining to produce a piston ready for installation in the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: A method for the production of a forged piston for an internal combustion engine, having a combustion depression provided on the piston head. The piston is formed from a first tube-shaped unmachined part made of oxidation-resistant steel, having at least one join surface, and a second cylindrical unmachined part made of hot-forgeable steel, having at least one join surface. The join surface of the first unmachined part is shrunk onto the join surface of the second unmachined part. The two unmachined parts are formed to produce a piston blank, by means of forging, causing at least the combustion depression to be formed from oxidation-resistant steel. Subsequently the piston blank is finished via machining to produce a piston ready for installation in the internal combustion engine. Simplified and cost-effective production of a piston having a reduced tendency to oxidize at the edge of the depression, and improved protection against wear caused by erosion is achieved.

Abstract: A multipart cooled piston for a combustion engine has a piston upper part of steel comprising a combustion bowl and a ring wall with ring belt, and a piston lower part comprising a piston skirt, pin bosses for receiving the piston pin connecting the piston to the connecting rod, and pin boss supports connected to the piston skirt. An inexpensive manufacture and high form stability are achieved in that a cooling channel formed in the piston upper part has holes towards the piston crown spread over its circumference, with the piston material present between such holes forming supporting ribs that each form sections of an all-round ring rib radially to the longitudinal piston axis (K), The piston lower part has an annular and all-round carrier rib with a connection surface connected to the pin boss supports.

Abstract: A method for drilling shaker bores into a cooling channel of a single-part piston, in which gudgeon-pin bosses each having a gudgeon-pin bore and piston shaft elements are molded onto the piston head via a tie-up substantially extending fully around in the form of a ring. Passage bores are drilled into the tie-up coaxially with the shaker bores to be drilled into the cooling channel, and the shaker bore is drilled into the underside of the piston head with a drilling bit inserted in the respective passage bore.

Abstract: A multi-part cooled piston for an internal combustion engine comprises a one-piece piston upper part having a combustion bowl and an annular wall with a piston-ring part, and a one-piece piston lower part having a box-like piston skirt, and bosses to receive the piston pins joining the piston to the connecting rod and boss supports, which are joined to the piston skirt. A cooling channel is formed through the piston upper part and also the piston lower part and is limited thereby in its cross section. A reduction of the compression height and an increase of the heat load can be achieved with this piston despite increasing engine power. The piston can also be assembled without microstructural change. The piston upper part and the piston lower part are provided with support elements having seating faces, which form a first and a second seat.

Abstract: A multipart cooled piston for an internal combustion engine comprises an upper part and a lower part of the piston. The two parts are screwed together via a threaded bolt that is arranged on the upper part of the piston, and a threaded bore that is drilled into the lower part of the piston. The threaded bore is arranged in an area of the lower part of the piston that is thin-walled to such a degree that it is deformed like a plate spring as the two parts of the piston are screwed together, so that no other safety means such as a lock nut are required for securing the assembled piston.

To this end, said piston ring is provided with channels (7) which are distributed on the circumference of said piston ring flank and which preferably are positioned radially thereon. Said channels are produced on the piston ring in a simple manner by using a laser.
