  • Patent number: 10221807
    Abstract: The arrangement relates to a method for producing a cooling duct piston for an internal combustion engine, having the steps of producing a top piston part by introducing a combustion bowl, a cooling space of a part of a cooling duct and overflow ducts, producing a bottom piston part by introducing a part of a cooling duct, and joining the piston parts, wherein at least one transfer duct is created by bores. A cooling duct piston produced by the method is disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9670871
    Abstract: A method for producing a piston for an internal combustion engine, which piston has at least one cooling channel and is produced from at least one upper part and one lower part. The cooling channel of the piston is formed of the upper part and the lower part where the upper part and the lower part of the piston are each produced by means of a forging process At least one rib-like element, in particular, at least one rib, is additionally forged during the forging of the upper part in an area of the cooling channel and/or at least one rib-like element, in particular, at least one rib, is additionally forged during the forging of the lower part in an area of the cooling channel. Two alternative production methods and to a piston for an internal combustion engine are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7730828
    Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine includes a piston head provided with an annular field, and a piston shaft arranged beneath the annular field. The piston shaft has shaft surfaces and a recess surface which is arranged around a bolt borehole and set back in relation to an outer diameter of the piston. At least one cavity is provided in the region of the lowest annular groove for oil flow in the direction of the recess surface during the movement of the piston and the at least one cavity is arranged outside an especially stressed region above the bolt borehole.
