Abstract: Pistons and methods of making the same are disclosed. An exemplary piston assembly may include a piston crown and skirt. The crown may include a crown collar wall extending downward toward a free end of the crown collar wall. The skirt may include a pair of oppositely disposed pin bosses that each define piston pin bores configured to receive a piston pin for securing a connecting rod between the pin bosses. The skirt may further include a radially inner skirt mating surface abutted along a radially inner interface region with the radially inner crown mating surface, and a radially outer skirt mating surface abutted along a radially outer interface region with the radially outer crown mating surface such that a cooling gallery is substantially enclosed. The skirt may further include an inner collar wall extending upwards to the free end of the crown collar wall.

Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine, having a piston base body, a piston ring element having at least an inner region of a piston crown, and a piston skirt. The piston is provided with pin bosses having pin bores and the ring element has at least an outer region of a piston crown having a circumferential top land and a circumferential ring belt provided with ring grooves. The piston base body and piston ring element are joined together by way of corresponding, conical joining surfaces configured on them.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a piston (10, 110, 210) for an internal combustion engine, having a piston base body (11, 111, 211) and a piston ring element (12, 112, 212), whereby the piston base body (11, 111, 211) has at least an inner region (14) of a piston crown (13) as well as a piston skirt (16), which is provided with pin bosses (18) having pin bores (17), whereby the piston ring element (12, 112, 212) has at least an outer region (21) of a piston crown (13) having a circumferential top land (22), and a circumferential ring belt (23) provided with ring grooves (24). According to the invention, it is provided that piston base body (11, 111, 211) and piston ring element (12, 112, 212) are joined together by way of corresponding, conical joining surfaces (32, 33, 27, 28; 135, 136; 232, 233, 227, 228) configured on them. The present invention furthermore relates to a method for the production of such a piston.

Abstract: A multi-part piston for an internal combustion engine has an upper piston part and a lower piston part. The upper piston part and the lower piston part each have an inner and an outer support element, which elements delimit an outer circumferential cooling channel and an inner cooling chamber, whose cooling chamber bottom has an opening. The opening is closed off with a separate closure element, which has at least one cooling oil opening.

Abstract: A process is described for rock consolidation, e.g. in tunnel construction and mining, by injection of aqueous preparations of melamine resin condensates and/or urea formaldehyde condensates together with an acid curing agent. The process is characterized by the use of aqueous solutions of hydrogen sulfate salts, especially solutions of alkali and/or ammonium bisulfates, as curing agents. The curing agent solutions can contain additional auxiliary agents and active substances such as corrosion inhibitors, structurizers and adhesion agents. Preferred resin solutions for consolidation with these aqueous curing agents contain added zeolite NaA and/or hydrosodalite for increasing their serviceability, and especially for prolonging their storage life.
