Abstract: A method for producing a piston may include producing a piston top part and a piston bottom part each including an inner support element having an inner joining surface and an outer support element having an outer joining surface. At least one of the joining surfaces may include a solder depository. The method may also include pre-machining at least one of the joining surfaces and introducing a high-temperature soldering material in at least one solder depository. The method may further include assembling the piston top part and the piston bottom part to form a piston body via creating at least one of circular contact and linear contact between the joining surfaces such that a gap width is 20 ?m to 150 ?m. The method may also include transferring the piston body into a soldering oven, melting the high-temperature soldering material via heating the piston body, and cooling the piston body.

Abstract: A piston may include a first center bore and a second center bore configured to receive a piston pin. The first center bore and the second center bore may have different diameters. An axis of the first center bore may extend parallel to an axis of the second center bore.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a multi-part piston (10, 110) for an internal combustion engine, comprising the following method steps: producing an upper piston part (11) and a lower piston part (12), each having an inner support element (22, 26; 122, 126) having joining surfaces (24, 28; 124, 128) and an outer support element (23, 27; 123, 127) having joining surfaces (25, 29; 125, 129), applying a high-temperature solder material in the area of at least one joining surface (24, 28 or 25, 29; 124, 128 or 125, 129), assembling the upper piston part (11) and the lower piston part (12) to form a piston body by establishing a contact between the joining surfaces (24, 28 or 25, 29; 124, 128 or 125, 129), placing the piston body in a vacuum furnace and evacuating the vacuum furnace; heating the piston body at a pressure of at most 10?2 mbar to a soldering temperature of at most 1300° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a two-part piston (1) for an internal combustion engine, consisting of an upper part (2) and a lower part (3) which is screwed to the upper part. The upper part (2) and the lower part (3) are in contact with each other, partially by means of inner bearing surfaces (25, 26) defining the lower side of an upper ring rib (10) and the upper side of a lower ring rib (11), and partially by means of outer bearing surfaces (28, 29) defining the lower side of the ring wall (9) and the upper side of a collar (27) applied to the lower part (29). In order to avoid frictional rubbing, frictional heat sealing and pressure-related material heat sealing, at least one of the bearing surfaces (25, 26, 28, 29) is easily and economically provided with a chrome layer (30) which has a structured surface comprising a plurality of raised parts and recesses.

Abstract: A multipiece piston comprises a steel upper part and a lower part which is screwed to the upper part and which contains the hubs. The design of the piston improves the strength of the lower part and its resistance to material defects, and reduces production cost. The lower part of the piston consists of a precipitation-hardened ferrite-pearlite steel, preferably according to EN 10267 and with added titanium. The hubs of the lower part are preferably not reinforced with bushings.

Abstract: A one-piece piston comprises a piston crown made of steel and a bottom component made of forged steel, and a cooling channel that is formed by welding the crown and the bottom component of the piston together. The cooling channel is located radially behind the annular grooves. The crown and the bottom component of the piston jointly form a central cooling chamber whose lower limiting wall is forged as one piece with the bottom component of the piston. The welding seams joining the crown and the bottom component of the piston are friction welding seams. The piston provides for superior cooling of the crown of the piston and simplifies the production of the welding seams.
