Abstract: A piston for an internal combustion engine has an upper part and a lower part. The upper part has a collar with a ring rib and the lower part has a wall and a contact part radially within the wall. When the upper part is connected with the lower part by friction welding, the face surfaces of the ring rib, the collar, the wall, and the contact part form friction-welding surfaces and form a cooling channel and a cooling cavity between them. To supply the cooling channel and the cooling cavity with cooling oil, radial bores are introduced into the ring rib, which bores connect the cooling channel with the cooling cavity. In this way, it is guaranteed that a sufficient residual amount of oil collects in the cooling channel and in the cooling cavity, which amount is constantly renewed, and leads to good cooling of the piston crown.

Abstract: A two-part piston for an internal combustion engine consists of an upper part, a lower part and a circumferential, closed cooling channel radially on the outside and close to the piston crown. The channel is closed off, on its underside, by a cooling channel cover which is connected via a skirt connection with two skirt elements that lie opposite one another. In order to reduce the piston weight and nevertheless avoid secondary movements of the piston, circumferential recesses are provided in the region of the skirt elements, which are delimited by the cooling channel cover on the piston crown side and by the skirt connections on the skirt side. The skirt connections are connected with the radially inner region of the cooling channel cover on the piston crown side, and with the upper regions of the skirt elements on the skirt side.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multipart, cooled piston for a combustion engine, comprising, in a radially outward direction, an annular cooling duct located on the bottom side that faces away from the piston head. The cooling duct is closed by a cooling duct cover which is embodied as a ring. The cooling duct cover is provided with a tongue in the radially inner zone. The tongue engages into a recess that is molded into the bottom piston part, thus preventing the cooling duct cover from rotating relative to the piston during assembly as well as during operation.
