Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an internal combustion engine piston which is provided with at least one cooling channel (12) and at least one reinforced piston ring groove (14) consisting in producing a piston blank (1), in forming a groove (10) provided with a cooling channel (12) and an external ring (11) in said piston blank (1), in filling the cooling channel (12) with are movable material (2), in filling the external ring with a reinforcing material (3) in removing the removable material (2) and in finish-machining the piston. A piston made of aluminum alloy and produced according to the inventive method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a piston (1) with a combustion chamber recess (2) for an internal combustion engine, in which at least one region of the combustion chamber recess (2) comprising at least one recess base (20) is melt-treated in order to re-melt a material in the melt-treated region, so that a buildup of the material in the melt-treated region is changed in a layer with a definable depth, and relates to such a piston (1).
