Design And Analysis Of The Piston Using Composite Materials

Abstract

This paper is regarding the thermal analysis of the automobile piston within the automobile piston in the IC engine. currently
reduction of the engine is a promising field for research that benefitted in the reduction of fuel consumption and pollutants
emission from the engine. whereas on the opposite side varied pressure boosters connected with the engine piston-cylinder
to maintain the output power at the bar more than the bar. These attachments induce high stresses and displacement vectors
in the piston-cylinder and also the gas forces generated throughout the combustion cause to produce thermal stresses on the
face of the piston that sometimes may result in the failure of piston material. to resist these issues, the material used should
be durable enough and thermal efficient. Al-Si alloys are the main material used to manufacture the piston owing to the low
coefficient of thermal expansion, minimum weight high hardness and strength and adequate wear resistance properties. as
such a few more materials were are tested in the paper to understand and deduce the best thermal efficient material to
construct the automobile piston. the material taken into consideration are: cast iron, forged steel, cast Aluminium,
hypereutectic aluminium, and forged aluminium. very careful observation is needed during the production of automobile
piston to attain desired thermal and mechanical properties
