Parts of engine -4

HELLO FRIENDS, Previous article we have discuss parts of engine crankcase, cylinder liner and piston introduction. In this article we have discuss material  of  piston and piston  clearance. So…..lets start,😊 Material  for piston : The material used for piston is mainly aluminium alloy. Aluminium piston can be either cast or forged. Cast iron is also used for piston. Yearly  cast iron was almost universal  material for piston because it's excellent  wearing qualities, co-efficient of expansion and general  suitability in manufacture. Due to reduce of weight of metal is necessary, light metal is lost. Aluminium is inferior to cast iron in strength and wearing qualities, and it's greater  co-efficient of expansion greater clearance in the cylinder to avoid the risk  of seizures. The thermal heat conductivity of aluminium  is about three times that of cast iron and this combined  with greater thickness necessary for strength, enable an aluminium alloy piston to run at
