Abstract
The aim of this project is to increase the life and to analyze the various characteristics of composite piston that is strength, weight, thermal conductivity, density, thermal stress and specific heat. Piston is the basic component of the automobile engine. The modified design of the composite piston in this project is compared with existing piston to analyze the Mean Time Between Maintenance. Now-a-days the pistons are made up of aluminium silicon alloy which expands enormously due to generation of heat in the piston. This will affect clearance volume and insufficient clearance can cause the piston to seize in the cylinder. Hence an alternative composite material (Al) which will reduce the expansion. These composite piston are mainly applicable in receprocating engines, pumps and marine ships. The temperature distribution of the piston will be analyzed with the help of ANSYS software. In this analysis, the rate of heat transfer and thermal stress are evaluated for different composition materials. Key Words: composite piston, aluminum silicon alloy, thermal stress, thermal distribution
