MATERIALS USED FOR PISTON
The materials used for piston is mainly ALUMINIUM alloy. Cast iron is also used for piston excellent wearing qualities,Coefficient of expansion. * But due to the reduction pf weight, the use of aluminum for piston was essential.
* To get equal strength a greayer thickness of metal is essential.
* The piston made by the alloy of aluminum produces less inertia forces there by rotating the crankshaft more smoothly.
* The heat conductivity of aluminum is three times that of cast iron.
