The aluminum pistons are formed from either forges or cast aluminum alloys. They resist high temperatures.
They are the central part of reciprocating engines. An aluminum piston is composed of changing circular aluminum pieces.
The aluminum piston transfers the force from extensive cylinder gas to crankshaft by the piston rod.
Aluminum pistons are known for their light and wide applications. They are designed with numerous types depending on your utilization.
Aluminum materials are the most preferred material for manufacturing pistons. Because of the particular characteristics of aluminum, it is ideal for gasoline and diesel engine applications.
The aluminum material has low density, immense thermal conductivity, easy cast, and forging techniques.
The aluminum for the piston is easy to machine, reliable, and has excellent recycling characteristics.
The aluminum piston operates together with its various functional parts. The following defines the aluminum piston parts and their functions.
Aluminum Piston Rings
The piston rings sustain gas compression between the cylinder wall and piston. It seals the cylinder for producing combustion gas to prevent opening leakages.
The aluminum piston rings are consist of three types: the wiper ring, compression ring, and oil rings.
Piston Skirt
The piston skirt is the cylindrical thing seated on the piston circular section.
This skirt has grooves for piston oil and compression ring mounting. The piston skirts are also accessible in various designs to suit particular applications.
They are available in two types – the full skirt and the slipper skirt.
Piston Pin
The piston pin is the one that connects the piston and connecting rod. It supports the connecting rod bearing to pivot.
Small piston pin functions in the highest temperature engine experiencing. There are three types of piston pin available – the fixed pin, semi-floating, and full floating.
Piston Crown or Head
The piston crown or head is also called a piston dome located at the top of the piston. The piston head connects with combustion gases.
This piston head is usually made from special alloys for preventing melting. It is commonly constructed with cavities and channels.
There are various kinds of piston heads utilized in different engines.
Connecting Rod
This connecting rod is also known as a con rod. It is a piston engine component that connects to the piston and crankshaft.
The con rod moves with a crank in piston reciprocating motion into the crankshaft rotation.
Piston Bearing
The piston bearing is the component that is placed where pivotal movement happens. This part has semi-circular pieces that suit the holes.
This bearing has cups at the vast end where the crankshaft and rod are connected. They are coated to enhance sturdiness and back up a load of piston and conrod motions.
There are multiple types of aluminum pistons, named according to their shape.
- Flat-Top Aluminum Piston
This type of aluminum piston is designed with a flat-top form, as its name describes. It has the smallest surface space value.
This aluminum piston is suitable to form effective combustion.
The flat-top creates the most significant equal flame distribution. It produces excessive compression for lesser combustion chambers.
- Dish Aluminum Piston
The dish aluminum piston has a plate-like design with outer edges curling up lightly.
This type of dish piston is utilized for elevated applications without high-lift camshaft requirements.
- Dome Aluminum Piston
The dome aluminum piston maximizes the outer area accessible on the top of the piston. If you have more surface area, you can have less compression.
Other Types:
- Deflector pistons
- Crosshead pistons
- Racing pistons
- Trunk pistons
- Slipper pistons
The following defines various functions of aluminum pistons.
The aluminum piston transmits a working gas force.
Seal off the operating chamber.
Leading connecting rod linear
Controls in two movement engines charge exchange.
Performs heat dissipation
Its piston rings lead the sealing elements.
Operating chamber changeably bounding.
Do the four strokes engine discharging and drawing.
Guides the connecting rod

There are various types of aluminum utilized for pistons. Select the most suitable one according to your applications.
Cast Aluminum Piston
The cast aluminum piston is excellent for stock engines.
You can purchase them at the lowest price point.
This aluminum piston can is melted and poured into a mold. It is formed to achieve the finished product.
Casting an aluminum piston needs minimal machining. This piston is not applicable for high-performance applications.
Hypereutectic Aluminum Piston
The hypereutectic aluminum is perfect for practically 600 to 650 horsepower in natural engines.
It is also a cast piston combined with about 16% silicone—the added silicone increase lower than aluminum. The aluminum gets harder when combined with silicone.
The hypereutectic will have a lesser ductile alloy due to the high silicon content. This aluminum piston is suitable for typically aiming engines.
4032 Forged Aluminum Pistons
This type of aluminum is suitable for engines forming about 1000 horsepower aspirated.
The forged type of aluminum used for the piston is vital in marketing. Unlike cast aluminum, the forged aluminum is not molted. It only requires a simple molding force.
This 4021 forges aluminum has about 11% silicone content and an alloy with more minor extended characteristics. It has closer tolerance to prevent the piston from rocking and forms piston higher stability.
2618 Forged Aluminum Pistons
This aluminum piston is ideal for engines that create about 1200 horsepower and moving power-adders machines.
The 2618 aluminum has only about 2% silicon content – the low silicon content forms high-expansion features. It has a more flexible alloy that provides extended resistance to ignition.
Because of the said feature, this aluminum piston endures harsh conditions. Its durability ultimately gives in after innumerable heat cycles.
The aluminum piston should have stable characteristics to function effectively, like the following:
- Lightweight
- Low noise operation
- Mechanically sturdy
- High gas temperature
- Losses inertia to minimize bearing by changing motion
- Durable enough to keep pressure hammering impacts
The aluminum piston has numerous uses and applications.
They reduce inertia that enhances the mechanical engine effectiveness.
The aluminum piston compact the inner cylinder fluid. However, it increases fluid temperature and pressure.
Using aluminum pistons also provides management directions.
The aluminum piston is lighter than a cast iron piston.
Using aluminum pistons, accelerate higher with low vibration. It has excellent tensile strength than a cast iron piston.
The aluminum piston regulates heat better than a cast iron piston.
Aluminum pistons are diecast pressure to stabilize weight and minimize balance needs.
Unlike cast-iron pistons, aluminum pistons don’t require aging.
The aluminum pistons are easy to equip with low dust discharge than cast iron pistons.
The aluminum piston melts about 1350 degrees. But if your aluminum piston is combined with the cast, you need a higher melting point added with the oil gallery.
Under solid pulling of the cylinder, the ignition exceeds 5000 degrees temperature.
