Abstract (en)

A heat-insulating piston has a piston head comprising a piston head base portion (1) consisting of a ceramic material, a heat-insulating member (3) jointed to the piston head base portion (1) and consisting of a whisker fired member of the same ceramic material as that of the piston head base portion (1), and a laminate (5) jointed to the surface (10) of the heat-insulating member that faces the combustion chamber, as well as to the surface that slides and consisting of the same ceramic material as that of the heat-insulating member (3). The heat-insulating member (3) is stably jointed to the piston head base portion (1) and laminate by utlising the same ceramic material for the heat-insulating member (3), piston head base portion (1) and laminate, whereby the strength of the piston head can be improved. Furthermore, the heat-insulating capability of the piston can be improved, whilst the thermal capacity of the laminate is made small, whereby the suction efficiency can also be improved.
