Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH03194157A] PURPOSE: To improve durability by forming a piston with high-temperature magnesium alloy, by providing its skirt with a chemically applied or electrodeposited metallic sliding layer which has given thickness and hardness, and by coating the inside surface of the piston with a plastic cracker. CONSTITUTION: A piston 1 is formed with pressure-diecast of magnesium alloy belonging to a material group Mg5Nd, a skirt reinforced by 20 vol.% of aluminum oxide fiber is coated with a chemically applied nickel layer (sliding layer) 3 which has a thickness of about 10-30 μm (preferably 16-24 μm) and a hardness of about 740-850 HV0.01 . The inside surface of the piston 1 is coated with a layer 2 formed with a plastic cracker having a thickness of 15 μm. Particles of chromium oxide or similar ceramic oxide material is buried in the sliding layer 3, and the magnesium alloy 2 contains 2-6% of neodymium.

In einen preßgegossenen Leichtmetallkolben für Verbrennungskraftmaschinen sind partiell Faserformkörper aus keramischen Kurzfasern, die parallel zu einer Ebene ausgerichtet sind, eingegossen. Zur Verbesserung der Verschleißfestigkeit des aus einer warmfesten Magnesiumlegierung bestehenden Kolbens weist der Kolbenschaft wenigstens im Bereich seiner Reibflächen eine 10 bis 30 µm dicke, eine Härte von 740 bis 850 HV0,01 besitzende metallische, chemisch oder galvanisch abgeschiedene Laufschicht auf.
