Material of a Piston
Pistons are made from either low-carbon steel or aluminum alloys. The piston is subjected to high heat, inertia, vibration, and friction. Carbon steels minimize the effects of differential thermal expansion between the piston and cylinder walls. The lowered weight of aluminum compared to cast iron is lost due to thicker sections needed for strength. Carbon steel pistons are made from SAE G2500 grade gray iron. Gray iron has good fluidity at elevated temperatures. This is a valuable property since most pistons are formed from squeeze casting.
Aluminum pistons are made from alloy with a relatively high concentration of silicon. Aluminum high in silicon improves wear resistance, compared to low concentrations of alloying elements. Thermodynamic properties allow a more uniform distribution of silicon and less segregation. Other aluminum alloys include 356 and 390 grades, containing low compositions of silicon (3% to 8%).
How to Calculate Distance between Bearing 1 and 2 of centre crankshaft at TDC position given Piston diameter?
Distance between Bearing 1 and 2 of centre crankshaft at TDC position given Piston diameter calculator uses Distance Between Bearing 1&2 of Centre Crankshaft = 2*Diameter of Piston to calculate the Distance Between Bearing 1&2 of Centre Crankshaft, Distance between Bearing 1 and 2 of centre crankshaft at TDC position given Piston diameter is the distance between the 1st and 2nd bearing of a center crankshaft at TDC position, designed for when the crank is at the top dead center position and subjected to maximum bending moment and no torsional moment. Distance Between Bearing 1&2 of Centre Crankshaft is denoted by b symbol.
