In the modern automotive industry, heat engine pistons must have sufficient strength characteristics to ensure the necessary reliability and durability under high dynamic, mechanical and thermal loads. Currently, aluminum alloys, cast iron, steel and composite materials are used in domestic and international practice for the production of pistons. The use of cheap reinforcing elements made of carbon materials instead of expensive ceramic and boron fibers, silicon carbide particles will significantly reduce the cost of pistons and make them more affordable for mass production.
