The recent development of piston materials in internal combustion engines has contributed to the overall improvement in terms of durability and operation reliability. R&D and scientific centers both at home and abroad are conducting studies aimed at increasing the net power, torque and reducing the fuel consumption. The main function of piston is to convert thermal energy into mechanical work. Therefore selection of best material for piston plays a vital role in terms of extending its life, engine efficiency and low fuel consumption. Recent research has come up with a concept of composite materials, which shows that it has good mechanical properties compared to existing materials.
