Engine Piston

What is an Engine Piston?

 


   










Another fundamental element of your IC engine is the piston, which acts as a force transmitting element. It aids to transmit the force exerted by the combustion of air-fuel mixture into the crankshaft. You may think that why this part is for and how it works. The matter is so simple. It gains the reciprocating motion in each stage of combustion, which gets transmitted into the crankshaft via connecting rod. This part is also called the heart of an IC engine. Practically, pistons of your engine are made of aluminum alloys, which give it a stronger yet light weight construction. Aluminum alloys are highly beneficial for such construction as they pose high heat conducting property.
