Piston for internal combustion engine and method of manufacturing same

Abstract

Provided is a piston for an internal combustion engine, the piston enabling both an improvement in heat efficiency and a reduction in emissions, and enabling the prevention of overheating of the piston to prevent the occurrence of knocking, pre-ignition, and a drop in air filling efficiency. This piston (100a) for an internal combustion engine constitutes a portion of a combustion chamber (9) of an internal combustion engine (200) and includes a substrate (103), a first film (101) provided on a section of the top surface of the substrate (103) contacting the combustion chamber (9), and a second film (102) provided on another section of the top surface. The piston for the internal combustion engine is characterized in that: the first film (101) has a lower heat conductivity and heat capacity than the substrate (103), and the second film (102) has a lower heat conductivity than the substrate (103) and a higher heat capacity than the first film (101).
