Abstract
This invention relates to inserts for pistons of diesel engines of aluminum-silicon alloys obtained by powder metallurgy. These inserts are characterized in that they contain elements such as iron and zirconium. They find their application in the manufacture of pistons intended to work at high temperatures for long periods and exhibit a good friction capacity.
Claims3
Inserts for pistons of DIESEL engines, said inserts comprised of aluminum-silicon alloys containing 12 to 25% silicon, obtained by powder metallurgy and having both an improved thermal resistance and machinability, as well as a good friction capacity, characterized in that they contain between 2 and 8% by weight of iron and 0.2-1.5% by weight of zirconium.
