Abstract
The invention relates to a process for producing a cooling channel piston, in which the overall height is reduced in that the annular recess has a lower height than the height of the tool used for producing the cooling channel, and the production of the cooling channels starts parallel to the piston boss face, in which the axial height of the annular recess (8) is smaller than the axial height of the cooling channel (13).
Claims4
A process for producing a one-piece cooling channel piston having a continuous annular, closed cooling channel inside a piston head, an annular recess provided between the piston head and a piston skirt, the piston skirt connected to piston bosses attached to the piston head, comprising the steps of:
- producing a piston blank;
- forming the annular recess and the cooling channel, which is open towards the bottom, in the piston blank by means of metal cutting;
- completing an outer contour of the piston;
- closing the cooling channel which is open towards the bottom;
- forming an axial height of the cooling channel larger than an axial height of the annular recess;
- forming an additional recess to the annular recess by means of metal cutting;
- and
- starting the production of the cooling channel in an area parallel to a face of the piston boss face.
