Researches novel materials on the pistons with low hysteresis to combustion engines

The researches were carried out at the use of the precise dilatometer of the firm BAHR 802/801. The device makes possible the registration of changes of measurements of the sample in the function of the temperature. Measurements in the simpler and differential are possible. Heating and cooling is performed in the special device, which realizes the programme temperature, controlled computer. Changes of dimensions are measured with an inductive sensor. Samples were placed in the quartz-pipe and changes of their length were transferred by quartz-rods. The temperature of tested material was measured by means of the Pt-PtRh thermocouple. Material on the pistons has a fundamental meaning for the value of the clearances between the cylinder and the piston. Too small clearness between the piston and cylinder on the cold engine cannot be applying, because during the work of an engine it would be able to occur seizing of an engine. From here, also the large resistance on seizing of material of the piston is essential. Investigated composite materials performed based on piston-silumins AK12 and AK18 in which a composite addition was silicon carbide (SiC) and ferric sulphide (FeS).
