ABSTRACT
The piston is an engine component that converts the heat and
pressure energy released by fuel combustion into mechanical work.
The primary goal of this study is to create a piston that meets the
specific requirements. The piston was created in SOLIDWORKS and
examined with ANSYS workstation. Scrap aluminum alloys were
used to make the pistons. The working gas pressure, temperature, and
material attributes of the piston were employed in the analysis. A
permanent mild steel mold was used to manufacture the TG-950
gasoline generator piston. The aluminum fragments were melted in a
gas-fired crucible furnace. The developed piston was characterized
using XRF and SEM-EDS to ascertain the elemental compositions of
the final product, and finally, the piston was put through a thermal
and transient study to estimate how well it will perform in service.
