Design and Analysis of Aluminium 6082-T6 Piston
A piston is a reciprocating part of an engine which is bound by a cylinder and plays the role of changing the heat and pressure energy produced by rapid combustion of fuel in the combustion cycle into mechanical work. Since the piston is acted upon by so much forces, it has to be designed in such a way that it can withstand all of them without any shear failure. Over the past decades, Aluminium has managed to prevail as the best material to be used as piston, but after the discovery of aluminium alloys, the latter has taken the privilege. Aluminium alloys are much light and possess great moduli and thermal properties which puts them in the front seat. In this paper we have done a comparative study of structural and thermal behavior of piston when designed using commonly used Aluminium and Al 6082-T6 alloy. The results were quite appealing and satisfying to choose Al 6082-T6 to serve as a better piston material over the conventional aluminium and other alloys. For this, piston was modeled in Solidworks 14 and analysed in Ansys 15.

The piston has been designed in Solidworks 2021 and then imported that model of piston in ANSYS 14.5 software to perform Static Structural and Steady State Thermal analysis of the piston. For structural analysis, pressure of 6.5 MPa has been applied assuming frictionless supports on its outer surface and the temperature of about 800⁰C on the crown of the piston is assumed for thermal analysis, applying convection in all surfaces of the piston. Final results are like that, the AlSi and AlSiC12 are best suitable materials for the piston in terms of Structural and thermal stresses.

Thermal analysis of automobile piston made of aluminium alloy
The power can be generated in the combustion chamber of an automobile. The combustion chamber is the place where the charge burns in. The charge i.e. air and fuel at various proportions depending upon the accelerations made is sent through carburettor which is compressed inside the combustion chamber with to and fro moments of piston within the top and bottom dead centres. After the combustion, the burnt charge exerts a lot of force on the piston. The piston plays various roles in compressing the charge and in transferring the produced power to the crankshaft. During this process, always the piston is in contact with the charge. The burnt charge has temperature about 12000C. The heat flows into the piston. So the piston should have sufficient mechanical strength to with stand the force acting by the explosion and the piston should be thermally stable to with stand the heat flow into the piston. The piston is cooled by providing cooling fins external to the surface of Combustion Chamber. In this paper the thermal analysis of the piston is done by modelling the piston with aluminium alloy. The thermal analysis was analysed using software ANSYS. It is found that, the aluminium alloy piston is having the sufficient thermal stability to with stand the high temperatures.

In this project, it was chosen to investigate a specific piston design and its maximum gas pressure capabilities. The first aim for this project is to create a piston model using the solid modelling software CATIA V5. The geometry will be meshed and analyzed using the ANSYS software. A thorough literature search was conducted for the examination of piston input circumstances and the analytical process. High combustion gas pressures operate as mechanical loads, causing substantial strains in the piston's critical area. For various loading situations, such as maximum gas pressure load, a detailed static structural analysis is carried out. To choose the best material, a comparative research is carried out. Relative examination is never really dominated material. A cylinder is a mechanical part found in an assortment of cycles like pneumatic chambers. Responding siphons, responding motors and gas blowers. It is the upward development inside a chamber that is put away gastight by cylinder .In the auto business, it is found that the cylinder is the most fundamental part of the motor, and that it is presented to serious mechanical and warm loads. Warm burdens are initiated in the cylinder because of the exceptionally high temperature differential between the cylinder crown and the cooling displays. The cylinders are regularly built of aluminum due to its lightweight and heat conductivity. Be that as it may, as a result of its low hot strength and high development coefficient, it isn't suggested for use in high-temperature applications. The reason for a section bar or potentially an associating bar in a motor is to move power from growing gas to the barrel shaped shaft through an interfacing bar and additionally segment pole. To pack or remove the liquid put away in the chamber, the siphons turned around the capacity of the cylinder and communicate power from driving rod to it. In the initial step the primary examination of a common cylinder developed of the aluminum composite is concentrated in this exploration. The subsequent advance is to direct an investigation on a cylinder developed of Aluminum and Cast iron. Lightweight, minimal expense, primarily and thermally safe materials ought to be used in the development of pistons in the third step Validation of investigation result with contrasting the traditional material.
