Design and Analysis of Aluminum Alloy for Gasoline Generator Piston using Aluminum Scrap

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.
