Pistons are usually manufactured from aluminum for vehicle with internal combustion engines powered by petrol or from steel for vehicle with internal combustion engines powered by diesel.
Following the degrees of environmental awareness around the globe an effort to reduce air pollution, engine manufacturers are having to develop a product that comply with a growing number of pollution directives.
Diesel engines, in particular, have become a major focus of interest for automotive manufacturers due to their lower fuel consumption and more efficient engine news.
Piston manufacturers have designed pistons that are extremely complicated to manufacture and require special tools insert with dedicated chip breakers coding processes and technologies.
