Piston for an internal combustion engine and method for its production
First Claim
1. Piston (10) for an internal combustion engine, having a piston head (10a), a piston skirt (15), and a circumferential recess (25) configured between the piston head (10a) and the piston skirt (15),whereinthe piston (10) has a piston base body (11) and a piston ring element (12),the piston base body (11) has at least a crown region (19a) of a combustion bowl (19) as well as the piston skirt (15),the piston ring element (12) has at least a piston crown (21), a wall region (19b) of the combustion bowl (19), a circumferential top land (22), and a circumferential ring belt (23) provided with ring grooves,the piston ring element (12) has a circumferential cooling channel (27) between the wall region (19b) of the combustion bowl (19) and the ring belt (23), closed with a closure element (26),the piston base body (11) and the piston ring element (12) have a circumferential joining seam (28) in the region of the combustion bowl (19), in each instance, by way of which seam they are non-releasably connected with one another.

Abstract
A piston for an internal combustion engine has a piston head, a piston skirt, and a circumferential recess configured between the piston head and the piston skirt. The piston has a piston base body and a piston ring element. The piston base body has a crown region of a combustion bowl and the piston skirt. The piston ring element has a piston crown, a wall region of the combustion bowl, a circumferential top land, and a circumferential ring belt with ring grooves. The piston ring element has a circumferential cooling channel between the wall region of the combustion bowl and the ring belt, closed with a closure element. The piston base body and the piston ring element have a circumferential joining seam in the region of the combustion bowl, by way of which seam they are non-releasably connected with one another.

) of a piston ring element (12) that has at least a piston crown (21), a wall region (19b) of a combustion bowl (19), a circumferential recess (27a), as well as a joining surface (34) in the region of the combustion bowl (19);
(c) connecting the blank (11′
) of the piston base body (11) with the blank (12′
) of the piston ring element (12) by way of their joining surfaces (33, 34), to produce a piston blank (10′
);
(d) reworking and/or finishing the piston blank (10′
) to produce the piston (10). - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
