1. A method for the production of a piston having a piston head that has a circumferential cooling channel as well as a combustion bowl having a circumferential bowl wall that makes a transition into a piston crown by way of a bowl edge region, wherein the combustion bowl is formed at least in part by a piston base body, and the bowl wall is formed at least in part from an insert, the base body and insert having joining surfaces, comprising the following method steps:

  • (a) providing the base body and insert such that the joining surfaces of the base body enclose an acute angle with each other and the joining surfaces of the insert enclose an acute angle with each other;

    (b) pre-working the piston base body and the insert, at least in a region of the joining surfaces;

    (c) assembling the piston base body and insert;

    (d) connecting the piston base body and insert along their corresponding joining surfaces, by means of beam welding to form a closed cooling channel; and

    (e) machining the piston to finish the piston.
