A method to manufacture an articulated piston head wherein the two portions composing the head, i.e. the top portion and the pin boss portion, are formed separately from blanks of forged or cast chromium-molybdenum steel or a low alloy steel, subjected to preliminary machining operations, joined together by friction welding and then machined to final dimensions.

Head of two welded parts for two-piece articulated piston

A method for the manufacture of a cooled piston head in which the upper and lower portions of the piston head are made separately a metal plate is placed on the lower side of the upper portion; then the upper portion incorporating the metal plate is joined to the lower portion by friction welding. The metal plate is provided with a central hole for the passage of cooling oil onto the undercrown, and means of communication with a closed cooling chamber defined by a circumferential groove on the head upper portion and the peripheral outer surface of the metal plate.
