The disclosure relates to a method for producing a component, in particular a vehicle component or an engine component, such as a piston of an internal combustion engine. The method comprises forming a first body region, in particular by means of casting or forging. The method includes forming a second body region, which is connected to the first body region, from an aluminium alloy or an iron-based alloy or a copper-based alloy by means of an additive manufacturing method. The second body region is alloyed in such a manner that it has higher thermal stability, higher mechanical strength or higher wear resistance upon tribological stressing than the first body region.

Method for producing a component, in particular vehicle component, and correspondingly produced component

The present disclosure relates to an internal combustion engine, in particular a reciprocating internal combustion engine, having at least one cylinder, wherein a cylinder wall of the cylinder is formed at least at a wall region forming a cylinder barrel by a coating of a crankcase or of a cylinder liner of the internal combustion engine by means of a coating material. According to the present disclosure, the coating material is formed of a high-alloy, steel alloy including, as alloying elements, chromium, nickel, copper and niobium.

Internal combustion engine and method for producing a crankcase and/or a cylinder liner for an internal combustion engine

An internal combustion engine with at least one cylinder having a cylinder barrel that forms a guide for a piston associated with the cylinder. The cylinder barrel is only partially formed by a cylinder wall of a crankcase or of a cylinder liner fastened to the crankcase. The cylinder barrel, in a central region as seen in the cylinder axial direction, is formed by the cylinder wall. The cylinder wall, in an upper region of the cylinder barrel adjoining the central region and/or in a lower region adjoining the central region, has an encompassing recess into which is inserted a one-piece or multi-piece annular sliding element, the radially inner wall of which forms a part of the cylinder barrel.

Internal combustion engine, especially reciprocating internal combustion engine

A method for machining, in particular mechanical machining, of at least one exhaust-gas-conducting surface region of an internal combustion engine or crankcase part, in particular at least one cylinder barrel of a crankcase or at least one cylinder barrel of a cylinder sleeve, includes using a surface-condition-changing machining tool. The surface region is produced from a corrodible material and is brought into contact, during the machining through the use of the surface-condition-changing machining tool, with at least one tribochemically activatable substance being activated during the machining in particular as a function of a defined contact pressure of the machining tool and/or as a function of a defined machining temperature, and forms a corrosion-resistant surface as a triboreaction layer with the respective surface region, by tribochemical reaction. A crankcase and a cylinder sleeve formed in this way are also provided.
