Abstract

A piston for an internal combustion engine and method of construction thereof are provided. The piston includes an upper crown formed at least in part by a first metal material and a thermally insulating insert. The upper crown has an upper wall forming an upper combustion surface and a ring belt region. The upper combustion surface is formed at least in part by the thermally insulating insert. The thermally insulating insert has a base surface with pores extending upwardly therein. The first metal material is infused and solidified in the pores, with the first metal material forming a first bonding surface. The piston further includes a body portion formed from a second metal material. The body portion provides pin bosses having coaxially aligned pin bores and diametrically opposite skirt portions. The body portion has a second bonding surface bonded to the first bonding surface of the first metal material.
