Die immer weiter steigenden Anforderungen an Verbrennungsmotoren machen auch vor dessen Herzstück - dem Kolben - nicht Halt. Für weniger Gewicht, Reibung oder auch noch mehr Verschleißfestigkeit sind tiefe Kenntnisse über die innermotorischen Prozesse sowie die geeigneten Werkstoffe, Konstruktions- und Bearbeitungsverfahren für Kolben inklusive der erforderlichen Erprobungsmaßnahmen notwendig. Ohne dieses spezifische Know-how kommt kein Fachmann der Kfz-Technik mehr aus, unabhängig ob er in der Konstruktion, der Entwicklung, der Erprobung oder der Instandhaltung tätig ist. Dieses Fachbuch beantwortet alle Fragen ausführlich, anschaulich und verständlich.

Klappentext

The ever-increasing demands placed on combustion engines are just as great when it comes to this centerpiece - the piston. Achieving less weight or friction, or even greater wear resistance, requires in-depth knowledge of the processes taking place inside the engine, suitable materials, and appropriate design and machining processes for pistons, including the necessary testing measures. It is no longer possible for professionals in automotive engineering to manage without specific know-how of this kind, whether they work in the field of design, development, testing, or maintenance. This technical book answers these questions in detail and in a very clear and comprehensible way.
