[0002] A piston is a reciprocating component in the cylinder block of a car engine. The basic structure of a piston can be divided into the body, head, and skirt. The upper part of the piston is the main component of the combustion chamber, and its shape depends on the type of combustion chamber used.

[0003] Existing piston surface treatment methods are generally limited to one type, making it difficult to meet the performance requirements of different parts.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0018] To improve or solve the technical problem that existing piston surface treatments are generally of a single type, making it difficult to meet the performance requirements of different parts, this utility model provides a composite surface-treated piston. The composite surface-treated piston includes: a head 1 covered with a hard anodized layer; a body 2 covered with a black phosphating layer; and a skirt 3 covered with a graphite layer.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a composite surface-treated piston according to this utility model. Figure 1 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the composite surface-treated piston of the present invention includes a head 1, a body 2 and a skirt 3, and a variety of coatings are formed on the piston surface.

[0020] See also Figure 1 The head 1 has a first end near the body 2 and a second end opposite to the first end. A first annular groove 11 and a second annular groove 12 are formed near the second end, with the first annular groove 11 near the second end and the second annular groove 12 near the first end. In one or more embodiments, a hard anodized layer is applied to the head 1. Specifically, the hard anodized layer is formed by passing a direct current through an electrolyte such as sulfuric acid or oxalic acid, using a piston as the anode and a lead plate as the cathode, and forming a hard aluminum oxide film on the piston surface through an electrochemical reaction. The hard anodized layer has high hardness, with a microhardness of HV300 or higher; good friction reduction and wear resistance, as the oxide film has micropores that can adsorb various lubricants, providing oil storage capacity, increasing friction reduction capability, and good wear resistance; good heat resistance, as the film has poor thermal conductivity, with a thermal conductivity of 67 W / mK, approximately 1 / 3 that of pure aluminum, and a melting point as high as 2000℃, and can withstand temperatures above 1500℃. In particular, oxidation treatment of the piston head 1 improves its heat resistance and fatigue resistance, and delays crack initiation. Simultaneously, it positively contributes to improving engine thermal efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. Furthermore, the hard anodized layer extends from the first annular groove 11 to the second end and covers the end face of the second end. Furthermore, the thickness of the hard anodized layer is 7-20 μm.

[0021] See also Figure 1In one or more embodiments, a black phosphate layer is applied to the main body 2. Specifically, the black phosphate layer primarily functions to prevent corrosion, improve wear resistance, and provide self-lubrication. After phosphating, a porous phosphate film forms on the piston surface. This film possesses excellent corrosion resistance, lubrication, and wear resistance, significantly improving the piston's corrosion resistance and service life. The black phosphate layer provides corrosion protection: the phosphate film isolates the metal from direct contact with the external environment, preventing oxidation and corrosion, thereby extending the workpiece's service life; it improves wear resistance: the surface hardness of the workpiece increases after phosphating, effectively reducing wear, especially in high-speed rotating components such as pistons and bearings, significantly reducing friction and wear; and it provides self-lubrication: the porous structure of the phosphate film has good oil absorption, forming a lubricating oil film on the workpiece surface, reducing friction and improving the workpiece's operating efficiency. Furthermore, the black phosphate layer extends from the main body 2 to the first annular groove 11 and is in contact with the hard anodized layer.

[0022] See also Figure 1 In one or more embodiments, a graphite layer is applied to the skirt 3. Specifically, a black inorganic lubricant with graphite as the main component is printed on the surface of the skirt 3. This lubricant has good adhesion to the piston surface and possesses corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, friction reduction, and lubrication properties, greatly improving the anti-seizure properties of the cylinder and piston, preventing premature damage, and avoiding cylinder scoring. Simultaneously, this coating also has good resistance to oil and other fuels, effectively preventing the harmful effects of impurities generated by the mixed oil entering the cylinder and piston contact surface during cold starts. This lubricating coating provides advantages such as low wear, smooth operation, improved fuel economy, and reduced emissions within 100,000 kilometers of machine operation, ensuring sufficient horsepower during long-term operation and significantly improving overall machine performance and lifespan. Furthermore, the graphite layer thickness is 10-15 μm; friction life: 478 minutes (standard is 450 minutes); scratch resistance load 2000 Ib; bonding strength: qualified according to ISO2409 cross-cut test method; working environment temperature: -70-380℃; corrosion resistance: no corrosion after 500 hours under neutral salt spray test (ISO3768) conditions.

[0023] This invention improves the performance of different parts of the piston and enhances its durability by applying appropriate coatings to different parts of the piston.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after such changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
