Piston.

It should offer sufficient resistance to corrosion due to some properties of combustion It should have the shortest possible length so as to decrease overall engine size. Material should have a high thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer so that higher compression ratios may be used with out the occurrence of detonation. It must have a long life It should be lighter in weight so that inertia forces created by its reciprocating motion are minimum. The surface of the piston should be smooth & groove free. Good castability. Good resistance to surface abrasion, to reduced skirt & ring groove wears. Good thermal conductivity to keep piston temperatures low. igh hot strength. igh strength!to!mass ratio.

It should offer sufficient resistance to corrosion. It should have enough strength to withstand the forces to which it is sub+ected i.e. the bending & twisting moments. It should have enough rigidity to keep the distortion a minimum. It should have enough stiffness to minimize & resist the stresses due to torsional vibrations of the shaft.
