Manufacturing Process of Piston
Process Operation Sequence
Rough Turning and Facing
Locating Seat
Pre Boring
Pre Oval turning
Pin / Oil Hole Drilling
Grooving
Finish Oval Turning
Fine Boring
Fine Facing and Cavity Turning
Valve Pocket
Circlip Grooving
Rough Turning and Facing
• Remove extra material from the casted piston come from the
foundary
• Rough turning tool (SPUN) - Carbide
• Facing tool (BRAZE) - Carbide
Locating Seat
• Create locating seat to make the piston easily holdable
during other operations
• Top chamfer given by tool at 45 degree
• Locating seat cutting tool (carbide)
• Chamfering tool (Diamond

Pre Boring
• Remove extra material from pin bore dia during casting
• Pre Boring coil (Carbide)
• Product parameters – Bore Dia, Bore Height, Bore offset
Pre Oval Turning

• Make difference between Top Diameter and Bottom Diameter

of the piston
• Tool – RDNX Tip (Diamond / Carbide)

Pin / Oil Hole Drilling

• Oil hole is drilled b/w the ring grooves for the oil returning and
Pin hole is drilled inside the boss
• Product parameters – No. of Holes, Diameter of holes
• Hole drill (HSS, Carbide)
Grooving Operation

• Grooves are cut on piston surface called as Ring Zone

• Grooving Tool (Carbide)
• Product Parameters – Groove Dia, Groove Width

Finish Oval Turning

• Final finish given to the check the diameters of the piston

• Product Parameters – Ovality , Surface finish, Diameters
• Cutting chip (Diamond)
Fine Boring

• Final finishing of the bore dia

• Boring Mandrel Consist of 2 Diamond tips
• Product Parameters – Pin bore Dia, Bore finish

Fine Facing And Turning

• Fine finishing of Piston crown and Cavity

• Product parameters – Compression height, Cavity Dia and
Depth
• Facing and Cavity Turning Tool (Diamond)
Circlip Grooving
• Circlip grooves are cut to fix the Gudgeon pin
• Product parameters – Circlip width , Dia and circlip distance
• Circlip Grooving Tool (Carbide)
 CONCLUSION
It was a great experience to explore new
technologies and study several manufacturing
process. I learned about the manufacturing of
Piston .
