How to Start the Manufacturing Business of Auto Piston?

Categories

A piston is a device designed to convert mechanical energy into heat, which forces a fluid or gas to flow. In the world of automobiles, auto pistons serve as components in internal combustion engines. In other words, they create movement when there’s none to be found.

The two major types of auto pistons are single-acting and double-acting. Single-acting autos have one expansion stroke for every power stroke. Double-acting autos use both ends for power strokes. The four parts of an auto piston consist of a hub, an outer race, an inner race, and pins/rods. Although this sounds like a complicated process, it can all come together with relative ease. One pin goes through the outer race while another goes through the inner race. These pins can go up and down as well as side to side, so they’re perfect for converting motion into pressure.

Uses and Application of Auto Piston

The most popular and known application is the use of pistons in the combustion chamber of IC engines.
In a self-loading firearm, the piston is used to push the bolt.
They are used in hydraulic pumps and hydraulic cylinders as ram or double-acting actuators.
Air compressor.
In air conditioners to help circulate the working fluid.
In steam engines to convert the stream to power motion.
Heat pumps.
Other automobile parts and equipment.

Manufacturing of Auto Piston

The piston begins as a nine foot long, solid aluminum rod. The reason aluminum is used is that it’s lightweight, rust-proof, and easy to cut. A saw then cuts the rod into smaller pieces at varied lengths called slugs.

A punch press and dye are pre-heated while the slug moves through an oven, heating it to the same temperature as the punch press. The slug is then removed from the oven, and placed into the punch. The press applies 2,000 tons of pressure onto the slug, forging it into the basic shape of a piston. This process generates a lot of heat, so the piston must be air cooled for one hour.

After the forgings cool down, they go through an oven twice more. The first time is at a higher temperature, to strengthen the metal. The second time is at a lower temperature to stabilize it.

A lathe is then used to cut excess metal from the basic form of the piston, taking it closer to its finished shape. Tiny holes are then drilled into the sides, to create the oil passages for the piston. The same lathe then impresses three rings into the top of the piston. These rings, or grooves, help the piston glide, and allow it to form an air-tight seal.

A large hole is then drilled through both sides of the piston. This is where the wrist pin will go, which is used to attach the piston to the connecting rod during engine assembly.

A milling machine then shaves up to a couple of centimeters off of each side of the piston where the large holes were drilled for the wrist pin insertion. This is to reduce the overall weight of the piston. Another milling machine takes some more metal off of the area where the three rings were formed earlier, bringing the piston one step closer to its final form.

Another lathe shaves a few more millimeters off of the top, allowing the piston to expand when heat builds up inside of it. Then a machine engraves model and production information. A human worker then smooths out the sharp edges of the piston created during production. The holes created for the wrist pin are then put through a machine which smooths them, allowing the wrist pin to fit comfortably. Finally, the pistons sprayed by hot, deionized water, removing any lubricant or oil gathered through the manufacturing process. After they’re dry, they’re ready for use.

Indian Market Outlook of Auto Piston

The automotive industry in India is growing at a fast pace owing to collective increase in the number of two wheelers, three wheelers, passenger and commercial vehicles segment and used cars segment. Economic reforms of 1991 and permission of up to 100% FDI in the automobile sector has been some of the major factors responsible for sustained growth of the automotive industry in India. The non-automotive segment for instance, generators market leading to small scale power generation is expected to witness growth owing to expansion in infrastructure, establishment of new industries and changing business environment in the country.

Demand for auto piston in India has grown in recent years as the population and industry expands. The country offers a vast labor pool and a stable economy, which should bode well for both consumer and industrial demand. While auto piston may not be as technologically advanced in India, it may prove to be a stronger industry than in many other countries due to lower barriers to entry and an emerging market. Due weathered economic climates, many foreign investors are looking for opportunities in emerging markets such as India. With a low cost of living and educated workforce, India’s potential is difficult to ignore.
