Evolution of Piston Design
The design of the piston has evolved with the ongoing development of the internal combustion engine. The types of materials used to make pistons have changed, as have the design of the piston itself. Wrist pin locations, skirt profiles, piston crowns and ring locations have evolved to provide better durability and performance. Various types of piston coatings have also come about to reduce friction, scuffing, oil retention and heat transfer.
