An object of the present invention is to, while forming a heat insulating layer on a squish area surface of a top surface of a piston main body, prevent generation of large cracks on the heat insulating layer and suppress damages and peeling of the heat insulating layer. To achieve this object, in the present invention, pressure is applied to a heat insulating layer provided on a top surface of a piston main body, that is, a pressing stress is applied to the heat insulating layer in advance.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an aging heat treatment that can be used to replace conventional aging steps when making alloy embodiments of the present disclosure. Embodiments of the disclosed aging heat treatment reduce cost and complexity in producing aluminum alloy-based components while also promoting and/or improving microstructure stability of the aluminum alloys.

A piston pin assembly is provided including a cylindrical pin body having a hollow interior. A mass is disposed in the hollow interior of the cylindrical pin body and a viscoelastic, plastic, or elastomeric material is disposed in the hollow interior between the mass and the cylindrical pin body. The mass and viscoelastic, plastic, and elastomeric material provides a damper for the piston and piston pin to delay the acceleration of piston lateral motion and stabilize the piston rotation and reduce the noise and friction.
