A wear-resistant member that is slidingly contacted with a hard member, wherein the wear-resistant member is formed of an alloy in which hard particles having an average particle size of 10 to 150 μm are bonded by a bonding portion.

A piston for an internal combustion engine has box walls (18), which are each formed between skirt walls (12) and gudgeon pin bosses (10). At least one of the box walls (18) on a thrust side at least on the lower edge and at least on the inner side, starting from the gudgeon pin boss (10), in a first portion (20), runs largely straight and is inclined outwards, and then runs curved inwards, and then, in a second portion (16), runs largely straight and inclined inwards to the skirt wall (12).

A piston for an internal combustion engine comprises a skirt defining an inner space of the piston and having a skirt bottom; and a target arranged under the skirt bottom to engage with a passage detector arranged in the engine. The target is supported by a holding body held at least partially inside the inner space of the piston. The present disclosure likewise relates to an engine comprising such a piston.

A piston (1) having a piston shaft (2), a ball head (3) at one end of the piston shaft (2), and a slider shoe (4) mounted to the ball head (3), wherein the ball head (3) has a through channel (5), the slider shoe (4) has a sliding surface (6) and a through hole (7) in communication with an end of the through channel (5), and a plastic material (8) is arranged in a gap between the slider shoe (4) and the ball head (3) and forms an inner coating (9) of the through hole (7). The production of such a piston should be facilitated. To this end a sealing surface (14) is arranged at the end of the through channel (5) wherein the sealing surface (14) surrounds the opening of the through channel (5) into the through bore (7) and an inner diameter of the sealing surface (14) is smaller than an inner diameter of the inner coating (9) of the through bore (7).

A piston with an oil return channel may include a piston head, a piston skirt, and an oil return hole. The piston head may include a ring groove. The piston skirt may be connected to the piston head. The piston skirt may have a surface including a concave face window. A connection between the face window and the ring groove may form a residual ring bank. The oil return hole may be formed by milling on the residual ring bank. The oil return hole may connect the ring groove close to the piston skirt with the face window. A depth of the oil return hole may be greater than a depth of the ring groove.
