Piston materials: MMC, ceramic info search
Piston materials: MMC, ceramic info search
(OP)
I'm looking for quality information (websites, journals, etc) on piston materials.
Specifically, metal matrix composites, ceramics, and design constraints of these materials in the piston application.
Any links to companies that manufacture such pistons would be useful too.
Thanks everyone!

Toyota has been using MMC pistons in Diesel engines for some time now. Kolbenschmidt is one manufacturer of these pistons. For more information, check out:
