We all know that function of Piston is to convert the thermal energy to mechanical energy under the high temperature and gas pressure. The main objective of this project is to improve the structural and thermal behaviour of the piston and this is done by using a coating of a material on the piston. Model of the piston is developed from Hero Splendor-Pro engine specifications by theoretical calculation. Finite Element Analysis performed using analysis software ANSYS Workbench for the (uncoated) piston of aluminium alloy material and ceramic (Nickel chromium aluminium - NiCrAl and Aluminium oxide - Al2O3) coated piston of composite (Aluminium silicon carbide – AlSiC) material. Structural analysis is to evaluate the total deformation, equivalent stress and equivalent elastic strain; and thermal analysis to evaluate the temperature distribution and total heat flux. By the result of analysis, we would be able to find whether ceramic coating for the piston is feasible or not.
