Global Automotive Piston Pin Market 2015-2019

About automotive piston and piston pin
An automotive piston is a tubular piece of metal that moves up and down inside the cylinder of an engine. It generates mechanical energy that provides the necessary power to drive the shaft and consequently the wheels of an automobile. In an engine, automotive piston primarily functions by transferring force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via piston rod or with the help of a connecting rod. 

A piston pin, otherwise called as gudgeon pin, acts as the link between a piston and the connecting rod. Usually hollow, made of alloy steel, these are made to withstand high load and highest temperature generated in the combustion chamber. With its impact on piston working and performance of an engine, a piston pin must meet different requirements in terms of strength and surface hardness to withstand high load and temperature. It must be of lightweight, to keep inertia forces minimal, and stiffness must be matched to piston design to avoid overloading to the piston.
