An aluminum piston is a type of piston utilized in internal combustion engines, typically crafted from aluminum alloy materials. Its primary role is to transfer the force generated by fuel and air combustion within the cylinder to the crankshaft, thereby converting linear motion into rotational motion. Aluminum pistons are widely favored in automotive engines due to their capacity to endure high temperatures and pressures, as well as their resistance to corrosion.

The primary aluminum alloy types used for pistons are aluminum 2618 and aluminum 4032. Aluminum 2618 is recognized for its high strength and superior performance in elevated temperatures and challenging environments. It finds extensive use in aerospace applications, particularly in aircraft engines and structural components where reliability under stress and high temperatures is critical.
