Abstract

An internal combustion engine is described which comprises a main combustion chamber and a secondary combustion chamber which is arranged in the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine and is connected via a shot channel to the main combustion chamber. To increase the high-temperature stability, the parts of the secondary combustion chamber which are acted upon by the hot gas jet are made of a material of intermetallic phase.
