Abstract
Disclosed is a piston for internal-combustion engines, which includes a low thermal-conductive member disposed at the top portion thereof, the low thermal-conductive member including an alloy containing Fe and Mn. The low thermal-conductive member includes a sintered body having 10˜60 mass % of Mn, 2 mass % or less of C, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. Since the piston has the low thermal-conductive member having low thermal conductivity and thermal expansion properties similar to those of the aluminum alloy, which is the base metal of the piston, an increase in the temperature of a combustion chamber and vaporization of fuel are effectively promoted. Furthermore, thermal fatigue failure and separation of the low thermal-conductive member are prevented.
