A method for the production of a piston made of steel, for an internal combustion engine, in which the upper piston part is produced using the forging method, and the lower piston part is produced using the forging or casting method, and they are subsequently welded to one another. To simplify the production method and make it cheaper, the upper piston part is forged using the method of hot forming and of cold calibration, to finish it to such an extent that further processing of the combustion bowl and of the upper cooling channel regions can be eliminated. |

1. A method for the production of a piston for an internal combustion engine, comprising the following steps:
producing an upper piston part made of steel by forging, said upper piston part having a piston crown having a combustion bowl, a ring wall formed onto the piston crown radially on the outside, directed downward, and a ring-shaped support disposed radially within the ring wall formed onto an underside of the piston crown, wherein an upper part of a cooling channel is formed between the ring wall and the support, producing a lower piston part made of steel by forging or casting, said lower piston part having two skirt elements that lie opposite one another, which are connected with one another by way of two pin bosses that lie opposite one another, a ring-shaped contact part disposed on a top of the lower piston part and connected with the pin boss, and a circumferential ring rib disposed radially outside of the contact part and connected with the skirt elements, wherein a lower part of the cooling channel is formed between the contact part and the ring rib, welding the upper piston part to the lower piston part by way of contact surfaces of the ring wall and the ring rib, and of the support and the contact part, respectively, wherein the cooling channel formed by the upper piston part and by the lower piston part is closed, and finishing the piston using a chip-cutting production method, wherein during the step of producing the upper piston part, an upper piston part blank is pre-formed using the hot-forming method, at 1200° C. to 1300° C., after which the upper piston part, blank is cold-formed at 0° C. to 150°C., after which the combustion bowl and/or the upper part of the cooling channel undergo no further processing, and subsequently a radially outer region of the piston crown, a radially outer region of the ring wall, a lower region of an inner surface of the ring wall, and the contact surface of the support of the upper piston blank are finished to produce the upper piston part. |
