          Forged vs Cast Pistons

When a piston is cast, the alloy is heated until it is a liquid, and then it is poured into a mold to create its basic shape. After the alloy cools and solidifies, it is removed from the mold and the rough casting is machined to its final shape. When a stronger piston then casting can provide is desired, then they can be forged. This is when the rough casting is placed in a die set while it is still hot and a hydraulic press is used to place the rough slug under a tremendous amount of pressure. This removes any possible porosity and also pushes the alloy grains together tighter than what can be achieved by simple casting alone, resulting in a much stronger material.

Hypereutectic pistons can be forged, but typically are only cast. This is because cast pistons are considered strong enough for stock applications, and the extra expense is not justified

Hypereutectic Pistons

Our hypereutectic aluminum alloy pistons have a high silicon content. These pistons are much stronger than a regular cast piston. You can run tighter skirt clearances with a hypereutectic piston than with a forged piston and avoid that cold start piston slap. In addition to strength, the hypereutectic improves resistance to scuffs and seizure, and generally runs cooler.

Hypereutectic aluminum has 15% less thermal expansion than conventional piston alloys. The silicon keeps the heat in the combustion chamber and prevents heat transfer, allowing the piston to run cooler. The silicon gives the hypereutectic its thermal and wear characteristics.
