Design and Analysis of Four Stroke I.C. Engine of TATA Indica Piston using FEA

1. This paper focuses on the optimization of material selection for the TATA INDICA Piston through a comparative analysis of three different materials. The materials investigated include A2618, ALGHY1250, and ALGHY1250 with changed dimensions. The Total Deformation, Equivalent Stress (Von Mises Stress), and mass of each material were measured and analyzed. The results demonstrate that ALGHY1250 with changed dimensions performs better than the other materials. It shows a Total Deformation of 0.23555 mm, Equivalent Stress of 393.04 MPa, and a mass of 0.22263 kg. The obtained Equivalent Stress values for all materials are well below the permissible limit. The reduced mass of ALGHY1250 with changed dimensions, being 5.94% less than A2618 and 9.6% less than ALGHY1250 without dimension modification, further enhances its suitability. Therefore, it is concluded that ALGHY1250 with changed dimensions is the most appropriate material choice for the TATA INDICA Piston.
