Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 80 words
A light metal piston for a combustion engine, said piston having a combustion cavity including an edge, only said edge being eloxated to provide a coating of eloxated material in the zone at and adjacent to said edge, and only that zone of the piston being subsequently compressed after eloxation in such a manner that the depth of the compressed effect is approximately the same as the depth of the eloxated material, this depth being between 40 and 150 μm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 80 words
A light metal piston for a combustion engine, said piston having a combustion cavity including an edge, only said edge being eloxated to provide a coating of eloxated material in the zone at and adjacent to said edge, and only that zone of the piston being subsequently compressed after eloxation in such a manner that the depth of the compressed effect is approximately the same as the depth of the eloxated material, this depth being between 40 and 150 μm.
