A piston is an integral part of an engine which reciprocates at very high speed thus producing combustion resulting in movement of the vehicle. The main purpose of a piston is to transfer power from gas in cylinder to crankshaft through connecting rod. Usually the piston is made of aluminium alloy to make it less weight and thermal conductivity. But the aluminium alloy piston has less strength and high coefficient of thermal expansion, thus making it not suitable for high temperature experience. Carbon-carbon fibre, a carbon reinforced matrix is used as an alternative for aluminium alloy piston so as to overcome the problems faced. SolidWorks was used to design the 3D model of engine piston. Structural and Thermal analysis was made in Ansys 15.0. After analysis, carbon- carbon composite was found to be better than Aluminium alloy in terms of thermal conductivity, thermal expansion and very minimal wear, high resistance, strength to weight ratio, high temperature performance.
