Piston is the integral part of the engine where combustion occurs and maximum heat is produced. Hence it is necessary to choose an appropriate material to serve this purpose. The material chosen should withstand the heat and the shear stress that is produced during the process. Aluminium is chosen as the material to serve this purpose as it can withstand the above said properties. Number of alloys of aluminium has been discovered that serves the need. In this paper, comparative study of the structural and thermal behaviour of the piston that is designed with Al-6081 t6 alloy. The results are convincing to choose Al-6081 as the piston materials than other conventional alloys of aluminium. To serve this purpose the piston was modelled in Solidworks 14 and analysed in Ansys 15.
