める結果を招来する。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The goal of fuel-efficient, quiet, and low-vibration engines and vehicles has resulted in high demands on the structural components that constitute them. In order to achieve this goal, it is important to reduce the mass of structural members that will be put into practical use. This is because this reduction provides a broader secondary weight reduction to the engine and vehicle, and in addition to this weight reduction, provides a larger fuel consumption savings. And said reduction in mass of structural members results in lower vibrations in the engine,
This not only promotes more effective noise suppression, but also results in even greater comfort.

して比較的に低い。[0004] However, magnesium materials have significant drawbacks when compared to aluminum-silicon alloys that are commonly used in the manufacture of light metal pistons for internal combustion engines. In other words, the service life of a piston made of magnesium material is shortened in proportion to the mixed wear that occurs during start-up, steady-state and emergency operation of the driven engine due to the lack of wear resistance. Also, its strength is relatively low against dynamic stresses caused by gas pressure.

Production from magnesium materials has hitherto been insufficient. It is true that JP-63-042338A discloses a piston for an internal combustion engine made of a magnesium alloy and reinforced with 3 to 30% by volume aluminum oxide-silicon oxide fiber, but this type of light metal piston is It has not been put into practical use so far. This is because pistons of this type cause relatively high wear on the cylinder sliding surfaces.

た特に、高温時の疲れ強さを向上させる。When magnesium silicide or silicon is added to a magnesium or magnesium alloy melt, a separation of finely layered eutectic magnesium silicide and primary separated bulk magnesium silicide is obtained during solidification. This gives the structural member good strength properties at high temperatures. In particular, it improves fatigue strength at high temperatures.

A structure containing predominantly magnesium silicide and resulting in a network structure of eutectic magnesium silicide yields a remarkable high-temperature strength (cohesive strength) of the structural member.
