The M124 Piston material (used in these pistons) is a highly evolved 'Eutectic' material, which contains approximately 12% silicon for excellent strength and excellent thermal expansion properties.
For diesel engines, the Eutectic material is chosen over Hypereutectic material because it bonds better with the ring land or ring groove inserts used to strengthen and better support the piston rings in high performance/ high load diesel applications.
The Eutectic material with MAHLE steel ring groove inserts make a better piston than just a forged aluminum material which does not hold the insert very well.
MAHLE uses Eutectic material so they can install high strength ring-land inserts into the piston grooves for longer life.
1.
MAHLE Piston Pins are made from high strength steels that meet structural requirements to prevent pin breakage or deflection.
2.
They are case hardened to provide long lasting wear surfaces.
3.
A high degree of dimensional and surface finish control are the final requirements for strength and long life.
