Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for producing a piston (10) for an internal combustion engine, said piston comprising a main piston body (11) and a piston ring element (12), the main piston body (11) having at least a piston skirt (15), the piston ring element having at least a piston head (19), a circumferential fire land (21), and a circumferential ring part (22) provided with annular grooves, and the main piston body (11) and the piston ring element (12) forming a circumferential closed cooling channel (23). Said method is characterized by the following steps: (a) providing a blank (11', 111', 211') of a main piston body (11) having an outer joining surface (29, 129, 229) and an inner joining surface (31, 131, 231) and a lower cooling channel part (23a) circulating between the two joining surfaces (29, 31; 129, 131; 229, 231), (b) providing a blank (12', 112', 212') of a piston ring element (12) having an outer joining surface (32, 132, 232) and an inner joining surface (33, 133, 233) and an upper cooling channel part (23b) circulating between the two joining surfaces (32, 33; 132, 133; 232, 233), (c) forming a circumferential expansion (34a, 34b; 134b; 234a, 234b) on at least one joining surface (29, 129, 229, 31, 131, 231; 32, 132, 232, 33, 133, 233), the expansion (34a, 34b; 134b; 234a, 234b) extending to the associated cooling channel part (23a; 23b), (d) connecting the blank (11', 111', 211') of the main piston body (11) to the blank (12', 112', 212') of the piston ring element (12) by means of the joining surfaces (29, 129, 229, 31, 131, 231; 32, 132, 232, 33, 133, 233) thereof using friction welding to form a piston blank (10', 110'), (e) post-processing and/or finishing the piston blank (10', 110') to form a piston (10). The invention further relates to such a piston.
