ABSTRACT:
A two-part piston for an internal combustion engine, comprising a piston head and a piston skirt connected with the piston head in articulated manner, by way of a piston pin. The piston head has a piston crown that is followed by a cylindrical circumference surface having a top land and a ring belt. The piston head can include a ring-shaped circumferential cooling channel disposed within the piston head. The opening of this cooling channel faces the piston skirt, and is closed off with a seal element. There is a seal element that has a first free end that is held between piston head and piston skirt, or rests against an outer wall of the cooling channel. The seal element has a second free end that rests against the piston head, and wherein the seal element has a bottom that lies on a surface of the piston skirt that faces the cooling channel.
