Can you guess what material this ICE piston is made of?

well, if you cheat the answer is here and here.

Yea, you can tell. The textures used for the background suck.

it definitely looks like carbon of some kind. its not plastic or carbon fibre. those have obvious surface qualities.

search on the website brings up

Carbon-Carbon (C-C) composites offer unique material properties such as high strength, light weight, and resistance to high temperature and corrosion. These properties make C-C composites an ideal material for pistons for both stationary and mobile engines.

that doesnt really tell you what that is.

OK, how long does this stuff take to identify?

You're not serious either, are you?

If you mean "do I think the piston is made of Inconel", then no, I don't.

C-C Composites. I know they exist, but personally I don't think I'd trust them.
