Abstract The article is devoted to improving the physical, mechanical and operational characteristics of cast internal combustion engine pistons made of aluminum alloy using secondary charge. The advantage of the proposed approach is that these parts are manufactured from any aluminum alloy using the remelting of failed internal combustion engine parts of the same name. The paper shows that while using a secondary charge in the form of remelting failed parts of the same name, the quality of cast products not only does not deteriorate, but, on the contrary, their physical and mechanical characteristics even increase. It should be noted that the high density of the alloy obtained from remelting failed pistons and the high degree of its modification confirmed the authors’ assumption that in this case refining and modification operations can be avoided. The presented approach using the remelting of failed parts makes it possible not only to save fresh charge materials, but also to preserve the chemical composition of the primary parts, and, consequently, the level of their physical, mechanical and operational characteristics.
