Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cylinder liner for an engine block that includes an inter-bore saw cut includes a first engine block bonding surface, and a second engine block bonding surface that has a lower level of bonding between the cylinder liner and an engine block than the first engine block bonding surface. The second engine block bonding surface extending from an axial end portion of the liner a distance greater than a depth of the saw cut in inter-bore section of the engine block.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cylinder liner for an engine block that includes an inter-bore saw cut, comprising: a first engine block bonding surface; and a second engine block bonding surface that has a lower level of bonding between the cylinder liner and an engine block than the first engine block bonding surface, the second engine block bonding surface axially extending from an axial end portion of the liner a distance greater than a depth of the saw cut in an inter-bore section of the engine block, wherein the first engine block bonding surface comprises an as-cast surface. 2. The liner of claim 1 , wherein the as-cast surface comprises a spiny-lock surface. 3. The liner of claim 1 , wherein the as-cast surface comprises a plurality of projections radially extending between about 0.3 to 0.7 millimeters. 4. The liner of claim 1 , wherein the second engine block bonding surface comprises a machined surface. 5. The liner of claim 1 , wherein the first engine block bonding surface axially extends from the second engine block bonding surface across substantially the remaining axial extent of the liner. 6. The liner of claim 1 , wherein the first engine block bonding surface is configured to provide a strong mechanical bond and a high thermal conductivity between the liner and the engine block and wherein the second engine block bonding surface is configured to provide a reduced mechanical bond between the liner and the engine block such that a differing coefficient of thermal expansion between the liner material and the engine block material has a reduced stress transfer from the engine block to the liner during a cooling of the liner material and the engine block material in a casting process. 7. The liner of claim 1 , wherein the second engine block bonding surface is configured to permit an axial displacement between the second engine block bonding surface and the engine block during a cooling of the cylinder liner and engine block material. 8. A method of manufacturing a cylinder liner for an engine block that includes an inter-bore saw cut, the method comprising: providing a cylinder liner having a first engine block bonding surface; and removing a portion of the first engine block bonding surface to provide a second engine block bonding surface having a lower level of bonding between the cylinder liner and the engine block than the first engine block bonding surface, wherein the second engine block bonding surface axially extends from an axial end portion of the liner a distance greater than a depth of the saw cut in an inter-bore section of the engine block. 9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first engine block bonding surface comprises an as-cast surface. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the as-cast surface comprises a spiny-lock surface. 11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the as-cast surface comprises a plurality of projections radially extending between about 0.3 to 0.7 millimeters. 12. The method of claim 8 , wherein removing a portion of the first engine block surface comprises machining a portion of the first engine block surface. 13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first engine block bonding surface extends from the second engine block bonding surface across substantially the remaining axial extent of the liner. 14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first engine block bonding surface provides a strong mechanical bond and a high thermal conductivity between the liner and the engine block and wherein the second engine block bonding surface provides a reduced mechanical bond between the liner and the engine block such that the differing coefficient of thermal expansion between the liner material and the engine block material has a reduced stress transfer from the engine block to the liner during a cooling of the liner material and the engine block material in a casting process. 15. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second engine block bonding surface is configured to permit an axial displacement between the second engine block bonding surface and the engine block during a cooling of the cylinder liner and engine block material in a casting process.
