Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cylinder block of an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder bore wall that holds a piston so as to allow the piston to reciprocate. In at least one part of the cylinder bore wall in a cylinder axial direction, the density of a layer located farther from a cylinder head is lower than the density of a layer located closer to the cylinder head in the cylinder axial direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cylinder block of an internal combustion engine, the cylinder block comprising a cylinder bore wall capable of holding a piston such that the piston reciprocates, wherein the cylinder block has a water jacket through which engine coolant flows, the cylinder bore wall includes a cylinder liner and a main wall, the main wall is located on an outer circumferential side of the cylinder liner and on an inner side of the water jacket in a cylinder radial direction, at least one part of the main wall in a cylinder axial direction includes a plurality of main wall layers that are different from one another in density, and the plurality of main wall layers include a first main wall layer and a second main wall layer, wherein the first main wall layer is located closer to a cylinder head in the cylinder axial direction than the second main wall layer and has a higher density than the second main wall layer. 2. The cylinder block of an internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein at least one part of the cylinder liner in the cylinder axial direction includes a plurality of cylinder liner layers that are different from one another in density. 3. The cylinder block of an internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein, in the at least one part of the main wall in the cylinder axial direction, a density of the main wall decreases stepwise as a distance from the cylinder head increases. 4. The cylinder block of an internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein at least one part of the cylinder liner in the cylinder axial direction includes a plurality of cylinder liner layers that are different from one another in density, a first cylinder liner layer is located closer to the cylinder head in the cylinder axial direction than a second cylinder liner layer and has a higher density than the second cylinder liner layer, and at least one of the main wall or the cylinder liner further includes a third layer closer to the cylinder head in the cylinder axial direction than the first main wall layer or the first cylinder liner layer, respectively, the third layer having a lower density than the first main wall layer or the first cylinder liner layer, respectively, and the third layer being made of the same material as the first main wall layer or the first cylinder liner layer, respectively.
