Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An MMC cylinder liner comprises an inner tubular portion and an outer tubular portion. The inner tubular portion includes a metal matrix composite formed of a compact impregnated with an Al—Si alloy wherein the compact is made of a reinforcing material. The outer tubular portion is formed of the Al—Si alloy. The Si concentration of the Al—Si alloy impregnated into the compact of the inner tubular portion is different from the Si concentration of the Al—Si alloy of the outer tubular portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a MMC cylinder liner comprising an inner tubular portion including a metal matrix composite formed of a compact impregnated with an Al—Si alloy, the compact being made of a reinforcing material; and an outer tubular portion formed of the Al—Si alloy, wherein the method comprises: fitting a compact in a tubular form that has a generally circular cross-section over a core having generally cylindrical configuration, wherein the comp…
