It is one of the most important functional parts to make up the interior of an engine and it gives a wear protective surface for piston and piston rings. The barrel or bore in which an engine piston moves back and forth may be an integral part of the cylinder block, or it may be a separate liner. It is commonly used in gasoline engines, has the disadvantage of not being replaceable. When excessive wear occurs in a block of this type, the cylinder must be re-bored or honed. Reconditioning of this type cannot be repeated indefinitely and, in time, the entire block must be replaced. Another disadvantage is the inconvenience, especially in large engines, of having to remove the entire cylinder block from a ship in order to recondition the cylinders.

INTRODUCTION A cylinder liner or also known as sleeve (Figure 1) is a cylindrical component that is placed in an engine block to form a cylinder. It is one of the most important functional parts to make up the interior of an engine and it gives a wear protective surface for piston and piston rings. Figure 1 Figure 1. Cross-section of a cylinder in an internal combustion A cylinder wall in an engine is under high temperature and high pressure, with the piston and piston rings sliding at high speeds. In particular, since longer service life is required of engines for trucks and buses, cast iron cylinders that have excellent wear-resistant properties are only used for cylinder parts Also, with the recent trend of lighter engines, materials for engine blocks have been shifting from cast iron to aluminum alloys. However, as the sliding surface for the inner cylinder, the direct sliding motion of aluminum alloys has drawbacks in deformation during operation and wear- resistance. For that reason, cast iron cylinder liners are used in most cases. 1.1 What is the purpose of Liner : The barrel or bore in which an engine piston moves back and forth may be an integral part of the cylinder block, or it may be a separate sleeve or liner. The first type, common in gasoline engines, has the disadvantage of not being replaceable. When excessive wear occurs in a block of this type, the cylinder must be re bored or honed. Reconditioning of this type cannot be repeated indefinitely and, in time, the entire block must be replaced. Another disadvantage is the inconvenience, especially in large engines, of having to remove the entire cylinder block from a ship in order to recondition the cylinders. For these reasons, diesel engines are constructed with replaceable cylinder liners. The cylinder liners we will discuss are representative of those used in diesel engines The material of a liner must withstand the extreme heat and pressure developed within the combustion space at the top of the cylinder and, at the same time, must permit the piston and its sealing rings to move with a minimum of friction. Close-grained cast iron is the material most commonly used for liner construction. (Steel, however, is sometimes used.) Some liners are plated on the wearing surface with porous chromium, because chromium has greater wear-resistant qualities than other materials. Also the pores in the plating tend to hold the lubricating oil and aid in maintaining the lubrication oil film that is necessary for reduction of friction and wear. © 2017, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 6.171 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 1859
