Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0882534A1] A production method for a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine includes a first step and a second step. At the first step, a preform (2) having an inside surface (2a) and an outside surface (2b) is set to a bore core (1) so that a clearance (8) is formed between the inside surface (2a) of the preform and an outside surface (1a) of the bore core (1). At the second step, a molten metal (5) is supplied into a cavity (4) so that the molten metal (5) infiltrates into the preform (2) from both the inside surface (2a) and the outside surface (2b) of the preform (2) thereby changing to a metal matrix composite, which constitutes an inside surface of a cast cylinder block. <IMAGE>
