Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a cylinder liner for insert casting, with which the bonding strength between a cylinder liner and a cylinder block can be improved by reducing voids generated on the cylinder block. The problem is solved by a cylinder liner for insert casting which includes plural projections on its outer peripheral surface and satisfies the following (i) and (ii): (i) the number of the projections is 5 to 50 per 1 cm2 on the outer peripheral surface, and (ii) when two 15.2 mm×0.03 mm lines are set in parallel with a gap of 3.8 mm therebetween at an arbitrary position on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder liner, the total number of projections that are in contact with the two lines is 8 or less.

Abstract: Provided is a cast-iron cylindrical member having projections (P) formed integrally with a casted surface (an outer peripheral surface), and a composite structure including the cast-iron cylindrical member and an outer periphery-side member. The cast-iron cylindrical member satisfies: (A) 0.50 mm>a height (H) of the projections (P)?0.20 mm; (B) 180?a total number (N) of the projections (P) per cm2 of the outer peripheral surface?61; (C) the projections (P) include a projection (Pn) having a constricted shape; (D) a ratio (NP) of the projections (Pn) to the projections (P)?50%; (E) a bonding strength index (S) expressed by: S=H2×N×NP is equal to or larger than 310; and (F1) a bonding strength F(Al) obtained when the outer peripheral surface of the cast-iron cylindrical member is cast-in inserted with an aluminum alloy exceeds a boundary bonding strength (Fb) expressed by: Fb=1.325×H2×N?0.75.
