Abstract

A cylinder liner for an internal combustion engine may include an outer circumferential surface defined by the cylinder liner composed of a gray cast iron for integrally casting onto a cast material of an engine block. A bonding component may be included for strengthening a bond of the outer circumferential surface to the cast material of the engine block. The bonding component may include at least one of a wire mesh and a wire grid that does not melt during a casting operation of the engine block. The bonding component may be arranged at least in a predefined region on the outer circumferential surface. The bonding component may be welded at least partially to the outer circumferential surface.
