The document discusses cylinder liner materials used in engines. Common materials include nitrided steels, nitrided cast irons, and heat treated chromium and alloy cast irons. These materials provide at least 50% more wear resistance than the cylinder block material. A typical specification for liner material lists its composition as iron comprising 93.92-92.22%, carbon at 3-3.5%, silicon at 1.8-2.4%, manganese at 0.5-0.8%, phosphorus at 0.4-0.7%, sulfur at 0.08%, and chromium at 0.3%.
