Abstract
Provided is a spray coating that is disposed on an inner peripheral surface of a cylinder bore of a cylinder block made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The spray coating contains 0.005% to 0.14% by mass of carbon, 0.01% to 3.0% by mass of nickel 10% to 20.5% by mass of chromium, 0.05% to 1.5% by mass of silicon, and a balance containing iron and inevitable impurities. The spray coating has a composition that forms a martensite+ferrite (M+F) region in the Schaeffler diagram, and a composition in which a nickel equivalent (NiE) and a chromium equivalent (CrE) satisfy a relationship expressed by the following Formulae (1): NiE≤0.95 CrE−8.59, (2): NiE≤4.1, and (3): CrE≥10. The spray coating has a two-phase structure formed of a martensite phase and a ferrite phase.
