To provide a cylinder for a molding machine with a superior workability and economical efficiency as well as a superior wear resistance and corrosion resistance, by increasing volume occupation rate of hard particles in a lining layer.

The cylinder for the molding machine, which is provided with the lining layer containing a wear resistant and corrosion resistant alloy on the inner surface of the hollow and cylindrical base material, is characterized by that granulated grains consisting of hard particles bonded by metal are dispersed in the lining layer. The granulated grain has a higher specific gravity than that of the wear resistant and corrosion resistant alloy, and has a spherical shape with an average diameter of 30-300 μm.
