The pressure of the combustion gas in a diesel engine is higher than that in a gasoline engine, so the cylinder head gasket that seals the combustion chamber is exposed to a severe environment. The sealability of the gaskets is affected not only by the gasket specifications, but also by the cylinder head, cylinder block, and the head bolts that clamp them. Consequently, in order to improve the performance of these gaskets, it is essential to enhance their material characteristics. Because the necessary characteristics of a gasket material are high strength and high fatigue strength, methods of realizing these enhancements were studied, and a new material was developed. It was confirmed that a gasket made using the newly developed material withstood high combustion pressure, and the gasket was used in a high performance diesel engine.
