  • Gasket with an anti-fret coating
    Patent number: 11668396
    Abstract: A gasket for a combustion chamber is provided. The gasket comprises an upper assembly including an upper combustion sealing section with a raised bead positioned between a first component and a second component adjacent to a combustion chamber and an upper fluid sealing section positioned between the first component and the second component at a location spaced away from the combustion chamber. The upper combustion sealing section includes an anti-fret coating on a metal layer, the upper fluid sealing section includes a synthetic rubber coating on a metal layer, and the upper combustion sealing section is greater in thickness than the upper fluid sealing section.
    Type: Grant

  • Multi-layer gasket with improved fatigue resistance
    Patent number: 11635143
    Abstract: A multi-layer head gasket having at least two active layers and a shim layer sandwiched there between. The gasket and shim layer include cylinder openings aligned with the cylinders disposed within an engine block. The shim layer incorporates a plated portion for adding topography to an otherwise flat shim layer, the areas of plating determined based on FEA and/or pressure film load testing, for improving fatigue resistance, sealing pressure, and/or loading characteristics of the gasket.
