Description
- This is a divisional application of Ser. No. 15/712,477 filed on May 14, 2015, which claims priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-230619 filed on Nov. 13, 2014.
- The present invention relates to a gasket, and more specifically, relates to the gasket which can improve a seal performance without causing an insufficient fastening force even in a case wherein a fastening force by a fastening device is low.
- There is proposed a gasket wherein a hardness lowering area where the hardness is locally reduced is provided only at one portion of a seal bead annularly formed in a ferritic stainless steel plate (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-027999).
- The gasket retains high hardness portions except for the hardness lowering area to obtain a spring characteristic, and an elongation in the hardness lowering area of the seal bead so as to prevent an edge portion of the seal bead from cracking. Incidentally, a metal plate forming the gasket is an austenitic stainless steel plate represented by SUS301-CSPH and SUS304-CSPH or the ferritic stainless steel plate represented by SUS430 specified in JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards), and the hardness thereof is set at a Vickers hardness value of 400 HV to 550 HV. Also, the hardness of the hardness lowering area is set at the Vickers hardness value of 170 HV to 445 HV.
- Recently, in order to improve fuel consumption of an engine, thicknesses of a cylinder head and a cylinder block are reduced to attain weight reduction and low rigidity. Consequently, with the reduction of the thicknesses of the cylinder head and the cylinder block, a bolt fastening force of the gasket is reduced.
- Thus, in a case wherein the bolt fastening force is reduced, in the gasket described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-027999, even a portion where the reinforcement of the seal performance is unnecessary becomes the high hardness as well, so that when the cylinder head and the cylinder block are fastened, the gasket causes the insufficient fastening force so as to deteriorate the seal performance.
- The present invention is made in view of the aforementioned problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gasket and a method for manufacturing a gasket which can improve the seal performance without causing the insufficient fastening force even in the case wherein the fastening force by the fastening devices is low. Further objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the invention.
- In order to solve the aforementioned problem, a gasket of the present invention is formed by one sheet of metal plate or two or more sheets of laminated metal plates, clamped between two members fastened by a fastening device, and comprises an opening portion corresponding to a sealing hole provided in at least one of the two members; a seal bead protruding toward one of the two members from a flat surface of the metal plate, and annularly surrounding the opening portion; and an insertion hole wherein the fastening device is inserted to pass therethrough. At least one sheet of the metal plates is formed by a martensitic stainless steel plate, and a high hardness portion having hardness higher than that of the stainless steel plate is formed in the at least one portion of the seal bead formed in the stainless steel plate.
- Also, in order to solve the aforementioned problem, a method for manufacturing a gasket of the present invention to be clamped between two members fastened by the fastening devices, comprises a process of forming an opening portion corresponding to a sealing hole provided in at least one of two members, a seal bead protruding toward the one of the two members from a flat surface of a stainless steel plate and annularly surrounding the opening portion, and an insertion hole wherein a fastening device is inserted to pass therethrough, in the one sheet of metal plate, or at least one sheet of martensitic stainless steel plate among two or more sheets of laminated metal plates. After that, the method for manufacturing the gasket carries out a process of forming the high hardness portion having the hardness higher than that of the stainless steel plate by applying hardening processing wherein laser is irradiated to at least one portion of the seal bead.
- According to the gasket and the method for manufacturing the gasket of the present invention, at least one sheet of metal plate forming the gasket is formed by a martensitic stainless steel plate, and the high hardness portion having the hardness higher than that of the surroundings is formed at one portion of the seal bead formed in the stainless steel plate thereof. Thereby, the hardness of the whole gasket can be reduced, so that even in a case wherein a fastening force by the fastening device is low, an insufficient fastening force can be prevented, and the hardness at a portion where a seal performance is necessary is increased by the high hardness portion so as to improve the seal performance.
- For example, when the gasket is fastened by the fastening device, the high hardness portion is formed at a portion which becomes a low surface pressure of the seal bead so as to reinforce the portion thereof, or the hardness rising or falling portions are provided in a circumferential direction of the seal bead so as to equalize the seal performance.

Incidentally, in
FIG. 1 toFIG. 8(b) , sizes are changed to easily intelligibly understand a structure, and the sizes of a cylinder bore or water and oil holes, and sizes of thickness, shape, and the like of a bead do not necessarily correspond to ratios of portions actually manufactured. Also, dotted lines in the drawings show mountain folds in a plan view, and dot-and-dash lines show valley folds. -
FIG. 1 shows a structure of agasket 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Thegasket 20 is clamped between acylinder head 12 and acylinder block 13 fastened bybolts 11 which are fastening devices for anengine 10. - In the
cylinder head 12, there is assembled an injector or an intake-exhaust valve which is not shown in the drawings, andinsertion holes 14 pass through in an up-and-down direction. In thecylinder block 13, there are formed fourcylinder bores 15 as sealing holes, and inside thecylinder bores 15, there are assembled pistons which are not shown in the drawings reciprocatingly in the up-and-down direction. Also, in thecylinder block 13, as the sealing holes, there are formed water andoil holes 16 such as water holes for water jacket, oil holes for lubricant oil, and the like formed on an outer periphery of thecylinder bore 15. Additionally, on the outer periphery of thecylinder bore 15, there are formed fourbolt holes 17 relative to onecylinder bore 15. Incidentally, theengine 10 is not limited to a closed deck type, and may be an open deck type. - The
gasket 20 is formed by sequentially laminating a plurality ofmetal plate 21,metal plate 22, andmetal plate 23 from the top. - In the
gasket 20, there are formed fouropening portions 24 disposed corresponding to thecylinder bores 15; a plurality of water-oil-hole openingportions 25 disposed corresponding to the water-oil holes 16; andinsertion holes 26 passing through in the up-and-down direction corresponding to thebolt holes 17. Also, in thegasket 20, there are respectively formedbead portions 27 disposed at peripheral edge portions of thebore opening portions 24; water-oil-hole bead portions 28 disposed at peripheral edge portions of the water-oil-hole openingportions 25; and insertion-hole bead portions 29 disposed at peripheral edge portions of theinsertion holes 26. In the bore beadportion 27, the water-oil-hole bead portion 28, and the insertion-hole bead portion 29, there are formed seal beads, respectively. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , in thebore bead portion 27, there are formed afirst bore bead 30 protruding downward from a flat surface of themetal plate 21 and annularly surrounding thebore opening portion 24 as a seal bead; and a foldedportion 32 folding anend portion 31 on abore opening portion 24 side of themetal plate 21 downward. - Also, inside the folded
portion 32, there is disposed a ring-shaped member 33 annularly surrounding thebore opening portion 24. In the ring-shaped member 33, there is formed asecond bore bead 34 protruding upward from a flat surface thereof and annularly surrounding thebore opening portion 24 as a seal bead. The ring-shaped member 33 is disposed on thebore opening portion 24 side more than theend portion 31 of themetal plate 21, and clamped between themetal plate 21 and themetal plate 23. - In such a
gasket 20, themetal plate 21, themetal plate 23, and the ring-shaped member 33 are formed by a martensitic stainless steel plate, and there are formedhigh hardness portions 35 having a hardness higher than that of themetal plate 21 and that of the ring-shaped member 33 in at least one portion of thefirst bore bead 30 and in at least one portion of thesecond bore bead 34. - As for the martensitic stainless steel plate, for example, there can be shown as an example of SUS403, SUS410, SUS420J1, and the like specified in JIS. Also, the hardness of the stainless steel plate is set at a Vickers hardness value of 100 HV or above and 234 HV or less.
- The martensitic stainless steel plate having the Vickers hardness value of 100 HV or above and 234 HV or less is used for the
metal plate 21, themetal plate 23, and the ring-shaped member 33, more preferably, the martensitic stainless steel plate having a Vickers hardness value of 150 HV or above and 190 HV or less is used so as to reduce the hardness of thewhole gasket 20 and become advantageous for solving an insufficient fastening force in a case wherein a fastening force of thebolts 11 is low. - Incidentally, the hardness of each of the
metal plate 21, themetal plate 23, and the ring-shaped member 33 may have a different hardness, respectively. Also, themetal plate 22 can be formed by the martensitic stainless steel plate as well; however, it is preferable that themetal plate 22 has the hardness higher than that of themetal plate 21 and that of themetal plate 23, and has a characteristic as a spring material. Thehigh hardness portions 35 are formed at a portion where a surface pressure in a circumferential direction of thefirst bore bead 30 is low, and a portion where a surface pressure in a circumferential direction of thesecond bore bead 34 is low when thecylinder head 12 and thecylinder block 13 are fastened by thebolts 11. - Incidentally, it is sufficient that the
high hardness portions 35 are formed at aface 21 a on a side where the first bore bead 30 protrudes, and aface 33a on a side where the second bore bead 34 protrudes, wherein the surface pressure is applied the most in a case of being fastened by at least thebolts 11. However, as with the embodiment, if thehigh hardness portions 35 are formed in an entire portion of the first bore bead 30 (including theface 21 a and a face on the opposite side) or an entire portion of thesecond bore bead 34 in a cross-sectional view, it becomes advantageous for improving a seal performance further. - The hardness of the
high hardness portion 35 is preferably set at a Vickers hardness value of 200HV or above and 500HV or less, and in a case of being formed in thebore bead portion 27, it is more preferable that the hardness of thehigh hardness portion 35 is set at a Vickers hardness value of 250 HV or above and 350 HV or less. The hardness of thehigh hardness portion 35 is set at the hardness of the stainless steel plate or above, so that the hardness of a portion which becomes a low surface pressure of thebore bead portion 27 increases so as to become advantageous for improving the seal performance. - According to the
aforementioned gasket 20, among the members forming thegasket 20, at least themetal plate 21, themetal plate 23, and the ring-shaped member 33 are formed by the martensitic stainless steel plate, so that even in a case wherein the hardness of thewhole gasket 20 is reduced, and the fastening force by thebolts 11 is low, the insufficient fastening force can be prevented. - Also, the
high hardness portion 35 having the hardness higher than that of the surroundings is formed at the portion which becomes the low surface pressure of the bore bead portion of thegasket 20, so that when thegasket 20 is clamped between thecylinder head 12 and thecylinder block 13, and fastened by thebolts 11, the portion which becomes the low surface pressure can be reinforced. - As shown in
FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b) , in theaforementioned gasket 20, it is preferable that thehigh hardness portion 35 extends to aportion 36 adjacent to thefirst bore bead 30 in a plan view. Thus, thehigh hardness portion 35 includes theportion 36 adjacent to thefirst bore bead 30 in the plan view so as to include a portion outside a bent portion of thefirst bore bead 30 as well. Accordingly, an occurrence of a crack at the bent portion thereof can be prevented. Incidentally, the same applies to thehigh hardness portion 35 formed at thesecond bore bead 34 as well. - Also, as shown in
FIG. 4 , in theaforementioned gasket 20, it is preferable that thehigh hardness portions 35 andlow hardness portions 37 having the hardness of the stainless steel plate are disposed alternately in the circumferential direction of thefirst bore bead 30 along thefirst bore bead 30, and that thelow hardness portions 37 are disposed close to the insertion holes 26 more than thehigh hardness portions 35. Incidentally, thesecond bore bead 34 which is not shown in the drawing is structured in the same manner. - When the
cylinder head 12 and thecylinder block 13 are fastened by thebolts 11, a fastening stress is concentrated near theinsertion hole 26 of thegasket 20. In thebore bead portion 27, a fastening stress thereof is concentrated at a portion between tangents L2 of theinsertion hole 26 which are parallel to a bolt axis line L1 connecting a center O of thebore opening portion 24 and a center P of theinsertion hole 26. Therefore, in thefirst bore bead 30 and thesecond bore bead 34, there are alternately located a portion wherein a fastening stress is concentrated when fastened so as to become a high surface pressure and a high seal performance, and a portion which becomes a low surface pressure and a low seal performance, in the circumferential direction. - Therefore, the
low hardness portion 37 is formed at the portion which becomes the high surface pressure and the high seal performance, and thehigh hardness portion 35 is formed at the portion which becomes the low surface pressure and the low seal performance so as to provide the rise and fall of rigidity in the circumferential direction of thebore bead portion 27. Thereby, the seal performance in the circumferential direction of thebore bead portion 27 is equalized so as to improve the seal performance. - Also, as shown in
FIG. 5 , in theaforementioned gasket 20, it is preferable that thehigh hardness portion 35 having the hardness higher than that of the stainless steel plate is formed in at least one portion of the water-oil-hole bead portion 28. - The
high hardness portion 35 is formed at a portion where the fastening force of thebolt 11 of the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 is difficult to transfer. The portion where the fastening force of thebolt 11 of the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 is difficult to transfer is a portion disposed remotely from theinsertion hole 26, or a portion having thebore opening portion 24 or the water-oil-hole opening portion 25 with respect to theinsertion hole 26. - Also, it is preferable that the hardness of the
high hardness portion 35 formed in the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 has a Vickers hardness value of 300HV or above and 450HV or less. Especially, in the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 positioned outside theinsertion hole 26 in the plain view, the fastening force of thebolt 11 is difficult to transfer, so that it is preferable that the hardness thereof is set to be harder than that of thehigh hardness portion 35 formed in thebore bead portion 27. - Thus, the
high hardness portion 35 is formed in the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 where the fastening force of thebolt 11 is difficult to transfer so as to improve the rigidity of the water-oil-hole bead portion 28, wherein an overhang increases, or an opening increases at an operation time of theengine 10 so that the seal performance cannot be obtained, and obtain the seal performance. - Next, the method for manufacturing the
gasket 20 will be explained. First, themetal plate 21 to themetal plate 23, and the ring-shapedmember 33 are formed. Next, thebore opening portion 24, the water-oil-hole opening portion 25, and theinsertion hole 26 are formed in themetal plate 21 to themetal plate 23. Next, thebore bead portion 27, the water-oil-hole bead portion 28, and the insertion-hole bead portion 29 are formed in themetal plate 21, and thesecond bore bead 34 is formed in the ring-shapedmember 33. - Next, laser is irradiated from a protruding
face 21 a side of thefirst bore bead 30 of themetal plate 21 toward thefirst bore bead 30, and from a protrudingface 33a side of thesecond bore bead 34 of the ring-shapedmember 33 toward thesecond bore bead 34, and irradiation portions are cooled by a cooling device which is not shown in the drawings. Thehigh hardness portion 35 is formed by hardening processing by the laser. Also, the seal bead of the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 is irradiated with a laser as well in the same manner, and cooled to form thehigh hardness portion 35. Incidentally, the hardness of thehigh hardness portion 35 can be adjusted by changing any of a laser irradiation time, a hardening depth from theface 21 a on a protruding side, and a cooling time by the cooling device. - Next, the folded
portion 32 is folded so as to dispose the ring-shapedmember 33 inside the foldedportion 32, and themetal plate 21 to themetal plate 23, and the ring-shaped member are laminated so as to complete the manufacturing of thegasket 20. - According to the method for manufacturing the gasket, the
high hardness portion 35 can be easily formed in a short time only at a necessary portion by the laser hardening processing. Also, the laser irradiation time or the hardening depth is changed so as to become advantageous for a case of changing the hardness of thehigh hardness portion 35. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , in thehigh hardness portion 35, at least one of the laser irradiation time, the hardening depth from theface 21 a on the protruding side, and the cooling time by the cooling device is changed, so that the hardness thereof is gradually reduced toward a boundary between thehigh hardness portion 35 and portions other than thehigh hardness portion 35. Here, a hardening depth d1 gradually becomes shallow toward a width direction of thefirst bore bead 30, and the hardness of thehigh hardness portion 35 is smoothly reduced toward the width direction of thefirst bore bead 30. Thereby, an occurrence of a crack at a boundary portion of thehigh hardness portion 35 can be prevented so as to prevent a breakage. Incidentally, it is preferable that even in a vertical cross section of thefirst bore bead 30, the hardness is gradually reduced toward the boundary between thehigh hardness portion 35 and the portions other than thehigh hardness portion 35 in the same manner. - According to the
gasket 20 shown inFIG. 1 toFIG. 6 , thicknesses of thecylinder head 12 and thecylinder block 13 are reduced, so that even if the fastening force by thebolt 11 is reduced, the insufficient fastening force can be prevented, and a sufficient sealing characteristic can be obtained so as to become advantageous for the weight reduction and low rigidity of theengine 10. Thereby, fuel consumption of theengine 10 can be improved. - Incidentally, in the aforementioned embodiments, the
gasket 20 clamped between thecylinder head 12 and thecylinder block 13 has been shown as an example; however, the present invention is not limited to the above. - For example, as shown in
FIG. 7 , without laminating the plurality ofmetal plate 21 tometal plate 23, and ring-shapedmember 33, thegasket 20 may be formed only by one sheet ofmetal plate 21. - Also, as shown in
FIG. 8(a) , the present invention can be applied to an intake-and-exhaust-systemmanifold gasket 40 as well. Themanifold gasket 40 is formed by onemetal plate 41 of a martensitic stainless steel plate. In themetal plate 41, there are formed amanifold opening portion 42 disposed corresponding to a manifold, and insertion holes 43 corresponding to fastening bolt holes. Also, there are respectively formedmanifold bead portions 44 disposed at peripheral edge portions of themanifold opening portions 42, and insertion-hole bead portions 45 disposed at peripheral edge portions of the insertion holes 43. - As shown in
FIG. 8(b) , in themanifold bead portion 44, as the seal bead, there is formed amanifold bead 46 protruding upward from a flat surface of themetal plate 41, and annularly surrounding themanifold opening portion 42. - In such a
manifold gasket 40, thehigh hardness portion 35 having the hardness higher than that of themetal plate 41 is formed in at least one portion of themanifold bead 46. - According to the
manifold gasket 40, as with the previously describedgasket 20, even if the fastening force is reduced, the insufficient fastening force can be prevented, and the sufficient sealing characteristic can be obtained. - Also, in the aforementioned embodiments, an example wherein the
high hardness portion 35 is formed in the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 formed at a corner of thegasket 20 has been explained; however, the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 may be formed around thebore opening portion 24. - Also, the
high hardness portion 35 can be formed over the entire periphery of thebore bead portion 27 or the water-oil-hole bead portion 28 as well. - The disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-230619, filed on Nov. 13, 2014, is incorporated in the application.
- While the invention has been explained with reference to the specific embodiments of the invention, the explanation is illustrative and the invention is limited only by the appended claims.
