Abstract

See full text

An object is to provide a metal gasket that can form a wide contact width for a counterpart sealing face and that can achieve excellent sealing properties even when a blow hole is generated in the counterpart sealing face, and the object is achieved by a metal gasket having a bead portion to be in contact with a counterpart sealing face to form a sealing portion, formed on a gasket main body. The bead portion includes an arc portion that is convex toward the counterpart sealing face and hem-rising portions that each obliquely rise from the gasket main body toward the arc portion, on both hems of the arc portion. A connection portion between the arc portion and the hem-rising portion is formed to be convex toward a convex side of the bead portion. Plastic distortion for an overall width of the arc portion is lower than that of the connection portion. A contact pressure distribution in the arc portion in a compression state has a shape that is flat and wide in a width direction of the arc portion.
