Abstract:
A spherical annular seal member 38 is used in an exhaust pipe joint and includes a spherical annular base member 36 defined by a cylindrical inner surface 32, a partially convex spherical surface 33, large- and small-diameter side annular end faces 34 and 35 of the partially convex spherical surface 33, and an outer layer 37 formed integrally on the partially convex spherical surface 33 of the spherical annular base member 36. The spherical annular base member 36 includes a reinforcing member made from a metal wire net 5 and a heat-resistant material containing expanded graphite filling meshes of the metal wire net 5 of this reinforcing member and compressed in such a manner as to be formed integrally with this reinforcing member in mixed form. In the outer layer 37, the reinforcing member, the heat-resistant material, and the solid lubricant are integrated in mixed form.
Abstract:
A cylindrical gasket includes a reinforcing member 70, a heat-resistant material 71, and pores which are dispersedly distributed in the reinforcing member 70 and the heat-resistant material 71, the reinforcing member 70 and the heat-resistant material 71 are intertwined with each other so as to be provided with structural integrity, and with respect to a total volume of the cylindrical gasket, the reinforcing member 70 occupies a volume of 32 to 60%, the heat-resistant material 71 occupies a volume of 5 to 58%, and the pores occupy a volume of 10 to 35%.
Abstract:
A cylindrical gasket 27 includes a reinforcing member 70 made from a compressed belt-shaped metal wire net 5, a heat-resistant material 71 filled in meshes of the belt-shaped metal wire net 5 of the reinforcing member 70, and pores which are dispersedly distributed in the reinforcing member 70 and the heat-resistant material 71. An inner peripheral surface 23, an outer peripheral surface 24, and annular end faces 25 and 26 of the cylindrical gasket 27 are each formed by a smooth surface in which the heat-resistant material 71 and the reinforcing member 70 are present in mixed form. In the cylindrical gasket 27, the volume contents of the reinforcing member 70, the heat-resistant material 71, and the pores are 32 to 60%, 5 to 58%, and 10 to 35%, respectively.
