2. Exhaust Manifold Gasket Function and Materials Overview

Exhaust manifold gaskets seal the connection between the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold, preventing high-temperature exhaust gases from escaping. In turbocharged diesel engines, maintaining this seal is critical to engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emission control.

To handle extreme temperatures and pressure fluctuations, exhaust manifold gaskets are made from heat- and pressure-resistant materials, including:

• Graphite with steel for thermal flexibility and sealing stability
• Multi-layer steel (MLS) for durability in high-boost applications
• MLS with MoS₂ coating to improve heat resistance
• Sandwich-type for enhanced sealing under thermal cycling
