TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a metal gasket, which is particularly suitable for manufacturing a cylinder head metal gasket of an internal combustion engine. BACKGROUND ART
[0002] As a metal gasket, there has been known, for example, a cylinder head metal gasket including at least one base plate, as a single base plate or a plurality of stacked base plates. Specifically, the base plate is formed by providing a rubber coating layer on a surface of a stainless steel plate as a metal plate. Moreover, the base plate has cylinder holes as fluid passage holes formed so as to correspond to respective cylinder bores in a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine, and circular beads which are formed around the respective cylinder holes and each of which has a sectional shape like that of an angle bar.
[0003] The cylinder head metal gasket is inserted between deck planes of the cylinder block and the cylinder head of the internal combu...
