ATHENA Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) Gasket
Material
ATHENA MLS gaskets feature a combination of 3 to 5 layers made from different types of raw materials.
The combination of outer and inner layers is designed to offer superior standard compression performance, and the type of steel used can vary depending on engine requirements.
Athena MLS gaskets provide a uniform torque load across the entire sealing surface to compensate for any cylinder deformation.
The Athena MLS gasket is the ideal solution for both aluminum cylinder heads with cast iron blocks and aluminum cylinder heads with aluminum blocks.
Manufacturing process
The newly designed Athena MLS cylinder head gaskets are manufactured from high-quality, high-hardness 301 stainless steel.
Each layer is individually formed using state-of-the-art laser cutting and embossed with an optimized forming process.
Two layers of the head gasket undergo a stress relief process to significantly reduce stress induced by embossing.
After the stress relief process, a proprietary two-component polymer coating is applied, ensuring uniform coverage of the outer layers, with no interruptions in the coating. This process ensures the micro-sealing of engine coolant and oil fluids.
