IMPROVEMENT OF OPERATIONAL BEHAVIOR OF SEALS THROUGH FLAME SPRAYED COATINGS

To guarantee optimum sealing over long periods of time a number of factors have to be considered and friction parts have to be adapted to each other. Plasma and explosion coated components meet these requirements better than components coated by other techniques, particularly since the reproducibility of coat application, i. e. in case of repairs the removal of the old coat and application of the new one represents an economically important factor.
