Gas turbines for power generation and industrial applications employ labyrinth seals to improve gas path efficiency. These seals generally have a very complex geometry and are both difficult and costly to produce. Over time, the teeth can become damaged as a result of unintentional rubs against honeycomb or other abradable surfaces, thereby reducing their effectiveness.

Customers can be assured that Metco Joining & Cladding Laser Cladding Service Centers have decades of deep technical knowledge. We use up-to-date equipment and have highly experienced personnel every step of the way.
