| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for the protection of openings (14, 16) in a component (10), produced from an electrically-conducting material, in particular, from metal or a metal alloy, during a machining process against the ingress of material, whereby the openings (14, 16) are sealed with a filler material (20, 22) before the machining process, which is removed again after the machining process. The machining processes particularly concern coating processes and welding processes. Said method is characterised in that an electrically-conducting filler material (20, 22) is applied, the electrical conductivity of which matches the electrical conductivity of the base material. |
