Brush seals enhance additive manufacturing processing

As additive manufacturing technology continues to grow in both popularity and practical uses, here at Cross we want to continue pushing the boundaries of brush seal applications by designing our brush seal technology for enhanced processing in additive manufacturing.

Brush seals are traditionally used in gas and steam turbines in the Aerospace and Power Generation industries, but they can also be used in additive manufacturing for effective powder distribution in place of typical powder scrapers such as rollers, blades and lips.

The benefits and applications of additive manufacturing

As brush seals contain thousands of fine wires, they can provide excellent powder distribution and chamber sealing for additive manufacturing and offer a range of other benefits:

  • Designed to suit application with endless mounting possibilities
  • Smallest possible radial height
  • A choice of metallic materials
  • High temperature resistance 
  • Long service life
