Abstract
A method of sealing non-threaded boreholes with a preferably spherical sealing member comprising pressing the sealing member into the borehole in an unhardened raw material hardenable by nitridation, wedging the lip of the borehole and hardening the material by nitridation at a temperature at which at least some of the initial stress generated by the pressing is retained.
Claims4
A method for gas- and fluid-tight sealing of non-threaded boreholes in a nitridation hardenable raw material comprising the steps of:
- press fitting a hardened sealing member into a borehole in an unhardened raw material hardenable by nitridation;
- and
- hardening said raw material by nitridation at a temperature in which the initial stress which is developed by the pressing is partially retained.
