Abstract: Short fibers in a solder or a welding material often do not have the desired strength. The invention uses fiber mats which have been introduced onto a surface or into a recess of a metallic component.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for determining the position of a channel which has been electrochemically machined in a workpiece by an electrolyte and/or the wall thickness which is present between the electrochemically machined channel and the surface of the component, in which magnetic particles are added to the electrolyte used during the machining, the magnetic fields associated with the magnetic particles are detected, and the position of the electrochemically machined channel and/or the wall thickness which is present between the electrochemically machined channel and the surface of the component is determined on the basis of the detected magnetic fields.

Abstract: Inner coatings according to the prior art often do not produce a uniform coating. The method according to the invention for the coating of a component with a cavity is characterized in that a coating material is mixed with a carrier material and introduced into the cavity, the carrier material decomposing at the evaporating temperature of the coating material, or has already decomposed, and the coating material being deposited from the gas phase on the component.
