Abstract: A seat rail assembly for fastening a seat assembly in a vehicle and a method for making such a seat rail assembly are described. The seat rail assembly includes a seat rail configured to fasten the seat assembly, the seat rail including a metal material. A fastening profile element of the seat rail assembly is configured to receive the seat rail, the fastening profile element being formed of a plastic material. The fastening profile element forms a receiving region, which is configured to receive the seat rail, and the seat rail includes a seat rail crown which is arranged in the receiving region of the fastening profile element such that a wall portion of the fastening profile element at least partly extends around the seat rail crown. The seat rail assembly may be used in an aircraft.

Abstract: A rail for an aircraft floor includes an upper plate for supporting a set of floor panels covering the plate, and a lower stiffening structure. The rail is formed by a beam and by an anticorrosion protection. The beam is at least formed by a body made of a first material and defining the lower stiffening structure and an upper platform. The anticorrosion protection fully covers an upper face of the upper platform and forms therewith the upper plate of the rail, thus layered. The anticorrosion protection is at least formed by a protective sheet made of a second material that is more corrosion resistant than the first material and is selected from a metal and a fiber-reinforced plastic composite material. Such a rail exhibits good corrosion resistance at a moderate cost.

Abstract: The invention relates to a removable anodizing agent, in particular for local anodic oxidation of metal surfaces, and its use, and a method for anodic oxidation by means of an anodizing agent according to the invention.

Abstract: A component made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic is described, consisting of or comprising a matrix material (M) and carbon fibers embedded into the matrix material (M), wherein the component has at least one surface portion (A), having one or a plurality of exposed regions of the carbon fibers, characterized in that the exposed regions(s) of the carbon fibers is or are selectively coated with a layer (S). A process for producing such a component and also an assembly comprising such a component and one or a plurality of further components comprising or consisting of a material such as steel, iron, copper, magnesium or aluminum or alloys thereof are also described.

Abstract: A process of repairing defects on a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) component wherein defects on a surface of a CFRP component are selectively repaired by electrodeposition coating. With this process a reduction of coating material and work force as well as weight of the repaired CFRP component can be achieved.

Abstract: In a method for drying coating films on coated components, microwaves are generated by at least one magnetron (3A) in at least one microwave generator module (3) and introduced into a drying chamber (2A) through one or more waveguides (4). Air or another gas is blown from a blower (5) into the drying chamber (2A). An additive agent comprising a dipolar or polarizable molecular composition is mixed into the gas to form a gas mixture within the drying chamber (2A). The coated components (9) are placed into the drying chamber (2A) in a batch or continuous flow-through process. The microwave energy vibrationally excites and heats the additive agent in the gas mixture, which in turn heats the coating film (9') on the components (9). Alternatively, the additive agent may be mixed or applied directly in the coating film substance, so as to achieve direct heating of the coating film, or so as to evaporate from the coating film into the gas to form the gas mixture.
