het bladderen van de koolstoflaag
Explanation:
Blistering is a critical concern with carbon-graphite seal materials. However, the explanation for why blistering occasionally occurs is not clear. One of the most popular explanations is that a certain amount of fluid becomes absorbed in the carbon substrate and expands due to frictional heat, thus creating a subsurface pressure and eventual crater in the seal face.
