<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system where the problem on thermal expansion in a cylinder bore of a combustion engine during a thermal coating procedure and the problem on contamination by metallic vapor are solved, and simultaneously, advanced automation is simply and economically possible. <P>SOLUTION: The invention relates to a masking system for masking a cylinder bore 2 of a combustion engine 3 during a thermal coating procedure including a masking body 4 which can be placed during the thermal coating of a first cylinder 5 of the combustion engine 3 in the cylinder bore 2 of a second cylinder 7 to cover a cylinder wall 6 of the second cylinder 7. In this arrangement the masking body 4 is designed in such a way that a flow gap 10 of predeterminable breadth can be set between the masking body 4 and the cylinder wall 6 of the second cylinder 7 for the production of a flow 8 of a fluid. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
