Metallic Seal Development for Advanced Docking/Berthing SystemFeasibility of metal-to-metal androgenous seals has been demonstrated. Techniques to minimize surface irregularities must be examined. Two concepts investigated: 1) Flexible metal interface with elastomeric preloader; 2) Flexibility will accommodate any surface irregularities from the mating surface. Rigid metal interface with elastomeric preloader. Rigidity of the metal surface will prevent irregularities (waves) from occurring.
