Abstract

A gas turbine engine seal system includes a rotating member having an abrasive tip disposed in rub relationship to a stationary, abradable seal surface. The abrasive tip comprises a zirconium oxide abrasive coat having a columnar structure that is harder than the abradable seal surface such that the abrasive tip can cut the abradable seal surface.
