Abstract
A process for producing a groove-like recess which is part of a strip seal between two components which enclose a gap, uses a material-removing process technology to create the groove-like recess in the two components in such a manner that the groove-like recess in each of the two components, after orientation with respect to one another, lie substantially opposite one another in an end position in which they enclose the gap between them, and that a strip element can be introduced into the groove-like recesses in such a manner that the strip element at least partially projects into both groove-like recesses and, under the action of a force, forms a substantially gastight joint with the groove-like recesses in the two components. Furthermore, a groove-like recess of this type is part of a strip seal.
