how to make a tight seal between two metal components?

Question by makk: how to make a tight seal between two metal components?
hi..i am doing a project on auto suction of raw materials from the bin to hopper…This project is on Thermo set injection molding machine.The raw material is so fine powder like particles…the problem i felt is when the suction is in process, these fine powders is leaking out between the small gap between the lid and the hopper…welding between these two will affect the preventive maintenance work….
so please help me to figure this out….

It sounds like you need to get a gasket. There are lots of kinds of gaskets, so you’re going to have to shop around. Size, pressure, temperature and materials are going to be some important factors to consider, among others.

Without more information about your machine, there isn’t much more I can help you with.
