Abstract
A biased, wear resistant seal assembly for sealing gas flow paths in a turbine system includes a planar shim having transverse legs at each end, a flattened leaf spring to urge the shim into sealing contact with the sealing surfaces of the turbine parts, and a shim protection material to avoid wear to the shim on the contact side. The shim protection material can include one or more metal fiber cloth layers secured to the shim, for example, by seam welding to a pair of rails or to the legs of the shim.
