Tragstellen

English translation: see below

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: Tragstellen
"Das Passen nach dem Lichtspaltverfahren erfolgt durch ein sich wiederholendes Ermitteln, Markieren und Abtragen von den auf den Passflächen entstehenden Tragstellen."
The Tragstellen are obviously spots where there is too much material so that exact fitting is prevented.
Any ideas?

Explanation:
If I understand your explanation correctly, areas or spots on the parts/surfaces to be fitted are identified and marked, and stock is removed, based on the absence of a light slit or gap. Could these then be called simply contact areas or spots?

Explanation:
another possibility, if the "Tragstellen" develop during the machining process would be to call them build-up.
