A turbine section of a gas turbine engine includes a housing, a rotor assembly, and a seal assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotor disk, a rotor platform coupled to the rotor disk, and a rotor blade extending from the rotor platform into the mainstream hot gas flow path. The stator assembly includes a stator platform with a stator vane that extends from the stator platform into the mainstream hot gas flow path. The seal assembly includes a first flow discourager extending in a first direction from the rotor platform, a second flow discourager extending in a second direction from the stator platform, the first flow discourager axially overlapping the second flow discourager such that the second flow discourager is interior to the first flow discourager in a radial direction, a hard coating applied to the first flow discourager, and an abradable coating applied to the second flow discourager.
