It all depends on configuration.

In certain cases it is steel all.

However in our seals it is bronze with graphite impregnation (for lubrication) mating with another face of hardened/ chromeplated/ deposited steel.

Off the cuff it is difficult to predict However have a look at the seal and heck which category it falls into Brass+steel or steel+steel.

  1. Turn off Caps Lock.
  2. Telephone the blower manufacturer's technical helpline for advice.
