Mechanical Seal Materials

11/10/2010 7:10 AM

We are facing problem of hard face failure which has material of Tungsten Carbide. It cracks during cavitation. We can not avoid cavitation during plant load fluctuations. Seal is a single spring seal handeling molten urea. The balance face is of Silicon Carbide. Can we use combination of SS-316 as hard face with Silicon carbide as soft face? What are favorable combinations of machanical seal materials?

Dear All,

In the mechanical, the rotaing parts of the seal is called Face and stationary parts is called Seat.It is good to use softer material for Face than seat material. So, u can prefer Carbon for Face and SiC for Seat material(SiC-C).
