Wear phenomena on WC-based face seal rings
Abstract
In order to study wear mechanisms on WC-based face seals, lubricated seal tests have been performed. The tested materials were WC–Co, WC–Ni and a WC–TiC binderless carbide. The tests lasted for 700 h and all seals were still fully functional at the end of the tests. The worn surfaces have been studied with a range of different techniques including focused ion beam and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). All tested seals showed a periodic …
