Carbide Seals Should Be Selected For Anti-corrosion

Mar 16, 2023 Leave a message

There are many failures of mechanical seals. The common damage forms are divided into three types: corrosion damage, thermal damage and mechanical damage. In order to reduce the failure of mechanical seals, we should pay attention to the material selection of seals. For seals that often corrode, Carbide seals can be used.
If the surface of the metal seal is in contact with corrosive media, and the seal itself is not corrosion-resistant, surface corrosion will occur, and the phenomena are leakage, early wear, damage, and noise. Uniform corrosion is divided into two forms: film-forming and non-film. Metal corrosion without film is dangerous, and the corrosion process proceeds at a certain speed, which is mainly caused by improper material selection. If this situation also occurs in your company, it is recommended to replace it with a hard alloy mechanical seal. The choice of grade can be determined according to the actual situation and specific use.
Tungsten carbide seals are wear-resistant, durable and corrosion-resistant, and can adapt to working conditions in various environments. We can customize products according to drawings, and many product materials are independently developed. The situation improves the cemented carbide formula, optimizes the production process, helps customers solve various problems in production or use, such as the problem of corrosion resistance mentioned today, breaks through the bottleneck, and improves efficiency.
