FACES
Seal faces in a mechanical seal are the primary sealing surfaces-usually a rotating face and a stationary face-that prevent fluid leakage by maintaining close contact. These faces are made from materials like carbon, silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, or ceramic, chosen for wear resistance, chemical compatibility, and operating conditions.
Carbon Graphite
Falcon Sealing Technology's carbon graphite seal faces are self-lubricating and provide excellent wear resistance, ensuring long life and reliable performance in mechanical seals. They are also chemically inert and have a low coefficient of friction, which minimizes heat generation.
Silicon carbide
Silicon carbide is an excellent material for mechanical seal faces due to its exceptional hardness, providing superior wear resistance. Its high thermal conductivity allows it to dissipate heat efficiently, preventing damage from friction. It also has great corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of chemical applications.
Tungsten carbide
Tungsten carbide is an excellent material for mechanical seal faces due to its exceptional hardness and high wear resistance. It provides superior performance in demanding applications involving abrasive media and high pressures, offering a long service life and reliable sealing. Additionally, it has a high modulus of elasticity and is resistant to corrosion.
Ceramic
Ceramic materials for mechanical seal faces are favored due to their exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance, which provides great wear life and stability in harsh environments. Their low thermal expansion also helps to maintain seal integrity under varying temperature conditions.
