Corrosion of mechanical seal
A
Corrosion metal ring
a. The
surface uniform corrosion.If contact surface of the metal ring corrosive medium,
and the metal itself is not corrosion resistance, can produce a surface
corrosion, the phenomenon of leakage, early wear and tear, damage, etc.Uniform
corrosion on metal surface has membrane and membrane two forms, no film of
metal corrosion is very dangerous, corrosion process to a certain speed, this
mainly due to material errors.Film-forming corrosion, the characteristics of
the passivation film usually has a protective effect, but the metal seal ring
used in materials, such as stainless steel, cobalt, chromium alloy, such as the
surface passivation membrane damage in the end surface friction, under the
condition of oxygen new membrane is difficult to generate, exacerbated galvanic
corrosion.
b.
Stress corrosion cracking.Metal under the effect of corrosion and the tensile
stress at the same time, the first cracks in the weak area, thus to further
development, produce rupture, known as stress corrosion cracking, selects the
built-up welding hard alloy and cast iron sealing ring, tungsten carbide, titanium
carbide, prone to stress corrosion cracking.Sealing ring radial cracks are
generally divergent, can be one or more.These cracks communication throughout
the seal face, accelerated the end face of wear, increase the leakage.
B
Non-metallic corrosion ring
a. The
graphite ring corrosion.Not impregnated with resin permeability graphite ring,
its corrosion for three reasons:
1)
When the end face overheating, the temperature greater than 180 oc, impregnated
resin to fold from graphite ring, ring wear resistance decreased;
2)
Improper choice impregnation of resin, chemical changes in the media, also
decrease abrasion resistance;
3)
Resin impregnation of depth, after grinding to dipping layer, wear
resistance.So sealed cooling system, choose the impregnating resin corrosion
resistant, adopts high pressure impregnation, increase the immersion depth is
very necessary.
b. The
oxidation of graphite ring.In oxidizing medium, face in dry friction or
cooling, it produces 350 ~ 400 ? temperature can make the graphite rings react
with oxygen, CO gas, can make the end face rough and even rupture.Non-metallic
ring in the chemical medium and stress at the same time, under the action of
will burst.
c.
PTFE corrosion of seal ring.F4 filler such as glass fiber, graphite powder,
metal powder to improve its temperature resistance, wear resistance.Fill the F4
ring corrosion is mainly refers to fill the selective corrosion, dissolution,
or metamorphic damage.In hydrofluoric acid, for example, the glass fiber
molecular hot corrosion of mechanical seal, so fill what should depending on the specific
situation.
