Types of tungsten carbide wear rings

There are various types of tungsten carbide wear rings, which are mainly classified according to their application fields, shapes, sizes and material compositions. The following are some common types of tungsten carbide wear rings:

Classification by application field:

Petroleum and chemical machinery carbide seal rings: These carbide seal rings usually have extremely high hardness and wear resistance, and can maintain stable sealing performance in harsh working environments. For example, seals used in equipment such as pumps, valves, and compressors.

Bearing rings: Tungsten carbide bearing rings are widely used in occasions that need to withstand high loads and high-speed rotation due to their high hardness and wear resistance, such as precision machinery, aerospace and other fields.

Classification by shape and size:

Flat ring: has flat inner and outer surfaces, used for simple sealing structures.

Terrace ring: annular structure with bosses or grooves, used in more complex sealing systems to improve sealing effect and stability.

Special ring: annular structure customized according to specific application requirements, with different shapes and sizes to meet the sealing requirements of different equipment.

Classification by material composition:

Different grades of tungsten carbide: such as YG6, YG8, YG20, YS2T, etc. These grades represent different metal contents and performance characteristics. For example, the YG series usually has higher hardness and wear resistance, while the YS series may have better heat and corrosion resistance.

Composite carbide wear rings: In addition to pure tungsten carbide, there are also some carbide wear rings made of composite materials of tungsten carbide and other metal or non-metal materials to further improve their comprehensive performance.

Special types:

Customized carbide wear rings: carbide wear rings designed and manufactured according to the specific needs of customers, including but not limited to non-standard sizes, special shapes, specific materials, etc.
