Tungsten carbide is another common material used in mechanical seals, offering its own set of advantages:
1. **Hardness:** Tungsten carbide is extremely hard, providing excellent resistance to wear and abrasion.
2. **Strength:** It has high strength and toughness, making it suitable for challenging mechanical conditions.
3. **Chemical Inertness:** Tungsten carbide is resistant to many chemicals, enhancing its corrosion resistance.
4. **Temperature Stability:** It can withstand high temperatures, maintaining its properties under extreme heat.
5. **Versatility:** Tungsten carbide can be used in various seal applications, from pumps to compressors, due to its versatility.
6. **Coating Option:** Tungsten carbide coatings are often applied to other materials to enhance their wear resistance.
While both tungsten carbide and ceramic seal faces are popular choices, the selection depends on specific application requirements, such as operating conditions, fluid compatibility, and budget constraints.
