LASER CLADDING MECHANICAL FACE SEALS

摘要

A method of producing a mechanical face seal, the method including a step of obtaining a cast or wrought substrate part (400) having an inner diameter, outer diameter, and a planar surface (440). The method may include an exposing step (330) to expose the planar surface (440) to a laser (1000). The method may further include a supply step to supply a coating material (1150) to a location at or near the laser (1000) on the planar surface (440) in order for the coating material (1150) to form a metallurgical bond with the substrate part (400).
