THRUST RING AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING OR REFURBISHING A THRUST RING

摘要

A thrust ring (50) is provided that includes: an annularly shaped body (36) defining an interior hole (35) having a diameter; an annularly shaped insert (40) defining an exterior diameter sized similarly to the interior hole (35) diameter; a top surface (32) located on the body (36), the top surface (32) located adjacent to the interior hole (35); and an insert surface (48) defined by the insert (40), the insert surface (48) being annularly shaped; and an interior chamfered surface (51) on the insert (40) intersecting the insert surface (48). A method of making a thrust ring (50) is provided. The method includes: forming an insert pocket (52), the insert pocket (52) having an interior diameter in an annular body (36); forming an annular insert (40) to have an outer diameter slightly larger than the interior diameter of the insert pocket (52); cooling the insert (40); and pressing the insert (40) into the insert pocket (52).
