Sealing rings for a labyrinth seal

摘要

In sealing rings for a labyrinth seal that are arranged on a rotationally symmetrical component and in frictional contact with a stationary run-in layer, a part of the sealing ring (8) that contacts the run-in layer is in the form of a wear protection ring segment (15) that is built up on a truncated sealing ring (14) and which includes a metal matrix (16) with wear protection particles (13) embedded therein. The manufacture of the wear protection ring segment is carried out by laser build-up welding, wherein the proportion of wear protection particles contained in the metal powder flow supplied to the laser beam can be controlled and increased in an edge or tip region of the sealing ring.

1. A labyrinth seal, comprising:
a stationary run-in layer having an abradable surface; a sealing ring arranged on a rotationally symmetrical component for frictional contact with the stationary run-in layer to achieve a minimal gap dimension, the sealing ring comprising:
a truncated portion formed on the rotationally symmetrical component;a wear protection ring segment for frictional contact with the run-in layer, the wear protection ring segment layered over the truncated portion and including a fused metal matrix mixture comprising metal powder and wear protection particles mixed within the metal powder, the wear protection particles having a maximum dimension less than a thickness of the wear protection ring segment;the wear protection ring segment including a first central portion positioned radially away from a connecting flange of the rotationally symmetrical component; a first side portion positioned axially on a first side of the central portion and extending from the central portion to a first position radially toward the connecting flange and a second side portion positioned axially on a second side of the central portion and extending from the central portion to a second position radially toward the connecting flange;the wear protection ring segment including a plurality of contiguous side-by-side layers of the metal matrix; the plurality of side-by-side layers extending from the first position, through the central portion, to the second position;wherein the metal matrix mixture includes a first metal matrix mixture and a second metal matrix mixture, the first metal matrix mixture having a first proportion of wear protection particles to metal powder, the second metal matrix mixture having a second proportion of wear protection particles to metal powder, the plurality of layers includes a first layer positioned in a direction toward a free tip of the wear protection ring segment consisting of the first metal matrix mixture and a second layer positioned in a direction toward the rotationally symmetrical component consisting of the second metal matrix mixture, with the first proportion of wear protection particles to metal powder of the first layer being greater than the second proportion of wear protection particles to metal powder of the second layer.
