DRY AND WET LOW FRICTION SILICON CARBIDE SEAL

摘要

A porous sintered silicon carbide body that includes a ceramic and a solid lubricant and methods of making thereof are described. The porous silicon carbide body can be a seal. The porous sintered silicon carbide body defines pores that can have an average pore size in a range of between about 20 μm and about 40 μm, and a porosity in a range of between about 1% and about 6% by volume.
