Properties of Carbon Mechanical Seal

Carbon graphite may be the best sealing surface to use in most water and chemical applications. Its corrosion resistance and natural lubrication provide the two functions we need in high-quality sealing surface materials. Sometimes there are questions about how to insert carbon into the mechanical seal. Should it be captured in some type of metal bracket, or would it be better to use "whole" or whole version?

Although monolithic surfaces have become popular in recent years, the use of carbon/metal fixed composite materials has some real advantages over the use of solid carbon/graphite surfaces：

You can use smaller cross-section carbon, which tends to be uniform when impregnated, thus eliminating excess cavitation and making it a better thermal conductor.

Carbon is stronger in compression than in tension. The metal bracket keeps the carbon surface compressed. The metal bracket is a good "radiator", which can take the extra heat away from the sealing surface.

Dynamic O-rings and other elastomer shapes slide move more easily on metal brackets than on carbon. When the shaft does not rotate, the elastomer tends to creep into the pores of carbon, resulting in a higher "separation friction" at start-up, which may be converted into lapped seal face openings.
