Understand the processing technology and quality control of metal sealing rings

As one of the commonly used sealing materials in the industrial field, metal sealing rings play an important role in mechanical equipment, automobiles, aerospace and other fields. Its processing technology and quality control directly affect the sealing performance and service life of the sealing ring. This article will delve into the processing technology of metal sealing rings and the importance of quality control.

1. Processing technology

a. Material selection

Commonly used materials for metal sealing rings include stainless steel, copper, aluminum, etc. Choosing the right material is key to ensuring sealing ring performance.

b. Cutting processing

Cutting processing is one of the common processing methods for metal sealing rings, including turning, milling, drilling and other processes. The raw materials are processed into sealing rings with specific sizes and shapes.

c. Forming processing

Forming processing is a processing method that uses a mold to stamp, stretch, etc. metal materials to form a sealing ring. Forming processing can improve production efficiency and processing accuracy.

2. Quality control

a. Dimensional accuracy

The dimensional accuracy of metal sealing rings directly affects its sealing performance. Strictly controlling the processing dimensions and ensuring the matching between the sealing ring and the sealing surface is the key to ensuring the sealing effect.

b. Surface quality

The surface quality of metal sealing rings has an important impact on their sealing performance and wear resistance. It is necessary to ensure that the surface finish is high, without scratches and burrs, to reduce frictional resistance and improve the working efficiency and life of the sealing ring.

c. Material uniformity

The material uniformity of metal sealing rings is directly related to its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. It is necessary to ensure that the material structure is uniform to avoid defects such as pores and inclusions.

3. Quality inspection

a. Dimensional inspection

The size of the metal sealing ring is detected through three-dimensional coordinate measuring machines, projectors and other equipment to ensure that the processing accuracy meets the requirements.

b. Surface inspection

Use microscopes, surface roughness meters and other equipment to detect the surface quality of metal sealing rings to ensure that the surface finish and flatness meet standards.

c. Material testing

The material structure and chemical composition of the metal sealing ring are tested through metallographic microscopes, chemical composition analyzers and other equipment to ensure that the material quality meets standard requirements.

To sum up, the processing technology and quality control of metal sealing rings are the key to ensuring their sealing performance and service life. By selecting appropriate processing techniques, strictly controlling the quality process, and conducting effective quality inspections, high-quality, high-performance metal sealing rings can be produced to meet the sealing needs of various industrial and mechanical equipment.
