Abstract
Leveling of axial forces on the shaft of centrifugal pumps depends on characteristics of end slotted rings of the unloading device that determine the stability of a slotted gap between them. This paper presents the methods to improve wear resistance of surfaces mating between a slotted rings by their surfacing with coatings from a composite alloy reinforced by tungsten (relit) carbides. The advantages and disadvantages of electric arc, plasma-powder and furnace surfacing of slotted rings are shown, and a significant improvement in the process at a replacement of chipped tungsten carbide by spherical one is noted. 6 Ref., 4 Figures.
Keywords: slotted rings, tungsten carbides (relit), wear resistance, arc surfacing, plasma-powder and furnace surfacing
