Patent number: 11149857Abstract: A seal ring for a seal assembly includes a body and a seal flange. The body is generally cylindrical, extending along a longitudinal axis between a load end and a seal end. The seal flange is disposed adjacent the seal end of the body, projecting radially in a circumscribing manner from the body. The seal flange includes a sealing face having a sealing band for sealing contact with a mating seal ring. A layer of coating composition formulated to help increase the corrosion resistance of the seal ring is applied to at least the body. A mask is applied to the seal ring to cover at least a portion of the seal ring having the layer of coating composition applied thereto such that the sealing band remains exposed. The sealing band is polished by an isotropic finishing process. The mask is removed after the sealing band is isotropically polished.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Bao Feng, Connor J. Haas, Joseph J. Every, Daniel P. Vertenten, John M. Spangler
