Abstract: Wear-resistant assemblies that may be installed for use in spray nozzle assemblies, and spray nozzle assembles equipped with such a component. Such an assembly includes a wear-resistant member having an axial surface and a base portion, and further includes a ring member having an inner perimeter that surrounds and contacts the outer perimeter of the base portion of the wear-resistant member. The ring member is formed of a material that is different from the material that defines the axial surface of the wear-resistant member, and less resistant to abrasive wear than the material of the axial surface.
