Abstract: A seal ring comprising a boron containing cast iron composition is disclosed. The cast iron composition particularly comprises each of boron, chromium and silicon in the following amounts: boron up to 1 wt. %; chromium up to 4 wt. %; and silicon up to 2 wt. %. The seal ring may be produced by melting a cast iron composition further comprising the foregoing alloying elements; pouring the melted alloy into a mold; cooling the melted alloy to form a cast iron seal ring; and separating the cast iron seal ring from the mold. The seal ring is typically used in the undercarriage of earth-working machines, such as in the drive train or power train of such machines.

Abstract: A seal ring comprising a chromium and boron containing cast iron alloy composition is disclosed. The cast iron alloy composition comprises each of boron, chromium and silicon in the following amounts: boron up to 1.5 wt. %; chromium from 8 to 14 wt. %; and silicon up to 3.0 wt. %. The seal ring may be produced by melting a cast iron composition further comprising the foregoing alloying elements; pouring the melted alloy into a mold; cooling the melted alloy to form a cast iron seal ring; and separating the cast iron seal ring from the mold. The seal ring is typically used in the undercarriage of earth-working machines, such as in the drive train or power train of such machines.
