A numerical study has been conducted to assess the viability of a new sealing mechanism for gas and steam turbines. This new static-to-rotating sealing mechanism is mounted on flexible legs which permit radial movement and is designed to take advantage of the hydro-dynamic pressure forces, which result from fluid leaking around the seal, to maintain an ideally small and constant clearance. Relatively simple seal geometries have been numerically tested to find an optimal shape. These results indicate that a substantial sealing improvement (between two and four times less leakage) relative to a labyrinth seal is possible. Although these results show that a brush seal is more effective than the present seal, the present seal is designed to operate in high-speed and high-temperature environments in which the brush seal would degrade.

Abstract ALX is a composition of nonferrous materials with a cobalt base containing chromium, tungsten and carbon. This alloy is commonly supplied in the cast-to-shape form, having an as-cast hardness of Rockwell C60-62 and requiring no further heat treatment. ALX is also supplied as cast tool bit material and is useful where conventional high-speed steels or carbides do not function effectively. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as casting, forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: Co-35. Producer or source: Allegheny Ludlum Corporation.

Abstract CYCLOPS M4 is a deep-hardening steel that was developed to utilize the excellent abrasion resistance that results from higher-than-normal carbon and vanadium contents in the molybdenum-tungsten family of high-speed steels. It is recommended for heavy-duty cutting operations and for sharp edges for fine cuts. Cyclops M4 should always be used at or near maximum hardness. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on high temperature performance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: TS-335. Producer or source: Cyclops Corporation.

Abstract CPM Rex 121 is a super high-speed steel with significantly higher wear resistance and red hardness than other high-speed steels. It is best suited for applications requiring high cutting speeds. It may provide an alternative to carbide where carbide cutting edges are too fragile. The annealed hardness is approximately 350-400 HB, and maximum hardness is approximately 72 HRC. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on high temperature performance and wear resistance as well as heat treating and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-591. Producer or source: Crucible.
