Blanks provide emergency seals
Metallised Carbon Corporation's machineable blanks are made from fine-grained, high strength, moulded carbon graphite that is fully impregnated with chemically resistant, thermal setting resin.
Metallised Carbon Corporation offers machineable, resin-impregnated, carbon-graphite blanks for companies that need to machine mechanical seal primary rings, radial bearings, thrust bearing, case wear rings, or pump vanes on an emergency basis The machineable blanks are made from fine-grained, high strength, moulded carbon graphite that is fully impregnated with chemically resistant, thermal setting resin

Bearing materials resist wear
Bearings manufactured from Metcar materials are self-lubricating, nongalling, dimensionally stable and have high compressive strength.
High-temperature bearings are lubricated for life
Bearings and thrust washers offer greatly increased oxidation resistance without sacrificing their self-lubricating properties, resulting in longer life.
The material has excellent lubricating qualities when running in low viscosity liquids in the temperature range between -240 and over +260C.
The blanks are readily machineable with conventional tungsten carbide or diamond tools.
Mechanical seal rings, bearings and vanes machined from these blanks are impervious to high-pressure liquids.
The material is dimensionally stable so that mechanical seal ring faces can be polished to one Helium light band flatness and the flatness is retained indefinitely.
The material is chemically resistant to almost all liquids except extremely strong, oxidising acids and alkalis.
Forty-nine standard cylinder sizes are available to cover mechanical seal ring and bearing sizes up to 254-381/406mm outside diameter.
Two different Metcar, machinable, blank grades are kept is stock to cover a wide range of applications.
Those grades include Metcar Grade M-400, for general duty applications (CS series blanks) and Metcar Grade M-106, for high-load, high-speed applications (HS series blanks).
