Sealing components and methods of manufacture

A sealing ring configured to form a seal between a first component and a second component, comprising:

• a body comprising a continuous loop and configured to be positioned within a corresponding groove of the first component and to contact the second component to form the seal, wherein the body comprises:
• a radially-inner side;
• a radially-outer side;
• and
• a cross-section comprising a generally U-shape and a variable thickness, wherein the cross-section extends in a circumferential direction and is taken along a plane extending between the radially-inner side and the radially-outer side;
• wherein the body comprises a first wall and a second wall that form respective arms of the U-shape, the body comprises a turning wall that joins respective ends of the first wall and the second wall to form the U-shape, the first wall and the second wall are separated along an axis by an intermediate gap that extends in the circumferential direction, and an intermediate wall extends between the first wall and the second wall across the intermediate gap.

A sealing component, comprising:

• a first annular component of a mineral extraction system;
• a second annular component of the mineral extraction system positioned adjacent to the first annular component, wherein the second annular component comprises an annular groove extending circumferentially about the second annular component;
• and
• a sealing ring positioned within the annular groove to form a seal between the first annular component and the second annular component, wherein the sealing ring comprises a cross-section comprising a variable thickness, extending in a circumferential direction, and having a first wall and a second wall joined together by a turning wall at a first side of the sealing ring and separated from one another along an axis by an intermediate space that is open to a second side of the sealing ring, wherein the cross-section is asymmetrical about a center line that extends in a direction orthogonal to the axis.
