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.
Claims20
An assembly comprising:
- a wear-resistant member comprising a base portion and an axial surface, the base portion having an outer perimeter and the axial surface being formed of a first material;
- and
- a ring member formed of a second material that is different from the first material of the axial surface of the wear-resistant member and is less resistant to abrasive wear than the first material, the ring member having an inner perimeter that surrounds and contacts the outer perimeter of the base portion of the wear-resistant member.
An end plate assembly installed in a spray nozzle assembly that comprises an orifice disc and a swirl chamber member between the end plate assembly and the orifice disc to define a swirl chamber therebetween, the end plate assembly comprising:
- a wear-resistant member comprising a base portion and an axial surface, the base portion having an outer perimeter, the axial surface being formed of a first material exposed within the swirl chamber;
- and
- a ring member formed of a second material that is different from the first material of the axial surface of the wear-resistant member and is less resistant to abrasive wear than the first material, the ring member having an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter that surrounds and contacts the outer perimeter of the base portion of the wear-resistant member.
