In order to understand the mechanisms, seal tests with different SiC types were conducted. Results show that electrical discharge causes the failure und electrical resistance of seal ring material must be considered as a key property. Selecting the correct seal material combination is essential to gain long life time.ensilicon carbideelectrical dischargeerosionmechanical sealgraphite coating531620666journal article
