Optimisation of the performance and structure of soluble ball seat metal sealing rings based on response surface by CHEN Zhen, RAN Qingjie, CHEN Nengpeng, WANG Qiaomu

“…The increase of groove parameters (groove width and depth) can enhance the contact pressure, and at the same time, increase the equivalent stress, which may lead to local strength deficiency.Through the sensitivity analysis, the sensitivity coefficients of the radius of the metal seal ring to the equivalent force and contact pressure were found to reach 0.67 and 0.82, which were the dominant variables affecting the sealing performance; the width and depth of the grooves regulated the stress distribution through the geometric compensation mechanism. …”
