Galling<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Galling happens when there is high friction between two surfaces, causing material to transfer from one surface to the other.

Seizure<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Seizure occurs when the surfaces are so tightly bound due to heat and friction that they can no longer move freely.<\/p><p class=\"p3\">This can cause the bushing to seize in place, leading to machine downtime and potential damage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49b294f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"49b294f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b31c62d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b31c62d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Causes of Galling and Seizure in WC Bushings<\/b><\/h2><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14634 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Galling-and-Seizure-in-WC-Bushings-How-to-Prevent-It-www.retopz.com-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Galling-and-Seizure-in-WC-Bushings-How-to-Prevent-It-www.retopz.com-2.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Galling-and-Seizure-in-WC-Bushings-How-to-Prevent-It-www.retopz.com-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Galling-and-Seizure-in-WC-Bushings-How-to-Prevent-It-www.retopz.com-2-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p><p class=\"p3\">There are several factors that contribute to galling and seizure in WC bushings. These include improper lubrication, high operating temperatures, and high pressure.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>1). Inadequate Lubrication<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Lubrication reduces friction and heat buildup. If the lubrication is insufficient or breaks down, the risk of galling and seizure increases. This is especially true in high-speed applications.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>2). High Operating Temperatures<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Excessive heat can cause the WC bushing material to soften and lose its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/fr\/hardness-in-the-tungsten-carbide-industry-a-comprehensive-definition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">duret\u00e9<\/a>, making it more susceptible to galling and seizure. Overheating also causes the lubricant to break down faster.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>3). High Pressure and Load<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">When excessive pressure or load is applied, the contact surfaces between the bushing and shaft become stressed, increasing the risk of galling and seizure.<\/p><p class=\"p3\">This is common in heavy-duty applications such as pumps and compressors.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>4). Material Incompatibility<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Using materials that do not complement each other can lead to surface damage. For example, pairing a tungsten carbide bushing with a soft, uncoated shaft can increase the likelihood of galling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6923599 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6923599\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9009528 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9009528\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"p1\"><b>Symptoms of Galling and Seizure in WC Bushings<\/b><\/h2><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14635 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Galling-and-Seizure-in-WC-Bushings-How-to-Prevent-It-www.retopz.com-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Galling-and-Seizure-in-WC-Bushings-How-to-Prevent-It-www.retopz.com-3.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Galling-and-Seizure-in-WC-Bushings-How-to-Prevent-It-www.retopz.com-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.retopz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Galling-and-Seizure-in-WC-Bushings-How-to-Prevent-It-www.retopz.com-3-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Recognizing the signs of galling and seizure early can help prevent costly damage.
