a cone having a tapered outer surface;
a slips assembly positioned at least partially around the tapered outer surface of the cone;
a sealing ring positioned at least partially around the tapered outer surface of the cone, wherein the slips assembly directly engages the sealing ring, such that the slips assembly is configured to transmit a setting force onto the sealing ring, which moves the sealing ring on the tapered outer surface of the cone and expands the sealing ring radially outward, wherein the sealing ring comprises a base material and a sealing element;
