Patent ID: 6918594

Claim:
A face seal assembly for sealing between rotating components of a gas turbine engine mounted on a rotating shaft and a housing circumscribing the rotating components comprising: an annular seal rotor adapted for mounting to the shaft, the seal having: a metal rotor base portion having a radially extending rotor flange with first and second axially facing rotor surfaces, and a first rotor ring mounted to the first axially facing rotor surface of the rotor flange by a first rotor braze joint, an annular stator adapted for mounting to the housing, the stator having: a metal stator base portion having a radially extending stator flange with first and second axially facing stator surfaces, and a first stator ring mounted to the first axially facing stator surface of the stator flange by a first stator braze joint, wherein one of said first and second axially facing rotor surfaces sealingly engages one of said first and second axially facing stator surfaces.
