Abstract

A hydrostatic seal assembly includes a seal support, a seal shoe integral to the seal support and radially movable relative to the seal support. A plurality of seal teeth are located at a radially inboard surface of the seal shoe. The seal shoe is formed from a first material and the radially inboard surface is formed from a second material softer than the first material such that the radially inboard surface is abradable in the event of a rub between the radially inboard surface and an adjacent rotating component.
