An energy diffusion sealing ring [ for use with a hydrocyclone or pump is provided. The energy diffusion sealing ring [ comprises a sacrificial suspension matrix [A] comprised of a polymer, elastomer, or combination thereof, and a number of packed inserts [B] suspended in the matrix [. The matrix [ serves as delivery means for the inserts [B] into one or more recessed portions [. The inserts [B] comprise a hard material (e.g., ceramic or carbide) and form wear bodies which slow and dissipate kinetic energy of escaping slurry by way of creating paths of resistance. As the suspension matrix [A] erodes over time, a plurality of interstices [C] between the inserts [B] are formed. Escaping slurry [ slows as it traverses three-dimensional serpentine paths defined by said interstices [C], thereby reducing its potential to wear surrounding components. Methods for manufacturing an energy diffusion sealing ring [ and for dissipating the energy of slurry [] are also disclosed. 1721072101000721072.
