✦ Synopsis

This patent describes the manufacture of a seal with graded properties that may be used as the bearing seal in a down-hole rock bit. A property gradient is formed in a seal, or a section of the seal, from the exterior surface inwards without changing the seal composition. The property change is created by use of an electron beam.
