CRGI’s Enlast alumina ceramic tiles offer superior wear protection in equipment, reducing maintenance costs and downtime while prolonging its useful life. As such, they make an ideal solution to address corrosion, wear and sliding abrasion in agriculture, industrial and mining settings.
1. Extreme Strength
Alumina is one of the strongest materials on Earth and can withstand tremendous impacts without suffering damage. Due to its hard surface and diamond-hard properties, Alumina also boasts exceptional resistance against abrasion compared to conventional materials.
Alumina ceramics can be easily formed into shapes with excellent mechanical strength, rigidity and tolerances through pressing, forging or fabrication processes. Furthermore, chemical tempering may further improve their mechanical, impact and ballistic properties.
Material conveying equipment surfaces exposed to extreme wear environments require protection from wear-resistant materials like cast iron, steel, plastic and rubber that offer similar levels of resistance. Wear-resistant polymers provide up to 10x longer lifespan when compared with these alternatives.
2. Extreme Durability
Alumina stands up against diamond in hardness and wear resistance and is 12 times greater than silicon carbide for use in tough material handling and pipe lining applications. It is widely utilized for material handling systems as a lining material.
Impact, erosion and sliding abrasion resistance out-perform lower grades in these environments, while being chemically inert with respect to acids and alkalis at elevated temperatures; plus providing excellent electrical insulator properties.
Alumina ceramic tiles are the ideal solution for protecting transfer chutes, hoppers, bunkers, stock bins and tubes used in bulk materials handling conveying systems from corrosion erosion. Their wear-resistant surface reduces maintenance costs while increasing equipment lifespan and efficiency.
3. Extreme Resistance
Alumina is one of the hardest engineered ceramics available and its exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion make it an excellent material choice for lining steel pipes. Alumina also boasts high thermal conductivity as well as chemical and corrosion protection properties.
With its small crystal size and hard bonding matrix, NiHard(r) makes for an excellent material handling system choice, especially in situations of severe sliding abrasion and impact abrasion. NiHard can outlive NiHard alloy cast steels, rubber liners and wear-resistant alloy cast steels in chute lining applications; lasting three to 15 times longer in pipe spool lining applications.
Alumina is chemically inert, providing protection from acids and alkalis as well as salt solutions, while withstanding high temperatures without degrading.
4. Extreme Abrasion Resistance
Chemshun’s fine-grain Al2O3 alumina ceramic tiles provide the ideal solution to protect steel equipment against severe abrasion, corrosion and high temperatures – and eliminate costly downtime due to extensive wear – by protecting against severe abrasion, corrosion and high temperatures. They effectively shield it against damage while extending its service life while preventing costly downtime due to extended wear.
As an excellent option for handling dry materials, slurries, or dust-laden gases, ZTA lining systems make an excellent choice when used to protect bulk material conveying and production systems from erosion and wear-and-tear. Impact tests conducted with both 92% and 25% ZTA proved exceptionally resilient under mild and severe load conditions; its electrical resistance increases as purity levels do.
5. Extreme Temperature Resistance
Alumina boasts a high melting point and extreme temperature tolerance, making it the perfect material to use in environments that experience thermal shock. Furthermore, this chemically inert material has low coefficient of friction to protect equipment against corrosion while increasing flow efficiency and increasing flow efficiency.
By installing alumina ceramic liners into your mineral processing or bulk material handling equipment, you can extend its lifespan while cutting maintenance and repair costs and increasing productivity. These non-porous linings provide protection from sliding and impact abrasion; thus enabling greater performance for greater ROI.
6. Extreme Chemical Resistance
Alumina ceramics are chemically inert, offering resistance against acids, alkalis, salt solutions and organic solvents as well as corrosion.
Dependent upon the chemical used, its type and concentration of attack, temperature and duration, some chemicals will either swell or degrade alumina ceramics depending on their chemical attack and time/temperature/exposure combination. Mixtures of chemicals will alter resistance differently than single chemicals do.
IPS ceramics can be found in an assortment of applications, ranging from armor plates for military vehicles and structures to anti-friction liners in material handling and production systems – helping extend equipment lifespan while decreasing maintenance costs.
7. Extreme Resistance to Acids and Alkalis
Alumina is chemically inert and resistant to acids and alkalis that could erode equipment surfaces at higher temperatures, making it the ideal material to line equipment surfaces in demanding industries such as electric power, mining and metallurgy.
Alumina liners have the potential to outlast NiHard in chute lining applications by up to 10 times and outlive rubber in pipe spool applications by three or five times respectively, saving money through reduced maintenance costs, repair bills and equipment downtime as well as increasing productivity by prolonging equipment lifespan and productivity gains.
8. Extreme Temperature Resistance
Alumina tiles can withstand the abrasion caused by mineral processing equipment and bulk handling machinery, leading to reduced maintenance and repair costs and greater productivity from your equipment.
Weldable alumina ceramic is an excellent material to line cyclones, tubes, hoppers and chutes where extreme small particulate abrasion occurs. Additionally, special shapes can be manufactured for security fencing or grinder resistant inserts.
This grade features superior chemical and plasma resistance, along with exceptional dielectric properties for use in X-ray components, making it an excellent choice for high voltage bushings. Furthermore, this material can also be made into monolithic pieces or laminates with embedded textural layers for damage tolerance.
9. Extreme Resistance to Heat
Alumina ceramic tiles are extremely resistant to heat due to their dense nature. Their dense structure acts as an insulator and prevents electron flow, thus protecting equipment from potential damage or fire hazards.
Alumina ceramic wear tile provides the ideal combination of wear, impact resilience and corrosion resistance to protect material handling equipment surfaces from wear, erosion and sliding abrasion in applications including electric power generation, metallurgy, coal processing, petroleum refining, cement manufacturing and chemical processing applications. By prolonging equipment’s lifespan and saving maintenance and repair costs considerably alumina ceramic wear tile makes an invaluable choice to ensure its long life and reduced maintenance and repair expenses.
Ballistic attacks cannot penetrate it, making it an excellent material choice for use as protective armour plating on military vehicles and personnel.
