Alumina Ceramic Tiles – Unmatched Surface Protection
Alumina ceramics offer exceptional wear resistance, impact resilience, corrosion protection and high temperature endurance to protect material conveying equipment surfaces from wear, impact and corrosion damage.
Alumina boasts diamond-hard hardness and excellent mechanical strength properties. Furthermore, its low chemical reactivity at elevated temperatures protects it from corrosion – qualities which are evidenced in its excellent abrasion resistance properties.
Impact Resistance
Duratec Alumina Ceramic Weldable Tile offers superior wear resistance, impact resilience and corrosion resistance – the ideal material for protecting material conveying equipment surfaces in extreme environments. Additionally, it boasts significantly longer service lives compared to basalt, wear resistant alloy cast steel, steel rubber or other construction materials subject to severe abrasion and high temperature conditions.
Alumina ceramics feature smaller crystal sizes than conventional engineering ceramics, which makes them harder and denser. Their increased toughness helps decrease impingement angles while decreasing risk of erosive wear; also, since there are no metal or glass particles present that could lead to abrasions, there’s less likelihood of them leading to injury.
Before applying ceramic linings to any surface, the pasting surface must be thoroughly cleaned and dried off to remove all signs of dirt, such as rust, paint or any other forms of debris that might remain. Once installed, this must then be approved by an inspector of quality before being accepted by them as suitable – ceramic liners can then be utilized in elbows, bends, reducers and T pipes.
Corrosion Resistance
Alumina technical ceramics are highly resistant to corrosion and chemical erosion, making them perfect for use as lining in industrial equipment that experiences intense wear, such as steel pipes used to transport slurry. Alumina technical ceramics may also help shield furnaces and kilns against the effects of heat damage by protecting walls against heat damage.
Alumina’s high purity and microstructure makes it extremely chemically stable, capable of withstanding even acidic solutions without degradation or deterioration. Furthermore, Alumina excels at resisting oxidation and acid erosion.
Alumina can withstand high temperatures, making it the ideal material for lining industrial equipment and reducing lubricant requirements, thus cutting maintenance costs and prolonging equipment lifespan. Due to its superior thermal stability and durability, alumina is widely used across power, metallurgy, petroleum, cement and other industry equipment lining applications; however its yellowing with age could limit certain uses.
High Temperature Resistance
Alumina ceramic tiles can be attached to carbon steel pipe elbows, reducers, and bends for an effective erosion-protection lining system in environments prone to erosion. Furthermore, these tiles thrive in high temperature environments while offering great resistance against sliding abrasion.
Alumina ceramic liner systems are widely utilized in power plants, metallurgical operations, coal handling facilities, petroleum refineries and cement plants to protect equipment that may be subject to severe small particulate abrasion or impacts. Available in different thicknesses to meet specific application needs.
Alumina bulletproof ceramics boast impressive energy consumption, sound velocity and low porosity upon impact, which allow them to efficiently dissipate kinetic energy into surrounding matrix composite materials. Numerous studies have investigated how various surface treatments affect adhesion of alumina to glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites, with results showing that treatments such as degreasing, etching plasma grit blasting and silane treatment had significant impacts on adhesive strength.
Easy Maintenance
Alumina ceramic tiles are low maintenance and perfect for environments requiring robust wear resistance, such as electric power plants, coal handling facilities, metallurgical operations, petroleum refineries and cement plants. Their diamond-hard surface with its high density composition offers exceptional sliding abrasion resistance making them the go-to lining solution in these industries.
Based on their application, tiles may be replaced at any time without doing a complete replacement, thus prolonging the lifespan of equipment significantly.
Before installing, ceramic tile liners must be free from floating ash, grease, and iron sand skin. Furthermore, any dirt must be eliminated from pasting surfaces before an appropriate thickness of uniform adhesive is pasted onto them – which will then be checked by a quality inspector to be ready for installation. Wear-resistant ceramic lining is 266 times stronger than high chromium cast iron and has proven its ability to extend lifespan by 10 times!
