Ultimate Protection – Discover the Strength of Alumina Tiles

Alumina ceramic tiles provide outstanding protection from abrasion and corrosion, protecting equipment from degradation while increasing its lifespan while decreasing maintenance and downtime costs.

Alumina is known to withstand both high temperatures and chemical corrosion, making it suitable for many different environments. This article will focus on low-soda alumina which is often found in electronic and electrical components.

Abrasion Resistance

Ceramic Alumina Tiles and Liners from United Ceramic are an effective solution when you need to protect surfaces in environments subject to high wear and corrosion. This high-density material has proven itself time after time when erosion, sliding abrasion or impact abrasion is an issue for materials handling equipment or mineral processing machinery.

This inorganic oxide boasts a stable molecular structure and chemical inertness; thus enabling it to withstand corrosion caused by acids, alkalis, salt solutions and organic solvents at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, its low friction coefficient reduces lubricant requirements while improving flow efficiency.

Pressed alumina tiles and liners are lightweight and simple to install, featuring holes or slots designed to fasten with screws, nails or adhesives – reducing installation time and effort significantly. We offer various shapes and sizes of pressed alumina liners depending on your application, such as cylinders, trapezoid bricks, blocks or sheets to best meet any space – as well as 2mm to 12mm thick ceramic tiles to meet all needs.

Corrosion Resistance

Contrary to many ceramics, alumina stands up exceptionally well against chemical attack; indeed, its corrosion resistance ranks second only behind silicon carbide in terms of corrosion protection.

Alumina tiles are highly suitable for environments prone to corrosion such as those found in mining and material transfer applications, such as those encountered when mining is conducted at depth, as well as applications involving material transfer applications like material transfers between trucks. Alumina tiles can also be used as wear-and-tear preventers in cyclones, tubes, hoppers, chutes and chutes as well as security fencing linings, anti-drill plates for locks and grinder resistant inserts in doors.

Alumina is an excellent material choice for use in metallised products such as ceramic-to-metal feedthroughs, pressure sensor and transducer insulators, gun assemblies for laser power tubes and electron tube components, implantable medical device components and implantable medical device components. Sputtering targets made of alumina make an attractive option, while its inert nature means it does not react with acids and alkalis and does not absorb moisture from either atmosphere or liquid sources – two key advantages over other ceramic materials which could otherwise be damaged by acids/alkalis/moisture absorption by other ceramic materials that could otherwise be damaged by other chemical substances or chemical substances than can happen with others ceramic materials that absorb moisture from either environment or liquid sources compared with others which could become damaged due to these reactions/absorption.

High Temperature Resistance

Alumina ceramic tiles are an ideal solution for high temperature industrial equipment lining applications. Their rugged nature enables them to withstand even the harshest environments such as those found in kilns and furnaces on challenging production lines, offering exceptional resistance against high temperature environments and corrosion.

Ceramic material is used in bulletproof armor due to its impressive shock resistance, acting as the initial line of defense by absorbing initial impacts before dissipating any remaining energy through dispersion layers.

CRGI’s Enlast alumina ceramic tiles provide a great way to protect material handling and storage equipment against destructive wear. Their unique material composition provides outstanding corrosion, erosion, and sliding abrasion resistance – helping extend service life and reduce maintenance costs and downtime.

Impact Resistance

Alumina ceramics are some of the toughest engineered materials around. Not only are they exceptionally strong, hard, and abrasion resistant but they’re also extremely durable under stress; having excellent impact resistance as well as a high elastic modulus that enables them to absorb much of the energy generated during an impact event.

Alumina ceramics’ remarkable resilience makes them the ideal choice for use in environments requiring heavy wear protection, such as electric power plants, metallurgical industries and coal handling equipment. Furthermore, these resilient materials excel when placed under high stress or shock loads such as transporting raw materials.

Research into the mechanical properties of alumina ceramics has focused heavily on their impact resistance, with much attention paid to impact-abrasive wear of both alumina and ZTA under different abrasion conditions and test methods (such as drop weight tests or armor piercing tests with 7.62 mm projectiles) over recent years. The results show that tiles supported with steel, aluminum or spectra composite support plates offer better impact resistance due to reduced deformation at contact surfaces and dissipated energy quickly while minimising reflection of stresses between tiles and support plates at interfaces between support plates and tiles.
