Wear-resistant ceramic lining extends the life of any pipe, elbow or tee by protecting against wear-and-tear damage. No matter whether it’s used for pneumatic conveying or solids storage purposes, saving money in repairs and replacement costs can help your organization reach financial performance goals more easily.
Silicon carbide resembles diamond in its hardness and light weight, being one of the toughest ceramic materials with excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion rates, and acid corrosion resistance properties.
High Temperature Resistance
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is one of the hardest and lightest advanced ceramic materials, similar to diamond in terms of hardness and abrasion resistance while providing high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of expansion and acid corrosion resistance – ideal characteristics for chemical plants or spray nozzles.
Ceramic-lined pipe elbows are specifically engineered to withstand abrasion and erosion in industrial settings with severe conditions, increasing operational longevity while decreasing maintenance costs. Our ceramic linings are composed of sintered SiC foam adhered to an epoxy polymer material embedded into steel pipes for seamless, monolithic results.
Pressureless sintered silicon carbide ceramic is an advanced refractory material composed of crystalline silicon and carbon, naturally found as moisanite in nature. Since 1893, synthetic versions have been produced synthetically as an abrasive. Characterized by high hardness, wear resistance, abrasion resistance, temperature stability and excellent temperature stability characteristics it offers superior abrasive qualities for use as an abrasive.
Strength and abrasion resistance of zirconia is three times that of alumina, and five times greater than high-alloy wear resistant cast steel. Furthermore, its insensitivity to angle of attack allows long periods of use without damage occurring; its corrosion resistance outshines all other refractory ceramics; thus it is ideal for environments such as sulfuric, hydrochloric, nitric acid solutions as well as chloride solutions.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Silicon carbide possesses high strength, excellent abrasion resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and excellent oxidation resistance – qualities which make it a good material choice for high temperature applications such as furnaces, kilns and high voltage wires. Furthermore, silicon carbide boasts excellent thermal conductivity with low thermal expansion coefficient that makes it suitable for semiconductor components. Furthermore, vacuum chucks, chemical mechanical polishing blocks and wafer carriers made of this material can withstand strong impacts without suffering severe wear-and-tear damage – making silicon carbide an excellent material choice to withstand severe impact or wear-and-tear wear-and abrasion forces.
Ceramic lined pipe can significantly enhance the performance of related equipment. For instance, in coal industries where traditional pipes may become easily damaged by strong abrasion and fluid erosion during long distance transport of coal powder transporting, replacing these traditional pipes with ceramic-lined ones can increase their lifespan fivefold.
Ceramic-lined pipe is constructed using reasonable particle assembly techniques that include adding silicon powder, alumina powder and binder through kneading, molding, drying and high-temperature sintering. Once complete, its excellent performance includes Moh’s hardness of 13 and wear resistance that outstrips that of steel or alloy steel products and 30 times that of high-alloy wear-resistant cast iron products – it is even capable of transporting materials that require high wear resistance, such as special wear-resistant steel powder and abrasive ash; additionally it can also transport corrosive and acidic substances without problems!
Easy to Weld
Silicon carbide is an extremely hard material with an abrasion resistance three times greater than corundum ceramics and five times that of high-alloy wear-resistant steel, as well as chemical corrosion resistance against strong acids and alkalis corrosion. Furthermore, its abrasion resistance surpasses 30 times higher than traditional steel pipes which greatly lower maintenance costs as well as being lightweight and easy to install or replace.
At the interface between ceramics and metals during welding processes, often an intricate and brittle compound forms due to different physical and chemical properties of these two materials that lead to bond conversion and reaction at their interfaces. At these points, oxides, carbides, nitrides, silicides and multicomponent compounds form at their intersection, making welding them together difficult or even impossible.
To solve this issue, the partial transient liquid phase (PTLP) method is widely employed to join ceramics with metallic alloys. Based on solid-phase diffusion welding technology and using an inhomogeneous porous material interlayer to promote diffusion and reaction between ceramics and metals while shortening connection times significantly, PTLP can be found widely used across thermal power, smelting, coal mining machinery mining as well as wear resistant elbows burner nozzles temperature measurement pipes cooling air pipes among many other structural parts requiring wear resistance such as wear resistant elbows burner nozzles temperature measurement pipes cooling air pipes among many other uses.
Long Life
Silicon carbide is a resilient material, designed to withstand high temperatures and heavy wear, which makes it a popular choice in pneumatic conveying systems in mining, oil & gas, petrochemicals, power generation, metallurgy, ceramics and other heavy industries. Silicon carbide also boasts an extremely hard Mohs scale rating for ceramic coating protection from abrasion moisture corrosion erosion for added elbow protection against erosion abrasion moisture corrosion corrosion erosion
Ceramic lining can outlive standard steel pipes or elbows by several orders of magnitude, and is much easier to install and maintain compared to other forms of wear-resistant materials. These benefits help reduce maintenance and downtime costs and help your company meet financial performance objectives.
When making investments, choosing the appropriate product is of vital importance. There is a wide variety of ceramics designed specifically for industrial use available today, such as boron nitride, cerium oxide and aluminium oxide – each offering different corrosion and abrasion protection properties.
Recrystallized silicon carbide boiler-burner pipe has been installed at four electricity generation power plants of Handan, Hebei Province power plant since 2004 and continues to perform well after eight years of use – our expectation is for it to outlive our expectations of 10+ years use through regular checks; its comprehensive performance is excellent with strong abrasion resistance, fluid erosion resistance, acid/alkali resistant qualities as well as corrosion protection properties.
