Chemshun Ceramics provides a full selection of shapes and sizes of wear-resistant ceramic tiles designed to withstand severe corrosion or abrasion environments, manufactured using advanced silicon carbide and alumina ceramic tiles.
Reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramics (RBSiC) offer exceptional resistance against erosion, corrosion and abrasion. Furthermore, RBSiCs have high hardness and toughness with great flexural strength for high levels of serviceability.
High Strength
Alumina ceramic is an advanced engineering ceramic composed primarily of aluminium oxide that boasts exceptional mechanical, electrical and thermal properties that make it highly sought-after by medical and scientific equipment manufacturers. Alumina ceramic has excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties while being resistant to corrosion and abrasion – these properties make alumina ceramics highly sought after as insulators or transducers in medical/scientific equipment.
Silicon carbide (SiC) technical ceramic is an exceptional hard material composed of silicon and carbon atoms, offering exceptional chemical and thermal stability as well as outstanding mechanical properties. SiC boasts excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance as well as Moh’s hardness of 9; making it suitable for applications involving sliding friction, wear conditions or production systems with frictional wear conditions.
ResisTek’s Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide (RBSC), an economical alternative to sintered alumina ceramics in many applications, offers an economical alternative. More cost effective than other high-performance materials and with great abrasion and impact resistance. Available in thicknesses, diameters and lengths; fabrication into tubes, liners or any other form required by your specific needs can easily take place.
High Temperature Resistance
Silicon carbide enhances ceramic durability and increases their ability to handle higher temperatures, which is critical for applications like kilns and furnaces where high temperatures are common. Furthermore, silicon carbide increases thermal conductivity of ceramics which speeds up heating or cooling processes.
Silicon carbide-based engineering ceramics tend to offer greater heat resistance compared to oxide-based ones; indeed, silicon carbide stands out as one of the premier non-oxide ceramic materials capable of handling extremely high temperatures.
Silicon carbide boasts excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, which allows it to withstand even the harshest of environments. For instance, its low coefficient of thermal expansion ensures it remains highly resistant against significant expansion/contraction during temperature fluctuations.
High Wear Resistance
Silicon carbide is an advanced ceramic material renowned for its high hardness and wear resistance, making it the ideal material for applications requiring high temperature performance such as molten metals and industrial furnaces. Furthermore, this versatile ceramic also excels in acidic environments as well as alkali conditions and oxidative environments.
Alumina ceramic is an advanced ceramic material composed of aluminum oxide that makes an excellent material choice for equipment protection applications. Alumina’s benefits include its low density and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, its insulation properties contribute to its outstanding abrasion-resistance and corrosion-resistance capabilities.
Pick the appropriate wear-resistant ceramic for your application by considering its requirements and operating environment. Consider size, shape and weight limits of your device as well as any chemical resistance requirements that need to be met; ceramics have various degrees of resistance against acids, bases, solvents and other chemicals, so selecting one that can withstand your equipment’s conditions should also be a top consideration. Cost considerations also need to be factored in when making your final decision; ceramic tile lined pipes may significantly lower project expenses by cutting replacement materials costs as well as maintenance expenses associated with replacement materials costs over time.
Low Friction Coefficient
The coefficient of friction measures how difficult it is for two surfaces to slide against one another. It varies depending on materials, their properties and how they’re being used; generally speaking, alumina ceramics and silicon carbide have very low friction coefficient values.
Alumina ceramics’ low friction coefficient makes them an excellent choice for protecting industrial equipment in harsh wear environments where coarse particles come into contact. Their high alumina content also enhances their resistance to corrosion and chemical erosion.
Ceramic wear tiles come in an assortment of shapes and sizes to meet the abrasion, corrosion or erosion needs of different applications. We provide access to advanced ceramic materials like Aluminum Oxide, Zirconia Toughened Alumina and Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide that meet even the toughest wear applications.
At Polyfab we specialize in developing custom-sized lining solutions for mineral processing equipment such as hydrocyclone slurry separators. These liners are cast in-house and coated in polyurethane to produce an installation-friendly lining solution with reduced installation times, costs and crack mitigation features for crack mitigation purposes as well as additional wear insurance benefits.
Long Service Life
Silicon Carbide and Alumina Ceramic Tiles can extend equipment lifespan in high wear environments by protecting it from abrasion and corrosion, increasing production efficiency while decreasing enterprise costs. When installed as linings in cyclones, tubes, chutes, hoppers or pipes they serve to increase service life while improving production efficiencies as well as reduce enterprise costs.
Advanced ceramics boast very tight dimensional tolerances and can be formed into complex shapes with ease. Their mechanical strength remains at elevated temperatures while they boast superior creep resistance over traditional metals – making them an excellent option for load bearing applications.
Reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) is an ideal wear resistant material. Boasting a Mohs hardness of 9 and offering outstanding abrasion, impact resistance, anti-oxidation, and chemical corrosion resistance properties; its service life exceeds that of 92% alumina liners; making RBSC suitable for highly abrasive mine abrasion applications.
