Alumina Ceramic Tiles

Alumina is an exceptionally hard material that’s resistant to wear, corrosion and chemicals – qualities which have found widespread application as insulator layers for electron microscopes and microwave generators.

Green ceramic materials must be heated to high temperatures during production for sintering to produce dense solid-state material; this process may also cause shrinkage of up to 20%.

Durability

Alumina ceramic tiles excel in harsh wear environments due to their impact resistance, corrosion resilience, high temperature endurance and ease of installation – qualities which make them the ideal solution for protecting material conveying equipment surfaces across various industries including electric power, metallurgy, coal mines, petroleum refineries, cement plants and machinery.

Alumina Ceramic Tiles have an extremely low coefficient of friction, eliminating the need for lubricants. This provides for an easier operation and maintenance procedure while creating a safer work environment. Furthermore, ceramics provide insulation against hot materials or gases, helping ensure operator protection.

Due to their exceptional durability, alumina ceramic tiles boast an extended lifespan. This is because they can withstand constant exposure to high temperatures and chemical vapors without suffering damage or becoming porous over time – qualities which make these linings perfect for chemical processing applications.

Alumina ceramics are also widely used in laboratory settings, especially the production of TV and satellite transmitter tubes and microwave generators. Alumina ceramics’ resistance to extreme temperatures and electrical fields makes them an excellent choice for use as electrical insulation material, not to mention their dielectric properties which allow them to tolerate extremely high voltages without degradation over time.

Resistance to Corrosion

Alumina ceramic tiles are chemically inert and resist corrosion, providing high resistance against wear and corrosion for applications involving metals or other materials that degrade over time. Furthermore, their durability translates to long-term performance for applications involving the degradation of metals or materials that could compromise them.

Alumina ceramics exhibit low corrosion rates due to their microstructure and chemical composition, specifically their crystalline structure of sintered alumina ceramics, making grain boundaries less vulnerable to attack from mineral acids. Furthermore, segregation of impurities (CaO, Fe2O3, MgO and Na2O) at grain boundaries plays a significant role in their corrosion resistance.

Corrosion of alumina ceramics depends on both pH of the corrosive medium and exposure time, but has proven particularly resistant to 0.50mol dm-3 HNO3 at 25 degrees Celsius for 24 hours.

Weldable alumina ceramic tiles from Duratec offer excellent mechanical strength, diamond-hardness and chemical durability – qualities which allow them to serve as wear-resistant lining for steel pipes and equipment. Before installation, all rust, grease and paint must be completely removed without leaving traces; then high temperature wear-resistant glue is applied inside the pipeline’s inner wall in order to effectively prevent erosion of its steel pipeline linings preventing erosion by wear-and-tear damage and erosion; Duratec’s weldable ceramic tile helps extend service life exponentially thus saving cost for owners while prolonging service life over their ownership period of use thereby saving costs in maintenance costs over time and prolong their service lives, thus saving cost savings as compared with purchasing new steel pipe linings over their own lifetime cost savings alone.

Resistance to Abrasion

Alumina ceramic tiles provide outstanding resistance to abrasion. By protecting metal surfaces against wear-inducing materials like slurries, sand particles, corrosion or any other substances which erode structural integrity of equipment, alumina tiles help save you from costly repairs or downtime issues.

Due to its combination of hardness, low friction factor at low impingement angles and low density, these materials allow for easy transport and installation. Furthermore, they’re resistant to high temperatures as well as severe abrasion, making them suitable for services involving severe abrasion.

Chemically inert and resistant to acids, alkalis, salt solutions and organic solvents; high resistance to corrosion; insensitive to temperature variations – making it the ideal material for lining equipment and pipelines.

Alumina ceramic liners are an ideal way to protect conveyors, hoppers and material handling equipment from erosion and abrasion. Furthermore, these liners can help shield kilns and furnaces against heat damage while simultaneously helping protect walls against heat damage.

These tiles come in various standard sizes and shapes to meet a range of applications, often featuring an abrasion resistant lining with strong-high temperature adhesive to provide long-lasting solutions that provide durability and peace of mind.

Ease of Installation

Ceramic tile liners provide an economical alternative to conventional chute lining materials, providing superior sliding abrasion resistance and impact resistance. CorroTile ceramic liners feature world-class high density alumina ceramic bonded into an energy absorbing rubber matrix for tear resistance and impact absorption, helping prevent sudden impact forces from cracking the ceramic.

Alumina ceramic tiles are also easy to install. Simply use ceramic glue or epoxy, bond directly to a steel substrate and fabricate tile liners into any shape or length – giving you more customized solutions that meet your application.

Once installed, alumina ceramic tile flooring requires minimal care for proper maintenance. We advise routinely cleaning it to remove dirt and debris that accumulates over time as well as applying protective sealant every four to five years to keep its appearance looking brand new.

As alumina ceramics are very fragile, it is imperative that during installation all necessary safety guidelines are observed. Avoid construction in windy weather as this can cause pieces of ceramic glue to squeeze together and compromise its bond strength, damaging and staining surfaces until after curing has occurred. Cover your construction site with durable paperboard to further safeguard against damages until the ceramic liner has been installed and set.
