Unmatched Strength With Alumina Tiles
Alumina ceramics excel in their resistance to abrasion, making them the ideal material for material conveying equipment surfaces that may experience impact wear. Furthermore, their heat tolerance and chemical inertness makes them the ideal choice in high temperature environments and chemical resistance environments.
Pressed alumina ceramic weldable tiles have proven themselves excellent ballistic protectors through NATO-FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) body armor tests, showing minimal penetration into tile/plate assemblies during these trials.
Substrates
Aluminum oxide (more commonly known as alumina) features strong ionic interatomic bonding that makes it one of the hardest and stiffest oxide ceramics. Although various crystallographic phases exist within it, aluminum oxide tends to settle back down into its most stable hexagonal alpha phase at elevated temperatures, providing optimal mechanical strength, electrical properties, refractoriness, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity characteristics.
Small alumina discs and tiles are widely utilized as substrates for LED and electronic packages or abrasion resistant linings on machinery. Thick plates can be transformed into anti-drill plates for locks, grinder resistant inserts for security fencing or mosaic mats that cover chutes in material handling equipment.
Alumina wear tiles help reduce destructive wear in mining, general industrial and energy processing applications while simultaneously cutting maintenance costs and downtime. These ceramic liners can protect against erosion, sliding abrasion and corrosion while remaining highly durable against liquid metals, steam and most chemicals/solvents/oxidizing/reducing solutions.
Rods
Alumina ceramic rods are unsung heroes in many industrial applications, providing strength and resilience in harsh conditions like chemical corrosion, extreme temperatures and mechanical stress. Engineered specifically to withstand such environments as these, Alumina rods provide reliable performance.
Their high abrasion resistance makes them ideal for use in security systems like anti-drill plates and grinder resistant inserts, as well as protecting electrical components in high-heat environments from failure and guaranteeing their safety and performance. Insulators made of these materials also serve to insulate them against failure while simultaneously improving performance, safety and protection of electrical devices in high-temperature environments.
Alumina ceramic’s outstanding chemical inertness and wear resistance make it an excellent material choice for reaction vessels and crucibles, protecting processed materials from potential chemical contamination while decreasing equipment malfunction or failure risks.
Tubes
Alumina ceramics boast superior strength, chemical resistance and thermal stability – qualities which make them highly valued industrial tools. A variety of grades, compositions and microstructures exist depending on their performance in specific environments.
PSZTA, or porcelain-silicate-zirconia alumina (commonly referred to as PZT), is one of the most versatile forms of alumina ceramics, comprising at least 90% pure aluminum oxide combined with zirconia particles for strength and fracture toughness. Highly machinable PZT material makes this highly functional material an excellent candidate for precision fabrication of components like vacuum equipment insulators, metallurgy linings, EV Battery components and much more.
ISO pressed alumina ceramic weldable tiles provide the ideal solution for protecting material conveying equipment surfaces in environments susceptible to sliding or impact abrasion and corrosion. These durable tiles offer long-term reliability with 10-20x longer service lives than basalt, wear-resistant alloy cast steel, or similar materials.
Tiles
Alumina tiles boast exceptional strength, hardness and refractoriness, as well as being resistant to corrosion from sulfuric, hydrochloric or nitric acids and other corrosive chemicals. Because of these qualities they’ve become an invaluable material choice in numerous applications including insulators, wear nozzles and blood valves.
Alumina ceramics are used as liners in bulk material handling equipment to reduce wear and corrosion damage that could otherwise lead to costly downtime, including mining equipment, coal processing plants, steel production facilities and oil refineries. They are commonly found used as such.
Alumina ceramic liners can be machined, threaded, perforated, rebated or slotted to meet design specifications, while their high corrosion and chemical attack resistance makes them suitable for environments requiring robust wear resistance. Furthermore, these bioinert materials can be sanitised easily to eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms, making alumina ceramics an excellent choice for food handling equipment
