Alumina ceramics possess several special properties that make them an excellent material choice for wear nozzles, blood valves and electrical insulation applications. Alumina ceramics are abrasion-resistant, chemically inert and boast exceptional hermeticity – qualities which make it suitable for applications involving alumina tiles, blood valves and electrical insulation. Porous alumina exhibits variable mechanical strength and hardness depending on its sintering temperature, yet has superior corrosion resistance as well as high compressive strength.
High-density
PVC pipe can be found in numerous industrial and processing applications, from lining chutes, hoppers and cyclone separators against erosion to steel production furnace lining and ladle lining – to providing long-term surface protection in conveyor belt lining applications. It has many uses from protective lining to corrosion protection to lining equipment to protecting equipment against heavy abrasion or erosion damage from heavy use – as well as being an excellent choice for conveyor belt lining applications and lining.
Alumina ceramics are often chosen for applications requiring high temperature resistance and chemical inertness, including production lines with challenging environmental conditions and kilns on challenging production lines. Furthermore, alumina ceramics have military uses too; including armour plating for vehicles and personnel.
alumina tiles are widely utilized in bulk material handling equipment used for mining and coal processing, to prevent destructive wear and corrosion damage that leads to equipment breakdown and downtime. Ceramic linings also serve well in steel production facilities that operate under high temperatures and harsh abrasive environments, where equipment could otherwise become compromised over time.
Alumina tiles can also be an effective means of preventing corrosion in pipelines and tanks, thanks to its superior strength and abrasion resistance. Alumina’s versatile properties make it suitable for industrial applications in oil, gas, steel and chemical industries; plus it is eco-friendly material as it does not rust or react with acids and alkalis.
High-strength
Alumina ceramics feature high-density diamond-hardness and excellent mechanical strength properties, which makes them suitable for many applications. Furthermore, they have resistance to corrosion and can be sanitised to eliminate bacteria or any harmful microorganisms present on their surfaces. Furthermore, a variety of shapes and sizes are available to meet various application needs.
Alumina tiles are widely utilized as wear resistant linings in material handling and processing equipment, providing extended operational lifespan as well as reduced downtime and maintenance costs. Alumina is especially well suited for sliding or shear interactions between abrasive material and equipment surfaces, thus prolonging their useful life and decreasing downtime costs.
Alumina tiles are frequently employed in the mining industry as protective linings for chutes and hoppers to guard against abrasion, or they may be integrated into cyclone separators and conveyor pulleys. Furthermore, these alumina tiles may also be lined on tanks and bins in order to reduce build-ups of solids in liquids.
Alumina tiles can be customized to meet any application, with various shapes and sizes created through drilling, cutting and scoring techniques. A variety of grades including sintered (99.7%) and zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) are also available. Due to its versatile durability and toughness, Alumina tiles can also be machined to suit design specifications as well as being thermal bonded onto metal substrates using thermal bonding technologies.
Alumina ceramic is one of the densest ceramic materials, offering great wear resistance, chemical-corrosion resistance and temperature stability. Additionally, it bonds well with other materials to form complex components and assemblies – which makes it suitable for many uses including laser power tubes, telecommunications components, aerospace parts for automobiles, electrical equipment and new energy batteries.
Alumina ceramics are specially-coated to meet the rigorous demands of high vacuum and high temperature environments, and come in different grades to meet specific application needs. Common applications for Alumina ceramics include high vacuum insulators, flow measurement sensors, wear resistant components such as flow meters or sensors for measuring flow rate or volumetric change, X-ray tube connectors and electron microscopes.
Corrosion-resistant
Corrosion resistance of alumina tiles is an essential feature that contributes to their durability and longevity. Due to their high melting point, these ceramics are resistant to many corrosive chemicals and minerals while being hard enough to endure wear-and-tear wear without degradation over time. Furthermore, they can withstand extremely high temperatures without becoming damaged over time.
Alumina ceramics can vary significantly in their chemical and physical characteristics depending on the composition and bonding of its particles, so its properties can be altered with additives or materials added into ceramics such as manganese oxide (MnO2) to increase hardness; silicon dioxide (SiO2) to improve thermal shock resistance; and low levels of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) can improve corrosion resistance and longevity at high temperatures.
Corrosion of alumina depends heavily on its concentration and temperature when exposed to acidic or alkaline solutions, with high-purity alumina being highly resistant to sulfuric and hydrochloric acids as well as unaffected by nitric acid. Furthermore, its corrosion resistance is increased by increasing ceramic density by decreasing porosity so as less of the corrosive medium is allowed infiltrating its pores structure.
As such, alumina ceramic is frequently utilized in metalised products including electrodes for nuclear reactors, vacuum pump insulators and transducer insulators, vacuum pump seal flanges, connectors for gun assemblies and X-ray tubes, connectors for gun assemblies and X-ray tubes as well as refractory materials used for furnaces and glass drawing crucibles. With outstanding resistance against corrosion and oxidation properties it makes an excellent choice in demanding processing environments such as those found within the oil industry.
Alumina-based composite is composed of high density and strength ceramic particles bonded together with a crystalline alumina silicate matrix to form the ceramic shape. This process, known as press forming, ensures its integrity after firing, making this an industry standard solution for industrial equipment subjected to wear and corrosion. Furthermore, this material offers excellent abrasion-resistance while having long lifespan; providing cost-effective solutions in these instances.
High-temperature resistant
Alumina tiles are an ideal material to use in high-temperature environments because of their nonreactivity, corrosion-resistance and hard surface. As such, they make an ideal addition to furnaces and kilns operating at very high temperatures; their good thermal insulation properties reduce energy loss and enhance efficiency; fabrication can be accomplished using various bonding and forming techniques; they may even be blended with various additives to modify and improve their physical properties.
Density of ceramic materials is measured in grams per cubic centimeter (3g/cm3). A higher density indicates a denser and stronger material; Alumina for instance is composed of fine particles that sinter together into an extremely hard, dense body that can be injection molded, die pressed, isostatically pressed, slip cast, or extruded for manufacture into various shapes, sizes and thicknesses.
This high-purity alumina ceramic offers outstanding impact, wear, and sliding abrasion resistance as well as cost-effective lining solutions for industrial equipment. Furthermore, its hermeticity ranks it as one of the best engineered ceramics, making it suitable for high vacuum systems, X-ray component feed throughs, high voltage bushings and applications that require mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties in equal measures.
Alumina is a non-reactive material, meaning it does not react with alkalis or acids at high temperatures, as well as resist salt and solvent solutions, prolonging its durability and lifespan. Furthermore, Alumina boasts a low melting point which ensures structural integrity at higher temperatures.
Alumina ceramics have an array of uses in various industries, from construction and agriculture to military applications and body armor manufacturing. Alumina ceramics can also be bonded with various materials to increase their strength, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and formability – not to mention being easy to clean and maintain!
