Segmental Alumina Ceramic Wear Tiles are specialized ceramic components designed to protect industrial equipment from abrasion, erosion, and wear in harsh environments. Made from high-purity alumina (aluminum oxide, Al₂O₃), these tiles offer exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and longevity. Here’s a detailed overview:--- Key Features:1. High Hardness (Mohs 9): - Superior to steel, minimizing wear from abrasive materials like coal, ore, or cement.2. Excellent Wear Resistance: - Extends service life in applications with sliding or impact abrasion (e.g., chutes, hoppers, pipelines).3. Corrosion & Chemical Resistance: - Inert to acids, alkalis, and solvents, ideal for mining, power plants, and chemical processing.4. Lightweight: - Lighter than steel wear plates, reducing structural load.5. Customizable Shapes/Sizes: - Segmental design allows easy replacement and installation in complex geometries.6. High-Temperature Stability: - Withstands temperatures up to 1,600°C (2,912°F), suitable for thermal processes.--- Applications:- Material Handling: Chutes, conveyor systems, cyclones.- Mining & Cement: Crushers, screens, slurry pipelines.- Power Generation: Coal-fired boilers, ash ducts.- Steel Industry: Blast furnaces, sinter plants.- Chemical Processing: Abrasive slurry handling.--- Installation Methods:- Bonding: Adhesives (epoxy, ceramic glue) for flat surfaces.- Mechanical Fixing: Bolts/welded studs for high-impact areas.- Interlocking Segments: Modular designs for easy maintenance.--- Advantages Over Alternatives:- Longer Lifespan: Outlasts steel or rubber linings by 5–10×.- Lower Maintenance: Reduced downtime for replacements.- Cost-Effective: Higher upfront cost but lower total cost of ownership.--- Selection Considerations:- Alumina Content: 92%, 95%, or 99% purity (higher = better wear resistance).- Thickness: Typically 5–20 mm, depending on abrasion severity.- Operating Environment: Temperature, chemical exposure, impact forces.--- Leading Manufacturers/Suppliers (Global):- Ceramic Technology Inc.
