In the metallurgical industry, high-temperature, high-pressure, highly corrosive, and high-speed wear conditions pose stringent demands on equipment materials. As a leading enterprise in China’s wear-resistant ceramics sector, Pingxiang Chemshun Ceramics Co., Ltd. has successfully addressed wear-related challenges in metallurgy through its self-developed high-performance ceramic materials and systematic solutions. These innovations provide critical support for improving efficiency and enabling green transformation in steel, non-ferrous metals, and related industries.
I. Wear Resistance Challenges in the Metallurgical Industry and Ceramic Solutions
Severe equipment wear, high maintenance costs, and production downtime are common issues in metallurgical processes such as ore crushing, high-temperature smelting, slag handling, and flue gas purification. Traditional materials (e.g., high manganese steel, cast stone, rubber) struggle to meet long-term requirements for wear resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and corrosion resistance. Chemshun Ceramics offers three core solutions through material innovation and process optimization:
1.Ultra-Hard Wear-Resistant Ceramic Liners:
Made from 92%+ high-purity alumina ceramics with Rockwell hardness HRA85-90.
Wear resistance is 200 times that of high manganese steel, significantly extending the service life of crushing equipment (e.g., jaw crushers, cone crushers).
2.High-Temperature Resistant Ceramic Composite Pipes:
Inner layer: corundum ceramic; outer layer: carbon steel.
Integrated pipeline design resolves wear and corrosion issues in slurry transportation systems.
3.Inert Alumina Ceramic Balls:
Serve as furnace linings and catalyst carriers in metallurgical processes.
Low thermal conductivity and high chemical stability reduce energy consumption and extend furnace lifespan.
II. Core Application Scenarios and Technical Advantages
1.Ore Crushing and Grinding Systems
Issue: High ore hardness (e.g., iron ore with Mohs hardness 5-6) accelerates wear on crusher liners, causing frequent downtime.
Ceramic Solution: Chemshun’s “Dry High-Intensity Grinding Media” replaces traditional steel balls. With half the density of steel but 15x higher wear resistance, it achieves a 30% energy saving rate. Precision-formed ceramic liners ensure millimeter-level fitting, reducing material buildup and equipment vibration.
2.Flue Gas Purification and Environmental Systems
Issue: High dust content (100-300 mg/m³) in sintered flue gas leads to severe wear on filter bags and pipelines.
Ceramic Solution: Ceramic composite pipes offer superior wear resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and corrosion resistance, extending service life by 8x compared to standard steel pipes.
The application of wear-resistant ceramics in metallurgy represents not only a material upgrade but also a transformation in production models. Chemshun Ceramics delivers integrated solutions combining materials, processes, and services, driving the metallurgical industry toward efficiency, low-carbon practices, and intelligent development. In the future, wear-resistant ceramics will continue to create new value in high-end metallurgical equipment.
