Long-life Elbow For Abrasive Flow Systems
Wear resistant ceramic lined pipe bends provide unmatched protection in abrasive and corrosive flow environments, reducing downtime and maximizing equipment longevity at directional changes.
A wear-resistant ceramic-lined pipe bend is a type of pipe fitting designed to withstand significant wear and tear in industrial settings, especially where abrasive materials are transported. It consists of a steel pipe with a layer of wear-resistant ceramic material, like alumina or silicon carbide, bonded to the inner surface. This combination provides exceptional resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and high temperatures, making it suitable for demanding applications.
Wear resistant ceramic lined pipe bends are engineered solutions for pipeline direction changes in high-wear applications. These bends feature alumina ceramic liners (typically ≥92–95% Al₂O₃) embedded within a carbon steel or mild steel outer body, forming a composite structure that combines mechanical strength with extreme internal wear resistance.
These elbows are designed for use in power plants, mining operations, cement factories, steel mills, and chemical plants, where abrasive media like ash, ore slurry, coal powder, and sand are conveyed at high speed. The ceramic lining protects the inner arc of the elbow from impact, friction, and chemical corrosion, while the steel outer shell ensures the integrity of the pipeline under high-pressure or high-load conditions.
Ceramic lined pipes integrate ultra-hard alumina linings within steel pipes to withstand abrasion, corrosion, and high temperatures. These pipes are 10–20× more wear-resistant than carbon steel and up to 50% lighter than cast alloy alternatives.
Alumina liners (HRA ≥84–90) offer 10–20× the wear resistance of steel, extending service life significantly—up to 10× longer than unlined pipes.
α-alumina ceramics provide chemical stability in acidic, alkaline, and slurry-rich conditions, ensuring long-term performance in harsh environments.
Depending on bonding method, ceramic-lined pipes operate at 350–750°C (up to 1000°C with cast or welded liners).
Up to 50% lighter than cast stone pipes and reduces installation and maintenance costs by 20–40%.
Smooth ceramic interiors reduce friction, preventing material buildup and preserving conveyed material quality.
Handles slurry, tailings, and abrasive ores efficiently.
Used for coal ash, fly ash, and limestone transport lines in thermal power plants.
Resists chemical corrosion in acid/alkali transport lines.
Conveys cement dust, clinker, and hot gases in processing systems.
Reduces wear from high-speed flows in fly ash and dry material transport.
