After times of trials, we insist on choosing 95% Alumina Ceramics with high quality to ensure your best experience.

Pipe pieces with ceramic lining are specialized segments of piping designed to provide exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. These pieces are particularly useful in environments where conventional pipe materials would succumb to abrasive materials or corrosive chemicals. The ceramic lining serves as a protective barrier, extending the life of the pipe and reducing maintenance costs.

The ceramic lining is applied to the interior of the pipe pieces through various methods such as thermal spraying, where a ceramic material is heated and applied as a coating, or by using a slip casting process, where a liquid ceramic mixture is poured into a mold and then hardened. The choice of ceramic material can vary depending on the specific application requirements, with materials like alumina, silicon carbide, or zirconia being commonly used due to their high resistance to wear and corrosion.

The benefits of pipe pieces with ceramic lining include:

In industries such as mining, where the transport of abrasive slurries is common, or in chemical processing, where corrosive materials are handled, pipe pieces with ceramic lining are invaluable. They also find application in power plants, oil and gas transmission, and wastewater treatment facilities.

When specifying and ordering pipe pieces with ceramic lining, it's important to consider the pipe's nominal size, wall thickness, the type of ceramic material, and the method of lining application. Additionally, the end connections, such as flanged, threaded, or welded, should be specified to ensure compatibility with the existing piping system.

What is ceramic lined?

Ceramic lined is an application that provides protection for materials in environments that experience exposure to extreme chemicals and temperatures.

Ceramic lined refers to a material or surface that has a layer of ceramic applied to it. This ceramic layer provides protection against wear, corrosion, and abrasion, making it ideal for use in industrial applications where harsh conditions can cause damage to equipment over time. Ceramic lining is commonly used in pipes, tanks, and other equipment used in chemical processing, mining, and power generation industries.

Usage of Pipe Pieces With Ceramic Lining

The ceramic lined pipe transport has been widely used in the industries of electric power, metallurgy, coal, petroleum, chemical engineering, building materials, mechanism and so on.

Wear-resistant Ceramic Elbow

The ceramic lined elbow throughout the power, metallurgy, coal, petroleum, chemical, building materials, machinery and other industries, and high-speed development. When lining the wear-resistant ceramic elbow to deliver high grinding material (such as ash, coal, ore powder, etc.), there is a lining of wear-resistant ceramic elbow wear fast, especially the elbow Wear faster. When lining a The ceramic lined elbow to deliver a highly corrosive gas, liquid or solid, there is a problem that the lined wear-resistant ceramic elbow is corroded and is quickly damaged.

There is a problem that it is expensive to use a heat-resistant steel pipe when the material having a higher temperature is conveyed in the lining of the wear-resistant ceramic elbow. After lining the wear-resistant ceramic elbow, these problems are solved.

The ceramic lined elbow is widely used in wear and tear of the mine filling material, ore powder and tailings transport, coal-fired power plant powder, smelting, ash and other lined with wear-resistant ceramic elbow is also very appropriate.

Ceramic lined pipe properties

Wear-resistant ceramic composite pipe, full name ceramic liner composite steel pipe, is a kind of ceramic composite steel pipe.

Ceramic (Corundum: a-Al2O3) lined abrasion resistant straight pipe and fittings are lined with highly abrasion resistant ceramic by SHS -------Self-propagating High-temperature Synthetic process.

A small amount of iron also remains in the ceramic layer. There is a thin equiaxed grain area of alumina near the steel pipe wall, and then alumina was grown in form of dentrite to the surface of ceramic layer.

Physical properties

When abrasive material is transported through steel pipe in mining applications, typically as pumped slurry, the pipe can quickly be eroded from the inside out, which in more extreme cases can result in pipe leaks and even failure, or significant maintenance costs and downtime for pipe replacement.

Hoop strength

Hoop strength is the resistance against radial pressure. The strength of the ceramic -lined steel composite pipe is 300 to 500MPa.

Compression-Shear strength

Compression-shear strength is the bonding strength at the interface between the ceramic layer and the steel pipe. The compression-shear strength of the ceramic-lined composite pipe is 15 to 20MPa.

Resistance to mechanical shock

The ceramic layer does not crack or flake off when the composite pipe receives a mechanical shock.

Resistance to thermal shock

The ceramic layer does not crack or flake off when heated to 800℃ and then quenched.

Resistance to abrasion

The ceramic-lined steel composite pipe has exceptional resistance to abrasion. Its service life in materials transportation with hard abrasives is more than 20 times longer than in common steel pipe.

For these abrasive applications, mild steel pipe is not tough enough to stand up to the abuse for more than a year or two. As a result, maintenance engineers are seeking superior piping alternatives to reduce maintenance and prolong system life, at a price point that will not significantly impact the budget.

The general servicelife of common steel elbow is about 700 hours.


Good weld ability

The ceramic-lined steel composite pipe can be joined by welding the steel pipe layer.


Light weight

The ceramic-lined steel composite pipes are lighter than alloy pipes, cast iron pipes, and cast stone pipes, which reduces the expense of transportation and makes the pipes easier to install.

The composite pipes have good corrosion-resistant. There is no evidence of corrosion filling the composite pipes with bitter for one year (left), but the common steel pipe under the same condition is corroded seriously (right).

Ceramic liner composite pipe is different from traditional seamless steel pipe, wear-resisting alloy cast steel pipe, cast stone pipe, steel plastic pipe and steel rubber pipe.

Self-propagating High-temperature Synthetic process

Self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) is used to describe a process in which the initial reagents (usually powders), when ignited, spontaneously transform into products due to the exothermitic heat of reaction.

A well-known example of SHS reaction is the thermite reaction given below:

SHS fundamentals

This reaction generates temperatures above the melting point of alumina and is used in the thermit welding process for joining railway lines.

Several other terminologies - such as combustion synthesis, gasless combustion or self-propagating exothermic reaction - are used to describe the process.

The types of material that can be formed using this process include metal borides, silicides, carbides, nitrides, sulphides, aluminides and oxides.

Centrifugal casting

The combination of high rigidity of ceramic and high elasticity of steel gives the pipe unmatchable features as an abrasion resistant, heat resistant and corrosion resistant material for use in the fields of power generation, metallurgy, mining, and chemical industry etc.. It has many advantages over steel pipes, cast stone pipes, and steel-plastic compound pipes.

The composite pipe is composed of three layers: ceramic, intermediate, and steel layers. The ceramic layer is formed by molten alumina at a temperature above 2500 degree.

The molten alumina produced from the reaction Fe2O3+2Al=2Fe+Al2O3 spreads on the inside wall of the steel pipe under the influence of a centrifugal force, then solidifies, so the ceramic layer has high density and smooth surface and bonds to the steel pipe. They are widely used to convey highly abrasive material such as fly ash and any other fine powder material in mine, thermo power generating, coal processing plant, metallurgy, construction, etc. The service life is 10 to 20 times longer than normal steel pipe.
