FAQ
Which wear-resistant ceramic materials can outperform rubber-lined steel and hardened pipe in terms of abrasion and corrosion resistance?
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories produces many material types able to withstand highly abrasive and corrosive environments. These include:
- Durafrax® - fine grain, high grade alumina
- Cryston® - high performance nitride-bonded silicon carbide
- Corguard® - ZAC fused cast AZS (a combination of alumina, zirconia and silica)
- Norfrax® - fine grain reaction bonded silicon carbide
- Hexoloy® - pressureless sintered silicon carbide
- Hammerfrax™ - patented high performance reaction bonded silicon carbide
- Refrax® - nitride bonded silicon carbide
Will Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ ceramics ensure improved value and performance versus a customer’s existing materials?
Yes. Even if a customer is already employing ceramic solutions, Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ experienced engineers can likely improve the service life of the existing system by introducing stronger, precisely engineered materials.
Lining systems from Saint-Gobain ensure tighter tolerances than traditional refractory bricks, resulting in shorter installation times with fewer field adjustments required.
This material quality, coupled with Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ application experience and strong focus on R&D enables the provision of custom engineered solutions that provide consistently better value over equipment service lives.
