Corundum Mullite Plate

Corundum Mullite Plate
Details:
Corundum Mullite Plates are premium refractory materials engineered to withstand extreme thermal, mechanical, and chemical stresses in high-temperature industrial applications. Composed of high-purity alumina (Al₂O₃) and mullite (3Al₂O₃·2SiO₂), these Corundum Mullite trays exhibit exceptional thermal shock resistance, low thermal expansion, and superior corrosion resistance against molten metals, slag, and aggressive chemicals.With a dense microstructure and excellent mechanical strength, Corundum Mullite ceramic setter plates are widely used in steelmaking, glass manufacturing, petrochemical processing, and other industries where extreme heat and abrasion are major challenges.

Corundum Mullite Plates are manufactured using advanced sintering technology, resulting in a fine-grained, high-density structure that maximizes durability and thermal stability. The unique combination of corundum (high-alumina content) and mullite (excellent thermal shock resistance) provides a balanced performance profile, making these high alumina refractory plate suitable for applications ranging from 1400°C to 1700°C. ullite-based ceramic boards are available in various thicknesses (10mm to 50mm) and dimensions (customizable up to 500mm x 500mm), ensuring compatibility with diverse industrial setups.

Product Usage:

Corundum Mullite Plates are indispensable in industries requiring robust thermal protection:

Steel & Non-Ferrous Metal Processing: Used in ladle linings, tundish covers, and blast furnace components to withstand molten metal splashes and slag corrosion.

Glass & Ceramics Manufacturing: Furnace lining tile for kiln furniture (shelves, setters) due to their high refractoriness and low thermal expansion.

Petrochemical & Incineration: Employed in reformer furnaces, cracking units, and waste incinerators to resist high-temperature gas erosion.

Power Generation: Applied in boiler linings and burner nozzles for coal-fired plants, ensuring durability in extreme thermal cycles.

Aerospace & Defense: Used in thermal barriers and heat shields for high-temperature aerospace components.

 

Product Advantages

 

Exceptional Thermal Shock Resistance – The low thermal expansion coefficient of mullite prevents cracking during rapid temperature fluctuations, extending service life in cyclic heating applications.

High Mechanical Strength – With a cold crushing strength (CCS) exceeding 100MPa, the plates resist deformation and mechanical wear in abrasive environments.

Superior Chemical Stability – Resistant to corrosion from molten metals (e.g., aluminum, copper), slag, and acidic/alkaline atmospheres, making them ideal for foundries and chemical reactors.

Low Thermal Conductivity – Reduces heat dissipation, improving energy efficiency in furnaces and kilns.

Customizable Dimensions & Surface Finishes – Available in standard and custom sizes, with options for polished, grooved, or drilled surfaces to meet specific installation requirements.

Long Service Life – The dense, non-porous structure minimizes penetration by molten materials, reducing erosion and maintenance costs.

 

Product technology:

 

Corundum Mullite Plates are produced through a meticulously controlled process:

Raw Material Selection – High-purity alumina and silica are blended with sintering aids to optimize mullite formation.

Forming – The mixture is pressed isostatically or by dry pressing to achieve uniform density and minimal internal defects.

Sintering – Fired at temperatures exceeding 1600°C in tunnel kilns to ensure complete mullitization and densification.

Precision Machining – Post-sintering, plates are cut, ground, or polished to meet exact dimensional tolerances
