Deep in the mine, when the mineral sand rushes in the pipeline at a very high speed, ordinary steel pipes are often worn through in less than half a year. The frequent damage of these “metal blood vessels” not only causes resource waste, but also may lead to production accidents. Nowadays, a new type of material is providing revolutionary protection for mining transportation systems – silicon carbide ceramics are acting as an “industrial shield” to strictly guard the safety line of mining transportation.
1、 Put ceramic armor on the pipeline
Wearing a silicon carbide ceramic protective layer on the inner wall of a steel pipeline transporting mineral sand is like putting bulletproof vests on the pipeline. The hardness of this ceramic is second only to diamond, and its wear resistance far exceeds that of steel. When sharp ore particles continue to impact inside the pipeline, the ceramic layer always maintains a smooth and new surface, greatly extending the service life of traditional steel pipes.
2、 Make the slurry flow smoother
At the tailings transportation site, the slurry containing chemicals is like a “corrosive river”, and honeycomb shaped erosion pits will quickly appear on the inner wall of ordinary steel pipes. The dense structure of silicon carbide ceramics is like a “waterproof coating”, which not only resists acid and alkali erosion, but its smooth surface can also prevent mineral powder bonding. After customers use our product, blockage accidents have significantly decreased and pumping efficiency has steadily improved.
3、 Durability expert in humid environments
The coal mine water pipeline is soaked in sulfur-containing wastewater for a long time, just like metal soaked in corrosive liquid for a long time. The anti-corrosion properties of silicon carbide ceramics make them exhibit amazing durability in humid environments. This feature significantly reduces maintenance costs, not only reducing equipment maintenance costs, but also minimizing losses caused by downtime due to equipment maintenance.
Conclusion:
In the pursuit of sustainable development today, silicon carbide ceramics not only reduce costs and increase efficiency for enterprises, but also reduce resource consumption by extending equipment life. This’ thinking material ‘is using technological power to safeguard the safety production of mines and inject green new energy into traditional heavy industry. The next time you see the rushing slurry in the mine, perhaps you can imagine that inside these steel pipelines, there is a layer of “industrial shield” silently guarding the smooth flow of industrial blood.
