Ceramic Lined Pipe usage
Conveying highly abrasive materials, steel piping systems are under constant attack often over long distances. To combat abrasion and keep piping systems in service as long as possible, the industry solution has been to install abrasion resistant (AR) pipe much harder on the Scale than standard steel pipe. The harder the inner wall, studies have shown, the better it resists gouging or plowing action of abrasive sliding particle flow.
Wear of wear-resistant tube is a universal phenomenon, where two objects touch each other and have relative movement of the surface will occur wear.Pipe wear refers to the wear phenomenon caused by disconnection or transfer of the material surface when the pipe material is impacted by flowing water and small but loose particles.
The wear of industrial wear-resistant pipe has always been a factor that affects the safe and civilized production. With the continuous development of science and technology, the materials are also constantly innovative, such as cast stone, cast steel, alloy, paste ceramic and so on.Among them, the pipe lining alumina ceramics with its high wear resistance, high hardness, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and high resistance to high and low temperature strength performance, has become the most widely used wear-resistant materials, occupy the world special ceramics market share (wear-resistant materials) of about 80%.
The use of ideal high strength, high toughness, high plastic material wear-resistant tube is an important way to reduce abrasive wear.
Unfortunately, this type of abrasion is only one type of wear experienced within the piping system. Impact abrasion, where a slurry meets the inner pipe wall at closer to 90° such as at the bends, elbows, laterals or tees in the system, has a decidedly unwelcome effect on the inner wall of the pipe.
At sharper angles, abrasive material actively “chips” away at a more brittle inner wall, eroding the surface from the inside out. So predominant is the problem that frequent replacement, repair, and the associated maintenance expenses at the bends, elbows, laterals and tees in the system are accepted as the norm.
So, the solution would appear straightforward. For sliding abrasion, an extremely hard interior pipe wall for the straight lengths of pipe and a more ductile inner wall at the directional transitions? Not so fast. Turns out size transitions and directional changes can experience both abrasive and impact wear.
According to SumXu, the variety of considerations that need to be addressed when it comes to abrasive wear illustrates the difference between simply ordering a piece of pipe and the broader field of piping system design.
“Designing a piping system is really a balancing act and each system is different,” SumXu said. “In some cases, if the abrasive material is softer than the steel used for the bends and it’s not moving very quickly, even an impact situation will not wear away the pipe. If the abrasive material is very hard or being conveyed at a higher velocity, alternative solutions at the directional transitions are required.”
Induction Hardening of the Bends
Strength and wear resistance can be improved by the addition of alloying elements to the steel during the pipe manufacturing process. This material is commonly referred to as AR200 (abrasion resistant) piping.
Strength and wear resistance can also be increased with secondary processing of the steel, including heat treating by induction hardening. Induction hardened pipe can last up to three to eight times longer than mild steel, with only a moderate price increase.
At 600 BHN the inner wall of the pipe can withstand the sliding abrasion of most common mining slurries, while its more ductile outer surface behaves like mild steel and can be cut and welded with proper procedure in the field, configured into a variety of fittings, and can accept the standard end options of flanges, weld rings and couplings.
The same technology is used to create the bends, elbows, laterals and tees with the same hardness profile.
Based on the premise that when two objects meet the harder object wins out, induction hardened pipe for both straight lengths and directional transitions is often sufficient for slurries of “softer” material such as coal and limestone. In some cases, mild steel pipe with induction hardened bends may work as well.
Increasing the Radius of the Bends
Another legitimate technique to mitigate the effects of impact abrasion is using induction hardened pipe in long radius bends. “If there is enough room, you can design the bend with an impingement angle of less than 15°, which is a small enough angle that you no longer have impact abrasion but essentially sliding abrasion,” SumXu said. “With a large enough bend, for all intents and purposes you have made it a straight pipe.”
The use of ideal high strength, high toughness, high plastic material abrasion resistant pipe is an important way to reduce abrasive wear.

In fact, the integral wear - resistant ceramic - lined tube has been widely used in the lithium production line of Japan and Korea.The integral wear-resistant ceramic lining bend has the characteristics of ultra-wear-resistant, anti-corrosion and high-temperature resistance. At the same time, as a non-metallic lining material with ultra-high hardness, the ceramic lining bend can effectively prevent the contact between the powder and iron and other harmful substances, reduce the content of iron and other impurities in the cathode material, thus improving the safety performance of the battery.The raw material conveying pipeline of lithium battery industry is seriously worn by the wind powder mixture, especially the elbow, because the airflow changes the flow direction at the bend, which is very serious for the outside of the elbow.
Lithium battery transportation problems:
However, the cathode material of lithium battery is mostly micron powder material, because the powder is not very fine, it is easy to dust, the production environment is extremely harsh, and it is not easy to operate and transport, the labor cost is greatly increased.However, the airflow transportation enables the transportation of lithium battery anode materials to achieve automatic production and unmanned workshop management. It is just like setting up a highway, and the materials can run safely and efficiently between various production processes.
