Cast basalt lined pipes exhibit exceptional wear resistance due to several key characteristics:
Structural Design: Cast basalt lined pipes are engineered with a well-thought-out structure. The internal arrangement consists of interlaced pyroxene spheres or feather-like crystallites of 0.05-0.1 mm, enhancing the material's hardness and wear resistance.
Low Water Absorption: These pipes have low water absorption, contributing to their resistance against the deteriorating effects of moisture.
High Compressive Strength: Cast basalt pipes possess high compressive strength, enabling them to endure heavy loads and pressures without deformation.
Chemical Resistance: With the exception of hot phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and dissolved alkali above 30℃, cast basalt exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of substances, including inorganic acids, organic acids, alkalis, salts, water, and organic solvents.
Hardness: The material's Mohs hardness reaches 7-8, indicating a high level of hardness that directly correlates with superior wear resistance. Harder materials generally exhibit better resistance to wear and abrasion.
Atomic and Molecular Structure: The combination of silicon and oxygen atoms in the silicate mineral structure is bound by strong forces at the atomic and molecular levels, contributing to the overall strength of the material.
While individual cast basalt lined pipes demonstrate good wear resistance in applications like blast furnace tanks, it's important to note the inherent brittleness of ceramic materials. This brittleness may result in breakage during heavy impacts. Additionally, single-piece pasting construction may exhibit signs of aging over extended periods. However, when properly applied and maintained, cast basalt lined pipes remain a popular choice for wear-resistant applications due to their durability and performance.
