In many factories, some key equipment, such as fan casings, chutes, elbows, pump body mouth rings, etc., are often quickly worn out due to the erosion of high-speed solid containing fluids. Although these ‘easy to wear points’ are not significant, they directly affect the operational efficiency and shutdown frequency of the equipment. Today we are going to talk about the small guards specifically designed to “withstand” these wear and tear – silicon carbide wear-resistant blocks.
Some people may ask, why use “silicon carbide” to make wear-resistant blocks? The answer is actually very intuitive. Firstly, it is “hard”. Silicon carbide has extremely high hardness, second only to diamond, and can withstand the erosion of high-speed particles for a long time; Next is’ stability ‘, which has stable chemical properties, is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and will not be’ eaten ‘by many industrial media; Once again, it is’ heat-resistant ‘, which can work stably at higher temperatures and is not easily cracked in the face of temperature fluctuations. More importantly, it has a smooth surface and low friction coefficient, which not only reduces wear but also lowers fluid resistance, helping the equipment to be more energy-efficient.
Installing silicon carbide wear-resistant blocks on the “easy to wear points” of the equipment is like putting a layer of “invisible armor” on the equipment. The most direct benefit is significantly extending the lifespan of the equipment, reducing the number of shutdowns and replacements, and lowering maintenance costs; Secondly, stabilize the production process to avoid efficiency decline or product contamination caused by local wear and tear; At the same time, due to its shape and size that can be customized according to the actual situation of the equipment, the installation method is also flexible and diverse. Whether it is fixed with bolts or bonded with special adhesive, it can achieve a tight fit, ensuring that it is not easy to fall off under severe erosion.
Of course, in order for the wear-resistant block to truly function, selection and installation details are equally important. For example, the appropriate type and structure of silicon carbide should be selected based on the particle size, flow rate, temperature, and chemical properties of the medium; During installation, ensure that the surface is clean and tightly adhered to avoid stress concentration caused by “hard hitting”; During use, try to maintain stable working conditions and avoid excessive flow and concentration fluctuations. By doing these well, the lifespan and effectiveness of the wear-resistant block will be more guaranteed.
Overall, silicon carbide wear-resistant blocks are a “small for big” solution: they are not large in size, but can effectively protect critical equipment and safeguard continuous production. If you are also troubled by local wear problems in production, you may want to learn about silicon carbide wear-resistant blocks and see how they can “reduce the burden” of your equipment and “add points” to your production capacity.
