Component Specifications

Definition
Flow channel lining is a specialized refractory component installed within refractory nozzle bodies to create a durable, thermally resistant passage for molten materials such as metals, glass, or ceramics. It serves as a protective barrier against thermal shock, chemical corrosion, and mechanical erosion during high-temperature industrial processes, ensuring consistent flow characteristics and extending equipment lifespan.
Working Principle
The flow channel lining operates by providing a sacrificial or permanent protective layer that withstands extreme temperatures (typically 1000-1800°C) and corrosive environments. It maintains dimensional stability of the flow path, prevents material adhesion, and minimizes heat transfer to the outer nozzle structure through its low thermal conductivity properties.
Materials
High-alumina refractory (70-95% Al₂O₃), zirconia-based ceramics, silicon carbide composites, or fused cast refractories. May include bonding agents like phosphate or colloidal silica.
Technical Parameters
  • Porosity 10-25%
  • Chemical Composition Al₂O₃: 70-95%, SiO₂: 3-25%, ZrO₂: 0-40%
  • Thermal Conductivity 1.5-3.5 W/m·K
  • Cold Crushing Strength 30-100 MPa
  • Temperature Resistance 1400-1800°C
  • Thermal Shock Resistance ≥20 cycles (water quench test)
Standards
ISO 1927, DIN 51061
