ALUMINAS
Used in heavy industry for years as a cost-effective, wear-resistant solution, these lightweight materials offer high durability, strength, and excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance. Alumina wear resistant compositions include:
Alumina 90: most common wear product with great wear resistance
Alumina 92: increased wear performance
Alumina 96: premium alumina for best wear resistance
Zirconia toughened alumina: increased strength and impact resistance
SILICON CARBIDES
Silicon carbides offer superior wear at high temperatures, yielding a long life in the most abrasive environments. CoorsTek can manufacture intricate and large shaped designs to meet your specifications. CoorsTek Silicon Carbide formulations include:
Nitride bonded: provides great wear performance
Fine grain: provides excellent wear performance and is used for thin-wall applications
Coarse grain: provides excellent wear performance and is used for thick-wall and higher impact applications
Ultra grain: provides the ultimate wear performance for extremely high chemical and abrasion resistance
