Alumina & Silicon Carbide Lined Piping Systems for Abrasive & Slurry Applications | SiCera USA

SiCera supplies engineered ceramic-lined pipes and fittings designed to protect industrial piping systems operating in abrasive, erosive, and high-wear environments.

Our ceramic-lined piping systems significantly extend service life compared to carbon steel or rubber-lined systems, reducing downtime and lowering total maintenance costs.

We support U.S. industries including:

●Mining & mineral processing

●Cement production

●Steel plants

●Power generation

●Chemical processing

●Battery material handling

●Fly ash and slurry transport

Why Use Ceramic-Lined Pipes?

In high-wear systems, standard steel pipes experience:

●Rapid wall thinning

●Erosive wear at elbows

●Slurry damage

●Frequent replacement cycles

●Costly unplanned shutdowns

Ceramic-lined piping systems provide:

✔ Superior abrasion resistance

✔ Extended service life

✔ Reduced maintenance frequency

✔ Improved process reliability

✔ Lower lifecycle cost

Material Options for Ceramic Linings

SiCera offers ceramic-lined pipes using multiple high-performance materials:

Alumina (Al₂O₃) Lined Pipes

Best for:

●Sliding abrasion

●Bulk powder transport

●Cement and mining applications

●Moderate impact environments

Available grades:

●92% Alumina

●95% Alumina

●99% High-Purity Alumina

●ZTA (Zirconia Toughened Alumina)

Alumina liners are the industry-standard solution for cost-effective abrasion resistance.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) Lined Pipes

Best for:

●Severe erosive wear

●High-velocity slurry systems

●Elevated temperature environments

●Chemical exposure

Available options:

●Pressureless Sintered SiC (SSiC)

●Reaction Bonded SiC (RB-SiC)

SiC liners deliver premium performance in extreme abrasion and high-temperature applications.

Available Piping Components

SiCera supplies complete ceramic-lined piping systems including:

Straight Pipes

●Custom lengths

●Steel-backed or structural shell

●Flanged or weld-end connections

Elbows & Bends

●45° and 90° elbows

●Long radius and short radius bends

●High-wear impact zones

Reducers & Tees

●Concentric and eccentric reducers

●Ceramic-lined branch fittings

●Custom flow-control geometries

Cyclone & Separator Components

●High-abrasion internals

●Mining and cement cyclone liners

Performance Benefits

✔ High hardness internal lining

✔ Superior resistance to erosive wear

✔ Stable performance under slurry transport

✔ Improved internal flow efficiency

✔ High temperature tolerance

✔ Reduced risk of premature pipe failure

Ceramic-lined elbows and bends are particularly critical in systems where particle velocity is highest and steel failure occurs most frequently.

Typical U.S. Applications

Ceramic-lined pipes are widely used in:

●Slurry pipelines

●Fly ash transport systems

●Coal powder conveying

●Cement clinker handling

Engineering & Custom Fabrication

SiCera provides:

●Wear condition analysis

●Material selection consultation

●Custom pipe design

●CAD integration support

●Fabrication coordination

●Installation planning guidance

We work with plant engineers and OEM equipment manufacturers to develop durable, performance-driven piping systems.
