Hexagonal Cast Basalt Slate
Hexagonal basalt slates for unique and creative design requirements.
Casted basalt tiles are high-performance wear-resistant lining materials designed to protect industrial equipment from severe abrasion, erosion and impact damage.
Casted basalt tiles are premium wear-resistant lining materials manufactured from carefully selected natural basalt rock through high-temperature melting, casting, controlled crystallization, and annealing processes. These tiles provide exceptional protection against abrasion, erosion, impact, and chemical attack in demanding industrial environments.
Due to their dense microcrystalline structure and outstanding hardness, casted basalt tiles have become one of the most effective wear protection solutions for mining operations, thermal power plants, cement factories, steel mills, ports, and bulk material handling facilities worldwide.
Casted basalt tiles are engineered wear-resistant tiles produced by melting volcanic basalt at temperatures above 1250°C and subsequently casting the molten material into molds. Through a carefully controlled crystallization process, the material develops an extremely hard and compact structure with superior abrasion resistance.
These tiles are installed on equipment surfaces exposed to abrasive materials such as coal, clinker, iron ore, limestone, slag, fly ash, silica sand, aggregates, and mineral concentrates. They effectively protect steel structures from premature wear and extend equipment service life.
Compared with ordinary steel liners, casted basalt tiles offer significantly longer operating life while reducing maintenance costs and production downtime.
Casted basalt tiles are a type of lining material that is used to protect equipment and structures from abrasion and wear caused by the flow of abrasive materials. The basalt tiles are made by casting a volcanic rock called basalt in a manner that is similar to the casting of cast iron. They are then carefully annealed to form a re-crystallized black ceramic with high levels of hardness and abrasion resistance.
These tiles have many advantages over traditional lining materials such as rubber, metal or ceramics. They have excellent wear life expectancy, are highly resistant to chemicals, and can withstand extreme temperatures. Basalt tiles are commonly used for lining chutes, bunkers, hoppers, drag chains, and sluiceways in industrial settings where there is a high risk of abrasion and wear.
Casted basalt tiles are commonly used in various construction and architectural applications due to their durability, strength, and aesthetic appeal. Some of the common uses of casted basalt tiles include:
| Production Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Raw Material Selection | High-quality natural volcanic basalt is selected. |

Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.
Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.
Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.
The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.
Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.
The ASTM A213 T91 seamless tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger.
