Cast Basalt Plate
Durable cast basalt plates, ideal for applications requiring high wear resistance.
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is a precision-engineered wear resistant lining tile designed for complex surfaces and severe abrasion applications in mining, power generation and cement industries.
High-hardness, chemically inert lining material for abrasive and high-temperature industrial environments.
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is manufactured from natural basalt rock, melted at temperatures exceeding 1,200°C and cast into precision hexagonal molds. Its geometry allows tight interlocking, minimizing movement and joint exposure in lining systems.
| Property | Typical Value / Performance |
|---|---|
| Hardness | Mohs 8 (exceptional abrasion resistance) |
| Water Absorption | < 0.5%, suitable for wet and outdoor service |
| Chemical Resistance | Resistant to most acids and alkalis (except HF) |
| Maximum Service Temperature | Up to 450°C (continuous) |
| Health & Safety | Non-toxic, non-combustible, odorless |
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is widely used to line equipment handling abrasive bulk solids, slurries and high-temperature flue gas streams.
Due to its dense, non-porous surface, hexagonal cast basalt requires minimal maintenance. Routine inspections and simple cleaning are generally sufficient. The material’s inherent abrasion resistance and aging stability allow for extended maintenance intervals, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
Summary: Hexagonal cast basalt slate combines exceptional wear resistance, chemical stability and thermal durability. When correctly installed and protected from severe impact, it represents a cost-effective, long-life lining solution across mining, power, cement and steel industries.
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is a specially designed wear lining tile featuring a six-sided geometry that provides superior surface coverage compared to conventional rectangular tiles. The hexagonal shape reduces stress concentration points and enables seamless installation on both flat and curved equipment surfaces.
Manufactured from carefully selected natural basalt rock, the material develops a dense microcrystalline structure after controlled crystallization, providing hardness comparable to high-grade ceramics while maintaining excellent resistance to impact and thermal shock.
The combination of geometric efficiency and exceptional material properties makes hexagonal basalt slates one of the most effective solutions for industrial wear protection.
The Hexagonal Cast Basalt Slate is an advanced material solution known for its extreme durability and wear resistance, making it perfect for industrial applications. Its unique hexagonal shape provides enhanced coverage and interlocking capability, ideal for environments exposed to heavy wear and abrasion.
Provides tight installation patterns with minimal gaps and maximum lining coverage.
Outstanding protection against abrasion from coal, ore, clinker, slag and ash.
Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis and aggressive industrial environments.
Reduces maintenance downtime and significantly lowers replacement costs.

Other specifications of cast steel pipe lined with basalt can be manufactured according to customer technical requirements. Suitable for large-diameter basalt lining steel pipes with a nominal diameter greater than 800mm. Generally, according to the running status of the pipeline, different cement is used to fix the basalt brick inside the finished steel pipe to complete the basalt lining steel pipe. Its advantages are good wear resistance, wide range of use, basically not limited by the size of the pipeline and low cost of pipeline installation.
