Ceramic coating solutions for
industrial tubes & components
under High Temperature
Corrosion (HTC) conditions

Ceramic coating with thermal corrosion-erosion resistance applied on a grate CLINKER cooler plate for cement industry

Ceramic material heating microscopy characterization (Sintering% vs T)

Properties and opportunities

  • > Thermal resistance up to 800ºC in the metal substrate.
  • > Glassy Surfaces with very low roughness = little or no adherence of fouling.
  • >Thermochemical resistance to gases and/or salts deposits.
  • > Erosion resistance to abrasive particles.
  • >Specific ceramic formulations for welded areas.
  • > As ashes do not stick to the components:
    • - Cleaning “shakes” can be reduced if not avoided.
    • - Thermal efficiency will remain more constant as insulation will not grow.
    • - It might become possible to move on to higher performance industrial conditions.

6 m long metallic tubes with external ceramic coating placed in a Coke calciner's Heat Recuperator with Vanadate Ashes.

THIS INNOVATIVE GLOBAL SOLUTION FOR HARSH INDUSTRIAL ENVIROMENTS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED SIDE BY SIDE WITH KERACOAT COMPANY www.kera-coat.com

CIDETEC spinoff focused on tailor made ceramic formulations and, for tubes components, further industrially implemented by

TUBACOAT
www.tubacoat.com

(a subsidiary company of the Tubacex Group).
