FORM 08
Ceramic Wear Parts
Liners, guides, bushes and contact parts that outlast metal where surfaces abrade or gall.
Material detailsFORM 06
Ceramic Nozzles
Nozzles and orifice parts where an abrasive or corrosive stream must keep its shape.
A nozzle is a wear part with a measurement problem: the orifice decides the stream, and the stream decides how fast the orifice grows. That is why orifice diameter and bore finish are the two values we hold tightest.
Alumina is the usual starting point for abrasive duty. Silicon carbide and zirconia come in where the particle is harder, the velocity is higher, or the stream is chemically aggressive.
Specification and control points
| Material system | Alumina · Silicon carbide · Zirconia |
|---|---|
| Orifice | To drawing, single or multiple |
| Bore | Straight, tapered or stepped |
| Entry and exit | Chamfered or radiused as drawn |
| Bore finish | Ground where flow or wear rate matters |
| Mounting | Thread, flange, groove or clamped as drawn |
