Application of Wear-Resistant Alumina Ceramic Lining Bricks in Ball Mills
Wear-resistant alumina ceramic lining bricks are manufactured from high-purity alumina (Al₂O₃ content ≥92%) through high-temperature sintering. They exhibit a Mohs hardness of 8-9, bulk density ≥3.60 g/cm³, and water absorption ≤0.01%. Their wear resistance is 266 times that of manganese steel and 172 times that of chromium steel. Suitable for ball mill shell linings, these bricks significantly reduce impact wear on the mill shell from grinding media and prevent ferrous contamination of materials. Common specifications include rectangular bricks, wedge bricks, and profiled bricks, with thickness ranging from 40 mm to 90 mm. The use of alumina ceramic lining bricks in ball mills enhances grinding efficiency and reduces energy consumption. Compared with conventional high-manganese steel liners, ceramic bricks have a lower surface friction coefficient (0.1–0.2), leading to reduced material flow resistance and a 10%–15% decrease in mill specific power consumption. Additionally, the wear ra...
