Overseas Mining Case: Wear-Resistant Ceramic Slurry Pipelines Fully Replace Traditional Pipelines, Service Life Increase

2026-05-14

Project Background

A large iron ore project in Southeast Asia adopts long-distance pipelines to convey high-concentration iron ore slurry. The slurry contains a large number of hard quartz particles, with a fast flow rate and extremely strong abrasion. Traditional alloy and rubber-lined pipelines were originally used. Bends perforated and leaked in 3–6 months, and straight pipes needed replacement in about 1 year. Frequent downtime and maintenance kept production costs high.

Customer Pain Points

High hardness and concentration of slurry lead to a short service life of conventional wear-resistant materials

A high conveying flow rate causes serious scouring on the outside of bends

A large on-site temperature difference makes lining easy to fall off

Frequent replacement results in high downtime loss and maintenance costs

Solution

After an on-site investigation, we provided a complete set of wear-resistant ceramic slurry pipeline solutions:

Adopt a high-density corundum ceramic layer with a thickness customized to the abrasion intensity; wear resistance far exceeds that of rubber and alloy.

High-temperature sintering bonding process for ceramic and steel pipe, high bonding strength, vibration, and temperature difference resistance.

Thicken the ceramic layer for all bends and tees, and optimize the curvature radius to disperse particle impact.

Provide standardized installation guidance, set reasonable supports and fixings to reduce vibration and stress.

Advise customers to maintain a reasonable flow rate, regularly inspect abrasion conditions, and adjust working conditions in a timely manner.

Application Effect

Bend service life extended from 3–6 months to more than 24 months

Straight pipe service life extended from 1 year to more than 4 years

Annual pipeline replacement and maintenance costs reduced by 65%

Unplanned downtime reduced by 80%, system operates more stably

Customer Testimonial

“After replacing with ceramic pipelines, we have completely solved the problems of frequent leakage and replacement. The product quality is stable. The technical team made an accurate selection according to our slurry conditions, and the installation guidance is also in place. The whole conveying line runs more smoothly, and the comprehensive cost is greatly reduced. It is a very worthwhile wear-resistant solution.”
