Can ceramic tiled linings be supplied on steel plates for ease and speed of replacement?
Ceramic tiled linings can be supplied bonded or welded to steel plates. The plates can then be bolted or welded into position. Q: Can fan blades be ceramic lined? A: Fan blades can be ceramic lined using a high strength flexible adhesive. If the tip speed of a fan blade lined with a ceramic having a fracture toughness of around 4 Mpa/m exceeds 70 metres per second when handling materials containing particles of silica, it is likely that the ceramic matrix will disintegrate.
