Corrosion Resistant Ceramics

Is your application exposed to chemical corrosion or attacks?

Do you need ceramic materials with higher toughness?

It’s time to transition to corrosion-resistant ceramics from Calix Ceramic Solutions. Corrosion is a common challenge faced by industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, metallurgy, and more. Traditional materials like metals often succumb to corrosion over time, leading to equipment failure, safety hazards, and costly downtime. Corrosion resistant ceramics offer a viable solution, providing unparalleled resistance to chemical attack, oxidation, and erosion even in the most aggressive environments.

Explore our diverse portfolio of oxide and non-oxide ceramic materials tailored to meet the demands of your severe corrosive service applications.

Key Factors of Corrosion Resistant Ceramics

Chemical Compatability

Chemical Compatibility

Understanding the specific chemicals present in the operating environment with different ceramic materials exhibiting varying degrees of resistance to acids, bases, solvents, and other corrosive substances.

Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion Resistance

The ability of the ceramic material to resist chemical attack and degradation over time, with consideration given to the material’s resistance to corrosion in both acidic and alkaline environments.

Temperature Stability

Temperature Stability

The ceramic materials ability to maintain its properties at elevated temperatures if the application involves both high temperatures and corrosive chemicals or conditions.

Mechanical Strength

Mechanical Strength

Adequate mechanical strength to withstand the stresses and loads of an application, such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and impact resistance.

Abrasion Resistance

Abrasion Resistance

Abrasive particles may exacerbate corrosion, corrosion resistant ceramics with high abrasion resistance can withstand the corrosive effects of abrasive media.

Dimensional Stability

Dimensional Stability

Proper fit and function of components over time is ensured by maintained dimensional stability.
