Kingfisher - Model K-ZAS - Fused Corundum Lining System - Brochure

K-ZAS is rated at 9 MOHS and is ideally suited to the protection of plant suffering from severe abrasion and erosion. The material also has a high resistance to thermal shock. The raw materials used for the manufacture of our K-ZAS lining material are zirconia, alumina and silicon which are crushed, screened and fed into an electric arc furnace where it is smelted at 1450°C. At this stage the minerals are converted into a molten state and cast into moulds. These components remain in the moulds and are placed into an annealing chamber where dependant on the volume of the casting determines what duration of heat treatment is required, where at the end of this process results in a material with characteristics of extreme abrasion resistance as well as resistance to high thermal stresses.
