Aluminum Titanate Ceramic Plate Overview

Aluminum titanate ceramic plates are flat, high-performance components made from aluminum titanate (Al₂TiO₅), designed for use in high-temperature environments involving molten non-ferrous metals. These plates are known for their excellent thermal shock resistance, low thermal expansion, and non-wettability to molten aluminum, which prevents metal adhesion and extends service life. They are commonly used in casting systems, insulation barriers, and support structures, providing exceptional dimensional stability and durability under demanding thermal cycling conditions.

Applications

• Thermal insulation in casting systems: Serve as heat-resistant barriers or linings in equipment exposed to molten aluminum and high temperatures.

• Support plates in foundry operations: Provide structural support for molds, crucibles, or other ceramic components during casting.

• Base plates in low-pressure die casting (LPDC): Function as mounting or sealing plates in LPDC machines for stable, heat-resistant operation.

• Flow control assemblies: Integrated into sliding gates, nozzles, and other systems to control and guide molten metal flow.

• Protective liners: Act as wear-resistant, non-reactive surfaces inside launder systems and dosing chambers.

• Molten metal processing equipment: Used in devices requiring strong thermal resistance and non-wettability to aluminum, helping to extend system life.

Packaging

Products are packaged in customized cartons or wooden crates according to size. Small items are securely packed in polypropylene (PP) boxes, while larger pieces are placed in custom wooden crates. Appropriate cushioning materials are used to ensure safe transportation.

Manufacturing and Testing

Testing procedures include:

• Chemical composition analysis to verify purity and compliance.

• Mechanical property testing, including tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.

• Dimensional inspection to ensure thickness, width, and length meet specifications.

• Surface quality inspection to detect defects such as scratches, cracks, or inclusions through visual and ultrasonic examination.

• Hardness testing to confirm uniformity and mechanical reliability.
