Discussion on application of wear-resistant corundum ceramic to scraper conveyors

The paper summarizes the mechanical properties and advantages of corundum ceramic being as a new weara-resistant material through practical application cases.By analysing the methods of joining ceramic and metal,it is concluded that gluing is the best joining method at present.The major failure form of scraper conveyors is overwearing of middle troughs.It also demonstrates the feasibility of application of corundum ceramic serving as wear-resistance material to scraper conveyors as well as designs a new pattern of middle trough of scraper conveyors.
