The applications of high strength aluminium silicate boards
Here are some key characteristics and applications of high strength aluminium silicate boards : Composition - Made of highly compressed aluminium silicate fibers held together with a mineral binder. Density - Boards have a high density of 800-1000 kg/m3, contributing to their durability. Strength - Compressive strength exceeds 50-70N/mm2, making them suitable for load bearing applications. Rigidity - Modules of elasticity above 15,000 N/mm2 results in rigid, dimensionally stable boards. Temperature Resistance - Withstands temperatures up to 1250°C without damage, decomposition or pulverization. Low Thermal Conductivity - Achieves k-values as low as 0.12 W/mK, retaining heat efficiently. Applications - Used as furnace lining boards, kiln shelves, ladles, tundishes, back-up insulation, plugging & patching. Advantages - High strength to weight ratio reduces structural costs, dimensional stability withstands thermal shocks/vibration. Sizes - Available in standard sizes like 1000...
