Abstract
Long ceramic-lined pipes (>3 m) have been uniformly produced by a thermite reaction induced under the influence of a centrifugal force (“Centrifugal-Thermite Process”) without any high-temperature furnace facilities. The characteristic feature of the present process for forming uniform ceramic layers is in its reaction propagation as well as the reaction heat and centrifugal force. It is very important in improving the quality of the ceramic-lined pipes to find the proper conditions of the reactant and centrifugal force; the former mainly determines the produced ceramic layer quality and the latter the achievement of layer separation and the mechanical properties of the pipes. The present paper deals with the R & D on the centrifugal-thermite process and the properties of the produced ceramic-lined pipe, specially on its resistance against corrosion, abrasion and thermal shock.
