Engineered Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia MSZ Tube Multi Bore for Industrial Systems

Solving Application Challenges with ADCERAX® Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia MSZ Tube Multi Bore

The Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia Ceramic Tube Single Bore addresses real engineering problems where conventional ceramics such as alumina fail to deliver reliable performance. By combining high fracture toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and stability under thermal cycling, it provides practical solutions in advanced industrial sectors.

• Metallurgical Gas Distribution Systems

  ✅Key Advantages

  1. Uniform multi-jet diffusion (<10% flow variance) — Multi-bore geometry delivers near-even O₂/Ar injection at constant header pressure.
  2. Thermal-shock endurance >1000 °C — Survives repeated heat-quench cycles near molten baths without microcracking or spall.
  3. High toughness and strength — 8–10 MPa·m½ toughness and >800 MPa flexural strength resist chipping during ladle changes.

  ✅ ️Problem Solved

  A steel plant experienced six tube-related stoppages per month from fractured injectors during tap-to-tap cycles. After switching to ADCERAX® Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia MSZ Tube Multi Bore, stoppages fell by ≈70%, and gas distribution uniformity improved (flow variance cut to <10% at the tuyere). Oxygen utilization rose by ~8–12%, stabilizing bath chemistry and heat times. The mill reported lower energy per ton and fewer corrective blows over the following quarter.

• High-Temperature Sensor Protection

  ✅Key Advantages

  1. Accurate sensing at heat (>1000 °C) — Maintains geometry to keep probe alignment and signal fidelity in furnace zones.
  2. Mixed-gas erosion resistance — Zirconia matrix shows <2% mass change in 48 h H₂SO₄ exposure and resists alkali/sulfidation attack.
  3. Crack-arrest behavior — 8–10 MPa·m½ toughness reduces failure from vibration and steep thermal gradients.

  ✅ ️Problem Solved

  A power plant’s thermocouple shields cracked or eroded after 3–4 weeks at peak load, causing drift and unscheduled outages. With ADCERAX® Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia MSZ Tube Multi Bore shields, service intervals extended to ≈12 weeks, and unplanned downtime dropped by ~40 h/quarter. Post-run checks showed temperature drift <±3 °C after 1,000 h at high fire. Maintenance teams reduced hot-work entries and spare consumption in the same period.

• Hydraulic Cylinder Insulation

  ✅Key Advantages

  1. Low-friction bore finish (Ra ≤0.2 μm) — Polished MSZ bore lowers seal wear and start-up torque in hot-oil service.
  2. Wear life extension (≥3× vs alumina) — PSZ microstructure resists abrasion under pressure and particulate load.
  3. Chemical stability in fluids (>500 cycles) — Properties retained after repeated thermal cycling in common hydraulic oils and additives.

  ✅ ️Problem Solved

  A forge press running ≈180 °C hydraulic circuits saw liner wear-through and leakage every 3 months, forcing pressure derates. After adopting ADCERAX® Magnesia Stabilized Zirconia MSZ Tube Multi Bore liners, changeout intervals extended to ~9 months, and leak incidents dropped by ≈80%. System pressure stability improved, cutting make-up oil and cleanup. The operator logged a ~35% reduction in maintenance spend across two consecutive quarters.
