Ceramic fiber is a kind of high-quality and high-strength insulating material, which is widely used in various industrial and civil fields. It has the following excellent characteristics:
High temperature resistance: The material of ceramic fiber can withstand high temperature environment, generally can reach high temperature environment above 1000 ℃, and will not melt or decompose at high temperature.
Chemical corrosion resistance: Ceramic fiber materials have excellent chemical stability and can withstand the corrosion of most harmful chemical substances, such as acids, alkalis, salts, etc.
Lightweight and high-strength: Ceramic fiber has a relatively light specific gravity, but it has high strength and hardness, reaching Mohs hardness of 6-7 and 6-7.5 respectively.
Based on the above characteristics and excellent performance, ceramic fibers are widely used in many fields. The following are several main application areas:
Fire wall, boiler, kiln heat insulation: Ceramic fiber can be used for heat insulation of high temperature equipment such as fire wall, boiler, kiln, etc., because it can withstand high temperature and prevent heat loss.
Air Filtration: Ceramic fibers have excellent filtration performance and can be used for industrial air filtration, such as the treatment of exhaust gas emitted by automobiles.
Medical and hygiene: Gauze and bandages made of ceramic fibers can be used for medical dressings. They are hygroscopic, breathable, and not easy to stick, which makes them important materials in the field of medical and hygiene.
Aerospace: The light weight and high strength of ceramic fibers make it widely used in the aerospace field, such as aircraft bulkhead insulation, engine sleeve insulation, etc.
Musical instruments: The sound shell made of ceramic fiber can be used to improve the sound of musical instruments, which can greatly reduce the volume of musical instruments and increase the clarity of sound.
Electronic devices: Ceramic fiber can be used in the protection of electronic devices, such as ceramic insulation materials for electronic components, because it can withstand high temperature and chemical corrosion.
In short, ceramic fiber has a wide range of applications and has become an indispensable high-quality material, which plays an increasingly important role in the process of modern industrialization.
