What are the production processes for ceramic fiber pipes and other ceramic fiber products?

The production of ceramic fiber pipes and other ceramic fiber products involves several key processes. First, raw materials such as alumina, silica, and other compounds are mixed and blended to create a slurry. This slurry is then extruded or blown into fibers, which are formed into the desired shape, such as pipes. The shaped fibers are then dried to remove moisture, followed by a heat treatment process called sintering, which hardens and strengthens the fibers. After sintering, the products may undergo additional finishing processes like cutting, grinding, or coating. Quality control checks are performed throughout the process to ensure the products meet specific performance and safety standards.
