Cast Basalt is produced by melting of naturally available basalt rock and cast into tiles and cylinder. The casting is so produced is then subjected to heat treatment cycle to produce Re – crystallized basalt the resultant product is called as fused cast basalt which has excellent wear resistant properties against sliding and friction induced abrasion and also inherits the inertness of parent material.
1 .Introduction
Cast Basalt is a mineral of exceptionally high abrasion resistance, with unlimited resistance to moisture, high compressive strength, and resistance to virtually all acids and alkalis. It’s completely corrosion-free and reaches a hardness value of 8 (min) on the Moh’s hardness scale, comparable to diamonds.
Cast Basalt is produced by melting naturally available basalt rock and casting it into tiles and cylinders. The castings are then subjected to heat treatment cycles to produce re-crystallized basalt, resulting in fused Cast Basalt. This material has excellent wear-resistant properties against sliding and friction-induced abrasion and retains the inertness of the parent materials. Cast Basalt is manufactured in the form of pipe sections, tiles, cylinders, and trench liners.

3.Specification
• Nominal Bore: 32 to 600 mm
• Thickness Ranging: 20 to 30 mm
• Length: 500 mm
• Friction Resistance : As more material is passed over Cast Basalt it gets polished up thereby reducing friction further. Cast Basalt improves in service after getting polished. Wetting also improves its performance in practical applications.
• Impact Resistance : Direct Impact Resistance at 90 degree is low like all other ceramics, but it can be increased with proper installation by reducing the angle of impact. Cast Basalt is the best wherever sliding abrasion exists. Moreover, external impact strength of composite basalt pipe (enclosed in M.S. Shell) is always more than that of bare Ni-hard Pipe.
• Chemical Resistance : Cast Basalt is almost absolutely acid/alkali resistant (except Hydrofluoric Acid) and hence corrosion resistant.
• Weight and Sizes : Basalt Tiles are available in regular shape square of 200 x 200 x 30 mm thick, weighing approx. 90 kg/sq m; whereas bends and pipes are lined using Basalt Cylinders of various standard sizes from 50NB upto 500NB.
• Temperature : Cast Basalt withstands temperature up to 4500 C
