102.jpg (3709 bytes)  Dense Alumina Hearth Plate Type DAHP

GENERAL INFORMATIONplate.jpg (9002 bytes)
ZIRCAR Dense Alumina Hearth Plates are used for supporting loads in high temperature furnaces and other thermal process systems. These dense plates are made of fully sintered fine grain high purity alumina. Designed for use as high load bearing members, they exhibit high strength at operating temperatures as high as 3400°F (1870°C).

DAHP hearth plates are normally used as hearth plates in rapid cycle furnaces with air atmospheres operating to 3317°F (1825°C) . They may be positioned directly on the furnace floor or supported with hearth posts such as Reticulated Alumina Hearth Post Type RAHP.

These plates are also useful in furnaces with hydrogen atmospheres operating over  3100°F (1700°C). They are of exceptional high purity and contain only a trace of tramp oxides.
