World wide steel consumption as grinding media is
estimated at over 600,000 tons per annum. Total steel
media wear in a given mill (ball or SAG) grinding
process is a product of three recognized wear
mechanisms impact, abrasion, and corrosion.
This necessitates the need for developing impact,
abrasion and corrosion wear testers that will allow
the study of media wear over a wide range of energy
levels. Refinement of the impact test will allow
studying how impact media wear at high energies
behaves as a function of those energies.
This book is focused on design and development of a
high- energy impact wear device. A comprehensive
illustration on designing the newest version of the
impact wear tester is explained in detail in order to
exhibit how theoretical, virtual and experimental
analyses could be integrated while designing a
mechanical system.
