Grinding Ball Wear & Corrosion
Conclusions. Two types of wear mechanisms were identified in grinding the Cu-Ni-bearing sulfide gabbroic rock: (1) a strain-induced corrosion mechanism associated with abrasive gouging was prevalent in softer grinding media such as mild steel while, (2) a pitting corrosion mechanism associated with segregated areas in the ball, inclusions or ...

Improving the Quality of Steel Grinding Balls
In ore preparation for enrichment, grinding is the most expensive operation: it accounts for as much as 65% of the total costs [1]. More than 95% of the steel grinding components in mills are balls. Grinding balls are subject to repeated impacts and also to abrasive wear (in the case of wet grinding in aggressive oxidative media). Accordingly ...
Corrosion During Ore Grinding
Corrosion During Ore Grinding. Ore grinding is a major cost operation for the mineral processing industry.
