The greater the hardness of the material, the faster the wear rate of the ball mill liner and steel balls, which may cause equipment damage or even safety accidents in severe cases. In addition, the wear of the ball mill liner is also related to the steel balls. The size and quantity of the steel balls will affect the service life of the ball ...

This model has been added to a ball charge motion model allowing the simulation of mill wear rates as well as ball mill element wear and its affect on grinding performance. Simulation results presented show the interaction between wear and grinding performance. Further work is necessary to validate charge and wear model results using …

It is assumed that ball mill wear occurs in each of three comminution zones, with adhesive wear found in the crushing and tumbling zones and abrasive wear …

and ball mills. 5. Mills require different liner profiles and designs depending on mill size, speed, charge, charge level, type, size of grinding ... modifying the profile can balance the wear rate in the whole mill, minimize unexpected downtime, and prevent damage to the mill. A lining that does not fit properly will not protect the mill well ...

Wear is associated with the comminution mechanisms found in the ball charge profile. It is assumed that ball mill wear occurs in each of three comminution zones, with adhesive wear found in the crushing and tumbling zones and abrasive wear arising in the grinding zone. Wear rates are proportional to the energy dissipated in these zones …

In this study, we investigates the application of three powerful kernel-based supervised learning algorithms to develop a global model of the wear rate of grinding …

The wear rate of martensitic alloy steel balls was established by charging 20, 76 mm production heat treated Armco MOLY-COP balls to Unit 14 Ball Mill and testing for 534.1 operating hours. Twenty 76 mm pearlitic carbon steel balls, representative of the host charge, were tested concurrently by Climax for control purposes.
