Understanding Charge Effects On Marked Ball Wear Rates – A Corrosion Study, John Bailey Fletcher Aug 2022

Understanding Charge Effects On Marked Ball Wear Rates – A Corrosion Study, John Bailey Fletcher

Masters Theses

"To measure the wear rates of grinding balls within a ball mill, marked ball wear tests (MBWTs) have been used extensively. Using the wear rates from a MBWT, operators select the most cost-effective media for their grinding application. One factor that a MBWT does not account for is the possible interaction between different media materials which could affect their corrosion rates. Galvanic coupling between dissimilar metals can cause significant changes in their corrosion rates. While galvanic interactions between minerals and grinding media have been studied, the interaction between dissimilar media has not. Corrosion rates and potentials of modern high carbon …
