Abstract: Ball mills are used in the last stage of ore processing for grinding raw materials. Forged 70Cr2 alloy steel and Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) balls are materials from which grinding balls are made for Sarcheshmeh Copper Plant (SCP) ball mills. In the present study wear and impact properties of these two kinds of balls have been investigated. Some balls randomly were selected as ...

Abstract The use of natural rocks as cutting tool material poses an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional materials. So far, however, the basics grinding processes for rock tools have not been systematically investigated. This study, therefore, presents investigation removal mechanisms four different types and a mono mineral via scratch tests analogous face plunge process used in...

This paper describes the design and manufacturing of a rigid positioning system with high resolution based on piezostepper technology. The planar piezostepper is able to move along the three in-plane directions and is able to make small correction movements in the out-of-plane directions. The piezostepper integrates the drive system, the transmission, and the bearing system into a single steppi...

The grinding force is a key parameter in the grinding process, which is closely associated with the grinding mechanism of engineering ceramics, microstructure and properties of ceramic materials, and the selection of grinding parameters. Meanwhile, it is also a key indicator to assess the grindability of a material. The grinding force is a crucial parameter to reflect the grinding process, whic...

A highly efficient, chemoselective synthesis of a library of polysubstituted pyrroles and tetrahydropyridines has been achieved through the one-pot, multicomponent reactions of ethyl (E)-3-(aryl/alkyl amino) acrylates, 2,2-dihydroxy-1-arylethan-1-ones, and malononitrile under solvent- and catalyst-free grinding conditions. The selective formation of pyrrole or tetrahydropyridines relied on subs...

master moulds are used to cast copper anode moulds. these iron moulds are made of grey or nodular cast irons. according to desirable properties of ductile irons, it was expected that ductile cast iron moulds could have performed their nominal life. but in service, these moulds have not performed their nominal life and they have experienced premature failures due to warping and cracking. also gr...
