Wear Due to the Physical and Petrographic Properties of Rocks and their Dynamic Interactions with Mining Equipment

Wear to mining equipment reduces operational efficiency. If wear rates can be predicted, appropriate matching of alloys to the mine' s geologic conditions can aid in improving the operational efficiency. This study addresses rock characteristics which lead to wear. Macroscopic rock tools which...
