Total media wear in ball mills is a product of three recognized
wear mechanisms including abrasion, corrosion and impact.
Also, the contributions to total media wear of each of these wearmechanisms has not been well established.Abrasion and
impact wear is metal loss due to mechanical force on the grinding
media. Erosion wear results from the friction between grinding
media and particles. Corrosive wear is defined as metal loss due to
chemical and/or electrochemical reactions of grinding media with
the solution and/or other electrochemical conductive particles.
