Steel in Translation Aims and scope

Abstract

The surface topography’s subsurface layer condition and the wear elements of balls operated in the mills using wet and dry grinding are studied. The factors that determine the tendency for products to increase its level of wear and cracking during operation have been revealed. Measures have been developed, and its implementation made it possible to manufacture grinding balls at a new quality level with high performance characteristics according to wear resistance and impact resistance.
