Digitalisation can boost the transformation towards a more sustainable circular economy. It can help closing the material loops by providing accurate information on the availability, location and condition of products. Digitalisation also enables more efficient processes in companies, helps minimise waste, promotes longer life for products and minimises the transaction costs. Thus, digitalisation...
Calculations on the global energy consumption due to friction and wear in the mineral mining industry are presented. For the first time, the impact of wear is also included in more detailed calculations in order to show its enormous tribological and economic impacts on this industry. A large variety of mining equipment used for the extraction, haulage and beneficiation of underground mining, surface...
Understanding how the wear environment and the history of the wear surfaces affect wear and wear rates is extremely important in mineral processing and mining applications. Through this, the lifetime expectations of wear parts can be estimated more precisely in wear environments with constantly changing abrasive media. Certain mineral combinations can increase wear rates extensively compared to some...
Abrasive wear is the most common type of wear phenomenon in mineral crushing industry. Tool steel matrix-based composites are an attractive choice to combat wear in those conditions because of their excellent abrasion resistance. One purpose of this study is to evaluate the abrasion resistance of such composites having different microstructures. Another purpose is to find out whether the simple dry...
