A proposal of grinding media standardization for ball mill abrasion test

ABSTRACT The Ball Mill Abrasion Test (BMAT) is a laboratory experiment used to measure the resistance of materials under high-stress abrasion conditions. This test, however, has yet to be standardized. In this work, statistical theory determines the optimal number of spheres per material to be included in BMAT. This theory and the optimization method presented in this paper show that the optimal number of spheres for the usual experimental conditions is six. Finally, it is shown that if the optimization process is extended over a broader range of experimental conditions, the optimum number of spheres per material is also six.
