Abstract
Conducting realistic wear tests on the middle plates of scraper conveyors is challenging.
This paper uses middle plate wear as an example to introduce a versatile abrasive wear test device. The device considers frictional relationships and motion forms between mechanical structures to replicate actual conditions and allows for single-factor comparative analysis.
Using this test device, orthogonal testing was conducted to establish that the abrasive hardness are the principal determinants of wear. From the perspective of three-body wear, the rationality of rock pretreatment to reduce wear was verified. An optimal abrasive particle size was identified that minimizes wear, and two novel methods were proposed to reduce the wear of the middle plate. A predictive model for middle plate wear was developed with limited test data, showing that R2 and R2adj are above 89 %. A tool was provided to facilitate the rapid development of materials with enhanced wear resistance.
This study provides tools and theoretical guidance for investigating wear mechanisms and enhancing material wear resistance.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
