Test Method for Jaw Crusher Gouging Abrasion Test

Abstract The hypothesis of oxidative and fatigue abrasion phenomena as the major cause of tire tread wear in normal operation has led to development of a laboratory test machine for which low severity, obtained by using paper tape as abrading material, and full temperature control are outstanding characteristics. Good uniformity and reproducibility of abrasion are obtained if proper care is taken. Proof of the basic theory and of its applicability to such a machine has been obtained through a survey of the effects of antioxidants in compounds and of test temperature variation. Application of this test method to tire tread compounds has given fair results here it has been possible to establish testing conditions sufficiently related to those in road tests. When these latter include a large range of severities, comparisons are less favorable and further study is being made to try to accommodate such cases.

Abrasion Testing

AbstractThis paper briefly introduces the basis of abrasion testing and suggests a rapid and simple test that allows the abrasion resistance of specific materials to be evaluated. Small, individual pieces of rock, mortar, or concrete can be tested and the method has been used to evaluate the potential for surface abrasion of concrete surfaces. Many of the commonly used test methods for measuring abrasion resistance of construction materials are aggregate tests such as the QMW mill abrasion test and the ASTM Los Angeles abrasion test which measure the combined resistance of a material to impact and abrasion. Other tests such as the aggregate abrasion and polished stone value tests require a smaller numberof resin mounted aggregate pieces to be studied. The ASTM surface abrasion test for concrete uses physically large flat test pieces. Like the ASTM test, the test method described in this paper measures only the abrasion resistance. However, it provides a means of comparing the abrasion resistance of small pieces of construction material and introduces quartz as a reference material.The test uses a mixture of oil and carborundum as a grinding medium with 10 mm square test pieces held by a standard load against a rotating steel lapping wheel in a rotating jig. The results are expressed as a ratio of the abrasion rate of the test material to that of quartz tested in the same way. This comparative approach enables the test to be carried out using equipment of various designs.
