The analysis of the influence of ball sizes in SAG grinding hasn't been developed in detail by considering the effect on process parameters inside the mill, grinding efficiency or internal classification. Historically a conventional grinding reference has been made on the empirical procedure developed by Azzaroni (1980).

The "tooth surface distortion" phenomenon is unavoidable when using the additional motion method for helical gear tooth axial modification. To solve this problem, the contact line morphology during helical gear grinding was evaluated by three indicators (the overrun, shift, and offset), and we established a multi-objective contact line optimization …

Adoption of autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding (AG/SAG) would lead to a significant simplification alternative to such plants. Within the scope of AG/SAG grinding, several approaches can be used in size reduction. For instance, the mill may be operated in the absence of steel grinding media (AG) or with steel balls (SAG) (Gupta …
