The histograms of wear rates under different rotational speeds are shown in Fig. 11 (b). It is found that the wear rate is more sensitive to the change of the normal force because the wear rate at the end of each test increases as the increase of the normal force from k = 2.37 × 10 −8 N −1 mm 2 to k = 6.38 × 10 −8 N −1 mm 2.
For this coarser feed the 50 + 20+10 mm ball diameter mix breaks the material at a faster rate compared to the other ball matches. The availability of a ball size for a particular feed size ensures breakage occurs at a faster rate. The 10 mm ball size is unable to nip the large particle size hence the breakage rate is slower.

Apart from these cost factors, one of the major unsolved problems in the optimal design of ball mills concerns the equilibrium media size distribution in the mill, which is determined by the rate at which make-up media is added to the mill, as well as the rate at which these grinding media are consumed (Austin and Klimpel, 1985).
Rubber Ball Mill Liner Wear Rate Estimation (5 replies and 3 comments) ... The wear rate on rubber mill liners (in fact most if not all types of liners) is a function of ore type and PSD, media type and size distribution, mill filling level, speed and operational up-time. ...

The grinding media in a SAG mill are larger than in a ball mill, and there are fewer of them per ton of ore. The larger grinding media also contributes to a coarser grind, which is beneficial for downstream processes like flotation.
The size of grinding media is the primary factor that affects the overall milling efficiency of a ball mill (e.g. power consumption and particle size breakage).
The model demonstrated to be able to predict non-linear rates in grinding coarse particles in ball mills [20], predict the effect of operating and design variables on breakage rates in ball mills [21], as well as vertical stirred mills [[22], [23], [24]].

that the wear rate was proportional to the ball's surface area, n = 2; and Bond (1943) concluded that wear rate was proportional to the ball's diameter raised to a power of n = 2.21.
