Abrasiveness of rock plays an important role on the wear of rock cutting tools. In this study, Cerchar abrasiveness tests were carried out to assess the abrasiveness of 19 different Korean rocks. Cerchar abrasiveness test is widely used to assess the abrasiveness of rock because of its simplicity and inexpensive cost. This study examines the relationship between Cerchar Abrasiveness Index (CAI) and mechanical properties (uniaxial compressive strength, Brazilian tensile strength, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, porosity, shore hardness of rock), and the effect of quartz content, equivalent quartz content, which was obtained from XRD analysis. As a result of test, CAI was more influenced by petrographical properties than by the bonding strength of the matrix material of rock. CAI prediction model which consisted of UCS and EQC was proposed. CAI decreased linearly with the hardness of the steel pin. Numerical analysis was performed using Autodyn-3D for simulating the Cerchar abrasiveness test. In the simulations, most of pin wear occurred during the initial scratching distance, and CAI increased with the increase of normal loading.

There have been developed a number of methods to assess the abrasivity of rock materials with the increased use of mechanized rock excavation. These methods range from determination of abrasive and hard mineral content using petrographic thin section analysis to weight loss or development of wear flat on a specified cutting tool. The Cerchar abrasivity index (CAI) test has been widely accepted for the assessment of rock abrasiveness. This test has been considered to provide a reliable indication of rock abrasiveness for isotropic rocks. However, a great amount of rocks in nature are anisotropic. Hence, viability assessment of Cerchar abrasivity test for the anisotropic rocks is investigated in this research. The relationship between CAI value and quartz content for the isotropic rocks is well known in literature. However, a correlation between EQ, F-Schimazek value, Rock Abrasivity Index (RAI) and CAI of anisotropic rocks such as phyllite was done first time in literature with this research. The results obtained with this research show F-Schimazek values and RAI values should be considered when determination of the abrasivity of anisotropic rocks instead of just using Cerchar scratch test.

The most widely used parameter to represent rock abrasiveness is the Cerchar abrasivity index (CAI). The CAI value can be applied to predict wear in TBM cutters. It has been extensively demonstrated that the CAI is affected significantly by cementation degree, strength, and amount of abrasive minerals, i.e., the quartz content or equivalent quartz content in rocks. The relationship between the properties of rocks and the CAI is investigated in this study. A database comprising 223 observations that includes rock types, uniaxial compressive strengths, Brazilian tensile strengths, equivalent quartz contents, quartz contents, brittleness indices, and CAIs is constructed. A linear model is developed by selecting independent variables while considering multicollinearity after performing multiple regression analyses. Machine learning-based regression methods including support vector regression, regression tree regression, k-nearest neighbors regression, random forest regression, and artificial neural network regression are used in addition to multiple linear regression. The results of the random forest regression model show that it yields the best prediction performance.

This study was performed to compare the abrasiveness and wear resistance of several restorative materials occluding enamel and gold alloy. Intact labial surface of bovine incisor and the plain portion of type III gold alloy were used as plate specimens, and pin specimens were fabricated using $Artglass^{(R)},\;Targis^{(R)},\;Sculpture^{(R)}$. After two-body wear test using pin and plate model, amount of vertical height loss of plate and pin specimens were measured and statically analyzed. The amount of vertical height loss of plate specimens against pin specimens were measured by a roughness measurement instrument. The amount of vertical height loss of pin specimens against plate specimens were measured by an image analyzing program after taking scanning electron micrographs of pin specimens. The results were as following. 1. As fir the amount of enamel wear. gold group showed least amount of wear. There was no significant difference among Sculpture, Targis and Artglass groups(p<0.05). 2. As for the amount of gold wear Sculpture group standed first and Targis and Artglass group followed respectively, and there was significant difference between Sculpture and Artglass groups(p<0.05). 3. As for the amount of restorative materials against enamel, Artglass group showed greatest, and there was no significant difference among gold. Sculpture, Targis groups(p<0.05). 4. As for the amount of restorative materials against gold, Artglass group standed first and Targis and Sculpture group followed respectively, and there was significant difference among each groups(p<0.05).

Purpose: This study aimed to develop dental alumina ceramic dressers, evaluate their abrasive wear characteristics based on particle size, and identify dental dressers with optimal particle size and performance. Methods: Commercial ceramic dressers (n=5) were selected as the control group, whereas alumina ceramic dressers with 80-grit and 120-grit particles were fabricated as the experimental groups (n=5 each). Prepared specimens were assessed for surface roughness, wear resistance, and abrasiveness against a wear-inducing element (SUS304 stainless steel ball). Means and standard deviations were calculated for each test. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis H test with Bonferroni correction (α=0.05) via SPSS Statistics ver. 23.0 (IBM). Results: Surface roughness was highest in the 80-grit group (22.734±1.308 ㎛), followed by 120-grit group (21.804±0.785 ㎛), and lowest in control group (15.782±0.223 ㎛). Wear resistance was greatest in 120-grit group (0.007±0.002 g), followed by the 80-grit group (0.007±0.004 g), and lowest in the control group (0.370±0.010 g). Furthermore, abrasiveness against the wear-inducing element (SUS304 stainless steel ball) was highest in 120-grit group (0.017±0.003 g), followed by the 80-grit group (0.015±0.003 g), and lowest in control group (0.010±0.001 g). Conclusion: Based on the combined results of surface roughness, wear resistance, and abrasiveness against a wear-inducing element, the newly developed alumina ceramic dressers show promise for clinical application.

In this study TBM disc cutter prediction models including Gehring, CSM and NTNU models were investigated and the characteristics of the models were examined. The influence of penetration, uniaxial compressive strength and abrasiveness index on the models was analyzed. The life of disc cutter linearly increases with penetration per revolution and decreases with increasing uniaxial compressive strength of rocks. As the abrasiveness index, CAI, increases, the life of disc cutter in Gehring and CSM model decreases. On the contrary, the life of disc cutter life in NTNU model decreases with increasing CLI. Also, comparisons of predicted disc life were made between models using actual job site data.

The existing compressor steel seal used in automotive air-conditioner has the problem of oil leakage and the deterioration in shielding performance, due to the abrasion and the corrosion of the material. A new type of polymer resin seal is studied in the research. The polymer resin seal has the characteristics of high anti-abrasiveness and anti-corrosiveness, which can overcome the deflects of the steel seal. In addition, the seal needs lower manufacturing cost and is appropriate to mass production, because it is made by the injection molding method requiring no mechanical processing. The profile generation program for seal mold has been developed using the gradient method, and the molding characteristics of the seal have analyzed through the flow analysis and the warpage analysis. The program has been verified by comparing the analysis results with the measured data of the test product. The research might be said to provide the basic method to produce the polymer resin seals with various types and dimensions.
