Grindability
Grindability is a material property describing how easily a material can be ground into finer particles in a grinding process. It reflects the energy, time, and throughput required to achieve a target particle size and fineness, and it can influence process design and cost.
In mineral processing, grindability is often quantified by the Bond Work Index (Wi), derived from standardized
Factors that influence grindability include hardness, mineralogy, grain size and distribution, porosity, and toughness. The presence
In manufacturing contexts, grindability informs machining and finishing efficiency and cost. It interacts with abrasive tool
Limitations: grindability is not an absolute material constant. It depends on the grinding method, target fineness,
