Abstract:Cerchar abrasivity index (CAI) test is widely used for determining the abrasivity of rocks. This test is applied to estimate bit life and determine the wear in various mining and tunneling machines. The results of tests in different laboratories have been showing some variations depending on type of test apparatus (classic or West) and tested specimen surface conditions. In this study, the effects of these factors on CAI tests were investigated. In this context, CAI tests were performed using two separate test… Show more
