Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. 1. Scope* 1.1 This test method was developed for ranking the highstress abrasion resistance of cemented carbides, but it has been successfully used on ceramics, cermets, and metal matrix hardfacings with a hardness over 55 Rockwell hardness, C scale (HRC). The feature of this test method that discriminates it from other abrasion tests is that the abrasive is forced against the test specimen with a steel wheel with sufficient force to cause fracture of the abrasive particles. Some abrasion tests use rubber wheels to force abrasive against test surfaces (Test Methods G65 and G105). A rubber wheel produces low-stress abrasion while a steel wheel produces high-stress abrasion. 2.

Terminology 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. 1.3.1 Exceptions—Subsection 4.4 and Table 1 use abrasive grit designations for particle size. The value given in parentheses is nominal dimension in micrometers based on sieve designation (Specification E11) and provided for information only. Subsection 6.2 uses the Rockwell hardness, B scale (HRB) as the standard unit of measure for hardness. In 6.4, 7.6, 7.7, and Table 1, rpm is the standard unit of measure for rotational speed. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the 3.1 Definitions: For definitions of terms found in this test method, please refer to Terminology Standard G40. 3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard: 3.2.1 abrasive wear, n—wear due to hard particles or hard protuberances forced against and moving along a solid surface. 3.2.2 high-stress abrasion, n—progressive material removal from a hard solid surface by the action of hard particles rolling or sliding on that surface with sufficient force to cause fracture of the particles. 3.2.3 slurry, n—a suspension of solid material in liquid. 4.

Apparatus travel through the wheel/test specimen contact. The test metric is the volume of material worn from the test specimen in specified test duration and under specified test conditions. 6.1 General Description—Fig. 1 is a schematic of the test rig. The test specimen (a) contacts a steel wheel (b) on its centerline; the water/grit slurry (c) is held in a slurry vessel; vanes (d) are on both sides of the steel wheel agitate the slurry. The vanes on the abrading wheel can be integral with the steel wheel, or they can be made from steel, aluminum or brass angle and attached to the wheel with fasteners. The agitating vanes can be slightly curved or flat. The length of the vanes can be from 3 mm to 13 mm. The vanes must have a minimum clearance of 3 mm on a side between the vanes and the vessel. They can be staggered so that the vanes on one side make an angle of 45° with the vanes on the other side. The normal load (force) is applied by a mass (e) that is constant throughout the test. The slurry can be replenished if needed, since slurry may splash out of uncovered machines during the test. The test duration and wheel rotational speed are fixed for the test. 4.3 The test specimen is weighed to determine mass loss, which is converted to a volume loss using the density of the test material. 4.4 The slurry used in the test is composed of a specified mass of 30 grit (600 µm) aluminum oxide in a specified volume of water. 4.5 There may be a corrosion component to the material removal, but it is considered to be negligible since the test duration is only 10 min or 20 min. 5. Significance and Use 5.1 The extraction of minerals from the Earth’s crust usually requires fracturing rock with tools made from metals, which have been clad, overlaid, or coated in some fashion with high hardness or wear-resistant materials, or both. Drilling, crushing, and moving rock involves high-stress abrasion on the surfaces that contact the rock. The stresses are high enough to crush or fracture the rock. This test method simulates this condition, and it is used to screen new materials for these types of applications. It can also be used as a quality control tool for materials destined for high-stress abrasion applications: slurry pumps, comminution equipment, recycling choppers, demolition equipment, etc. 6.2 Abrading Wheel—The wheel is made from AISI 1020 steel (80 HRB to 95 HRB); the outside diameter is 169 mm 6 0.1 mm when new, and the wheel shall be discarded when its diameter wears below 165 mm. The steel wheel has a contact surface roughness of 0.5 µm to 0.8 µm (arithmetic surface roughness, Ra) as manufactured. A burr develops during use. It should not be removed. The wheel is not dressed between uses. After use, the surface becomes impregnated with alumina particles, and it has the appearance of a sand-blasted surface. Four agitating vanes are attached at 90° increments on both sides of the wheel. The vanes must have a minimum radial clearance of 3 mm with the test specimen when the wheel penetrates the test specimen to produce a wear scar (the vanes must not contact the specimen during testing). The wheel width is 12.7 mm 6 0.1 mm. 5.2 Most abrasion tests use low-stress abrasion. The abrasive stays relatively intact during testing. High-stress abrasion simulates applications where the force between an abrasive substance and a tool/component will be high enough to crush the abrasive. If this describes an application under study, then this may be an appropriate test method to use. NOTE 1—“a” is the test specimen; “b” is the steel wheel; “c” is the test slurry; “d” are vanes. The mass producing the normal force is “e.” FIG. 1 Schematic of Test Rig 2 &RS\ULJKWE\$670,QW O DOOULJKWVUHVHUYHG 7KX-XQ87& 'RZQORDGHGSULQWHGE\ 8QLYHUVLGDG,QGXVWULDOGH6DQWDQGHUSXUVXDQWWR/LFHQVH$JUHHPHQW1RIXUWKHUUHSURGXFWLRQVDXWKRUL]HG B611 − 21 6.6 Slurry Vessel—The internal dimensions of the vessel that contains the slurry are shown in Fig. 3. All dimensions are in millimeters. The vessel can be made from metals or plastic and corrosion-resistant materials are preferred. In this design, a flat panel is fastened and sealed to the chamber shown to complete the vessel. Cutout “a” is an option clearance for the specimen pivot. Some test rigs do not need the spindle hole because the vessel clamps to a faceplate containing the wheel spindle. The slurry must be replaced for every test so a drain or other way of removing the slurry is advisable. 7. Procedure 7.1 Specimen Preparation—The test surface of the test specimen should be flat and not contain errors of form (ridges, waves, bumps, etc.) greater than 2.0 µm. A test specimen can be tested on the front and backside as long as the holder references the specimen from the unworn surface. 7.2 Specimen Cleaning—Test specimens should be degreased with a solvent that does not attack the test surface or leave a film. Ultrasonic cleaning for a duration from 30 s to 90 s in acetone has been found to be adequate for most metals and cermets. 7.3 Specimen Weighing—Weigh the test specimen to 60.001 g three times and take the average weight as the starting weight. Ferrous materials should be demagnetized before testing. FIG. 2 Test Specimen Dimensions 7.4 Specimen Mounting—Affix the specimen in the loading arm without touching the test surface. The centerline of the test specimen should be in line with the centerline of the wheel. Apply the testing normal force by placing a mass on the specimen arm such that it develops a 200 N force pushing the test specimen against the wheel. 6.3 Test Specimen—The test specimen dimensions are shown in Fig. 2. All dimensions are in millimeters. The test surfaces should have an arithmetic surface roughness (Ra) less than 1 µm. Test specimen surfaces “a” and “b” must be flat and parallel within 0.01 mm. Chamfered edges are recommended. 6.4 Drive Motor—A 1 hp motor with a gear reduction unit has been found suitable for use, but other motors (hydraulic or DC motors, etc.) could be used if they have the torque requirements to rotate the wheel with a 200 N “braking” force applied to the outside diameter. The wheel can be directly mounted to the drive or it can be mounted on a spindle which is driven by a motor. Whatever the mechanism, the radial runout of the wheel shall be less than 60.01 mm and widthwise runout shall be less than 60.05 mm. The motor speed shall be controlled to the specified rpm 6 2 rpm. 7.5 Slurry Preparation—Pour the 30-grit abrasive into the slurry vessel with the test specimen in place and loaded against the wheel. The level of the grit should be 25 mm to 30 mm below the wheel centerline. Determine the weight of grit used to fill the vessel by pouring the grit from a container that is weighed, reweighed when filled, and reweighed again after filling. The slurry is to have an abrasive/water ratio of 4 g of grit for every milliliter of water. For example, if it took 100 g of abrasive to fill the hopper to the required level (25 mm to 30 mm below centerline) then 25 mL of water must be added. Distilled water should be added to the vessel as wheel rotation commences. A fresh slurry is required for every test. NOTE 1—While some standards that conform to metric practice use seconds as the basic unit for time and radians per second for rotational speed, rpm is used here to mean revolutions per minute of the wheel, a parameter which is historically used when conducting and documenting tests of this kind. 7.6 Start Wheel Rotation After Loading and Slurry Filling— The wheel speed shall be 50 rpm or 100 rpm under load depending on the procedure used. Wheel revolutions shall be continuously recorded. 6.5 Specimen Holder—The centerline of the pivoting specimen holder should be aligned with the tangent point of the system with a new wheel. The sideways movement of the holder should be less than 0.2 mm and it should be designed to place the wear scar in the center of the test specimen. Subsized test specimens can be held in special holders that allow the flat face of the test specimen in full wheel contact. If the wear scar runs into the holding device, the test specimen should be considered inadequate in size for testing with the standard procedure. 7.7 Test Duration—The test duration shall be: (1) Procedure A—1000 revolutions at 100 rpm (10 min) (2) Procedure B—1000 revolutions at 50 rpm (20 min) 7.8 Slurry Make-Up—The slurry is properly formulated and at the correct level when the grit is visibly carried up by the wheel and there is a crushing sound coming from the wheel/ specimen contact. If grit is not carried up with the wheel, add 3 &RS\ULJKWE\$670,QW O DOOULJKWVUHVHUYHG 7KX-XQ87& 'RZQORDGHGSULQWHGE\ 8QLYHUVLGDG,QGXVWULDOGH6DQWDQGHUSXUVXDQWWR/LFHQVH$JUHHPHQW1RIXUWKHUUHSURGXFWLRQVDXWKRUL]HG B611 − 21 FIG. 3 Slurry Vessel 9. Precision and Bias more grit or remove slurry until grit is seen carrying up from the specimen/wheel contact. 9.1 Precision—Hard materials usually exhibit very uniform wear scars in this test method. However, there is not a defined absolute wear volume for all materials under high stress abrasion conditions or for this test method. 7.9 Weigh Specimen After Testing—The test specimen and vessel should be water rinsed to remove any grit and dried. Weigh the worn specimen to 60.001 g as in 7.3 and calculate the specimen mass loss. 9.2 Repeatability and Reproducibility—Table 1 shows typical test data on two different cemented carbides tested: Material A and Material B, and five replicate tests were conducted on each material. Abbreviations AVE, SD, and COV refer to average, standard deviation and coefficient of variation, respectively. The coefficients of variation ranged from 2 % to 4 %. 8. Report 8.1 Specimen Identification—Report the specimen identification number along with other information that should accompany the identifier, such as additional treatments, coatings, etc. 8.2 Wear Volume—State the density of the test material, and use that density to calculate wear volume in cubic millimeters. 9.3 Bias—Potential sources for bias in this test method include: (1) Specimen holder not perfectly parallel with the face of the wheel. (2) Wheel rounding/grooving. (3) Excessive wheel wear. (4) Improper slurry uptake. (5) Off-analysis slurry. 8.3 Test Conditions—Summarize the test conditions used: wheel diameter (start and finish), normal force, wheel speed, test duration (revolutions), and test slurry details. 8.4 Number of Replicates—State the number of replicates and report the average wear volume of the replicates as the test metric. 4 &RS\ULJKWE\$670,QW O DOOULJKWVUHVHUYHG 7KX-XQ87& 'RZQORDGHGSULQWHGE\ 8QLYHUVLGDG,QGXVWULDOGH6DQWDQGHUSXUVXDQWWR/LFHQVH$JUHHPHQW1RIXUWKHUUHSURGXFWLRQVDXWKRUL]HG B611 − 21 TABLE 1 Example of Test Results A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 Specimen Mass Before Test (g) 117.273 117.180 117.424 117.165 117.331 Specimen Mass After Test (g) 114.810 114.708 114.897 114.755 114.921 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 111.837 111.724 111.784 112.269 111.442 107.125 106.984 107.397 107.918 106.988 Specimen ID Test Conditions: Wheel Speed: Force: Duration: Media: Material: Mass Loss (g) Density (g/cm3) Volume Loss (mm3) 2.463 2.472 2.527 2.410 2.410 14.49 14.50 14.48 14.48 14.48 AVE = SD = COV (SD/AVE) = 13.92 13.93 13.92 13.93 13.92 AVE = SD = COV (SD/AVE) = 169.98 170.48 174.52 166.44 166.44 169.57 3.36 0.02 338.48 340.26 315.19 312.30 319.98 325.24 13.20 0.04 4.712 4.740 4.387 4.350 4.454 100 rpm 200 N 10 min 30 grit (600 µm) aluminum oxide both A and B are cemented carbides (6) Vibration of the specimen or some machine component.

Keywords 10.1 abrasion; abrasion testing; cemented carbides; ceramics; high-stress abrasion; slurry SUMMARY OF CHANGES (5) Subsection 3.1—The word “standard” was added and sentence was corrected to “Terminology Standard G40”. (6) Subsection 4.4—The nominal particle size in micrometers based on sieve designation was provided in parentheses: “30 grit (600 µm)”. (7) Subsection 4.5—The word “time” was replaced with “duration,” and the words “ten” and “twenty” were replaced with corresponding numbers, conversion to seconds was removed. All changes with the aim of maintaining consistency with Section 7. (8) Subsection 5.1—“The extraction of minerals from the Earth’s mantle usually requires fracturing rock...”, the word “mantle” was replaced with “crust,” since minerals and ores are extracted from the Earth’s crust. (9) Subsection 5.1—“...fracturing rock with tools made from metals, but clad, overlaid, or covered in some fashion with hard materials.” was replaced with “...fracturing rock with tools made from metals, which have been clad, overlaid, or coated in some fashion with hard high hardness or wear-resistant materials, or both.” The addition of “wear resistant” was to minimize the misconception of high hardness equals high wear resistance. (10) Sections 6 and 7—All instances of the word “millimetre” were replaced with “millimeter”. The word “millilitre” was also replaced with “milliliter”. (1) Subsections 1.1 (Scope) and 2.1 (Referenced Documents, ASTM Standards)—References to Test Method G75 were removed. Rationale—Since Test Method G75 is developed for measuring slurry abrasivity and involves a reciprocating lap in a slurry environment, and it does not involve a rotating rubber wheel as is implied by the wording of 1.1. (2) Subsection 1.3—The statement “No other units of measurement are included in this standard.” was removed and Subsection 1.3.1 was added for exceptions: “1.3.1 Exceptions—Subsection 4.4 and Table 1 use abrasive grit designations for particle size. The value given in parentheses is nominal dimension in micrometers based on sieve designation (Specification E11) and provided for information only. Subsection 6.2 uses the Rockwell hardness, B scale (HRB) as the standard unit of measure for hardness. In 6.4, 7.6, 7.7, and Table 1, rpm is the standard unit of measure for rotational speed.” (3) Subsection 2.1 (ASTM Standards)—Specification E11 was added in accordance with 1.3.1, and Test Method G75 was removed as noted above. (4) Subsection 2.2 (American National Standard)—“ANSI B74.12 Specification for the Size of Abrasive Grain - Grinding Wheels, Polishing and General Industrial Uses” was added in accordance with 1.3.1. 5 &RS\ULJKWE\$670,QW O DOOULJKWVUHVHUYHG 7KX-XQ87& 'RZQORDGHGSULQWHGE\ 8QLYHUVLGDG,QGXVWULDOGH6DQWDQGHUSXUVXDQWWR/LFHQVH$JUHHPHQW1RIXUWKHUUHSURGXFWLRQVDXWKRUL]HG B611 − 21 (22) Fig. 3, Note 1—Removed, and the contents transferred to the main text (Subsection 6.6). (23) Subsection 7.2—“a time from 30 to 90 s” was replaced with “a duration from 30 s to 90 s”. (24) Subsection 7.5—“25/30 mm below centerline” was changed to “25 mm to 30 mm below centerline” to maintain consistency. (25) Subsection 7.9—The word “Sample” was replaced with “Specimen”. (26) Subsection 9.2, Lines 1–2—“Table 1 shows typical test data on two different cemented carbides.” was changed to “Table 1 shows typical test data on two different cemented carbides tested: Material A and Material B, and five replicate tests were conducted on each material.” (27) Subsection 9.2—The following sentence was removed as to our knowledge, this Round Robin has not been performed: “Collaborators for interlaboratory tests for reproducibility will be sought with a target date for interlaboratory tests on one material of June 2015.” (28) Subsection 9.3—Item 9, “Wrong grit alumina” was changed to “Wrong particle size of alumina”. (29) Subsection 9.3—Item 11, “surface contamination” was changed to “specimen surface contamination” to eliminate confusion of which surface this referred to (specimen or wheel). (30) Table 1—Note 1 was removed, and the contents transferred to the main text—Row 1, Column 1. The word “Sample ID” was replaced with “Specimen ID”. (31) Table 1, Test Conditions—“RPM” was replaced with “Wheel speed” and the unit “rpm” was moved to follow the corresponding value (that is, 100 rpm). (32) Table 1—Instances of “average and “Avg”, referring to the mean, were replaced with “AVE”, and instances of “S” or “s”, referring to standard deviation, were replaced with “SD”. The parameters were described in the text, Subsection 9.2: “Abbreviations AVE, SD, and COV refer to average, standard deviation and coefficient of variation, respectively.” (33) Table 1, Row 1—Parameters “L” and “D” were removed as they are not used in this test method. (34) Table 1—The coefficient of variation was rounded from “0.019” to “0.02” for A samples; for B samples, the average volume loss for B samples was incorrect, and got corrected. (35) Table 1, Precision of Mass Measurements—Results in Table 1 were reported to a precision of 0.0001 g, but Subsections 7.3 and 7.9 specify the weight to be reported to 60.001 g. The precision of mass measurements in Table 1 were, therefore, changed to reflect the capabilities of the measuring instrument (three decimal places) and not imply a finer precision than exists. (36) Table 1—Footnote A was removed from the table to eliminate confusion; there were no references for “Wear number, W” and “Abrasion resistance, A” in this test method. (11) Subsection 6.1, Line 3—These sentences were added: “The agitating vanes can be slightly curved or flat. The length of the vanes can be from 3 mm to 13 mm. The vanes must have a minimum clearance of 3 mm on a side between the vanes and the vessel. They can be staggered so that the vanes on one side make an angle of 45° with the vanes on the other side.”; also, the word “normal” was added to the sentence “The normal load (force) is applied by a mass...”. (12) Subsection 6.2—The recommended roughness of the outer diameter of a new wheel was added; “The steel wheel has a contact surface roughness of 0.5 µm to 0.8 µm (arithmetic surface roughness, Ra) as manufactured.”; also added: “After use, the surface becomes impregnated with alumina particles, and it has the appearance of a sand-blasted surface.”; in this section, the word “sample” was replaced with “specimen”. (13) Subsection 6.3 (Test Specimen)—Specimen specifications were removed from Fig. 2, Note 1 and added to Subsection 6.3: “The test specimen dimensions are shown in Fig. 2. All dimensions are in millimeters. The test surfaces should have an arithmetic surface roughness (Ra) less than 1 µm. Test specimen surfaces “a” and “b” must be flat and parallel within 0.01 mm. Chamfered edges are recommended.”. The lower limit of roughness (0.1 µm) was removed. (14) Subsection 6.4—Note 1 was added with regards to the choice of rpm unit of measure for wheel speed: “Note 1—While some standards that conform to metric practice use seconds as the basic unit for time and radians per second for rotational speed, rpm is used here to mean revolutions per minute of the wheel, a parameter which is historically used when conducting and documenting tests of this kind.” (15) Fig. 1, Note 1—Edited to only include introduction of parameters used in the schematic. The contents of Note 1 was moved to the corresponding sequence in main text (Subsection 6.1). (16) Fig. 2—Figure size changed from (8.66 in. × 6.82 in.), which occupied the entire page, to (4 in. × 3.25 in.). (17) Fig. 2, Note 1—Removed, and the contents moved to the main text. (18) Subsection 6.5, Lines 5–7—“Subsized test specimens can be held in special holders that allow the flat face of the test specimen in full wheel contact.” The article “in” was added to make the sentence read better. (19) Subsection 6.6, Line 1—This sentence was added: “All dimensions are in millimeters.” (20) Subsection 6.6—These sentences were removed from Fig. 3, Note 1, and added to the corresponding section in Subsection 6.6: “In this design, a flat panel is fastened and sealed to the chamber shown to complete the vessel. Cutout “a” is an option clearance for the specimen pivot. Some test rigs do not need the spindle hole because the vessel clamps to a faceplate containing the wheel spindle.” (21) Fig. 3—The dimensions on drawing were in inches and required conversion to metric: 85/120=18.0mm, 100/ 120=21.2mm, 35/66=13.5mm, 50/130=9.8mm. 6 &RS\ULJKWE\$670,QW O DOOULJKWVUHVHUYHG 7KX-XQ87& 'RZQORDGHGSULQWHGE\ 8QLYHUVLGDG,QGXVWULDOGH6DQWDQGHUSXUVXDQWWR/LFHQVH$JUHHPHQW1RIXUWKHUUHSURGXFWLRQVDXWKRUL]HG B611 − 21 ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentioned in this standard.
