The research team formulated a workable analytical abrasion model that relates critical rotary shear process parameters (shear geometry and rotational speed) to critical material attributes of inorganic mineral species in feedstock (density, size, and aspect ratio) and substrate (hardness and elastic modulus) that enabled us to model the wear of shear cutters in a rotary shear milling system developed by Forest Concepts. We compared results of the model to experimental observations of the shape of rotary shear cutters used in a Forest Concept Crumbler® shear mill. Results showed good agreement between the predicted and measured shape of a worn cutter; thus, a quality-by-design (QbD) approach can be developed to predict component reliability based on scientific engineering principles in lieu of trial-and-error approaches.
