Grading of grains

Three grades of grain size compositions with sizes 5-10 mm, 0.5-5 mm, and below 0.5 mm (80 % were below 0.075 mm) were investigated, and the only variable was a changing amount of fine fraction [61]. It was considered that the coarse fractions form the frame of the structure, while the fine fraction fills in the cavities in the frame. On filling in the cavities in the frame, it was possible to follow the change of the frame structure to a matrix structure when the coarse particles do not contact each other but only fine particles have contact. The amounts of the finegrained fraction were 15 %, 30 %, 40 %, and 60 % in the trials.

Measurements conducted on samples, made of other grades of steel have shown that the shift of frequency characferistics of the applied signal are closely connected with sizes of crystallite grains and may be applied for the determination of parameters of the material structure. 

Sandstone. Sandstone wheels were once quarried extensively for farm and industrial use, and special grades of stone for precision honing, sharpening, and lapping are a small but important portion of today s abrasive industry. Production of honing and sharpening stones from deposits of dense, fine grain sandstone in Arkansas account for 76% of the value (about 2 million in 1987) and 88% of the total quantity of such stones in the United States (4). 

High purity 50% ferrosihcon containing <0.1% Al and C is used for production of stainless steel and corded wire for tires, where residual aluminum can cause harm fill alumina-type inclusions. These are also useflil in continuous cast heats, where control of aluminum is necessary. High purity grades of 50 and 75% ferrosihcon containing low levels of aluminum, calcium, and titanium are used for sihcon additions to grain-oriented electrical steels, where low residual aluminum content contributes to the attainment of desired electrical properties, eg, significant reduction of eddy currents.

The San Rafael tin mine is one of the richest ore mine in the world, with a head grade of about 5% Sn. The mine actually started in the 1960s as a copper operation, and later tin was discovered and the operation started as a tin operation. The ore is coarse grained, and a portion of the tin was recovered at a relatively coarse-grind size (i.e. 8 mm size). The main gangue minerals found in this ore were silicates, pyrite, pyrrhotite, tourmaline and minor amounts of copper and silver.
