Grizzly Screens These consist of a set of parallel bars held apart by spacers at some predetermined opening. Bars are frequently made of manganese steel to reduce wear. A grizzly is widely used before a primaiy crusher in rock- or ore-crushing plants to remove the fines before the ore or rock enters the crusher. It can be a stationaiy set of bars or a vibrating screen. 

Liner wear increases with the size, hardness, and sharpness of feed more than with ball size. The hardness of manganese steel corresponds to softer types of ore, while Nihard is about the same as magnetite [Moore et al.. International J. of Mineral Proce.s.sing, 22, 313-343 (1983)]. Quartz and pyrite are considerablv harder than any metals used. Rubber, being resihent, is less affected by ore hardness, and therefore has the advantage with harder ores. Low-charge volume below 35 percent results in increased wear since the liners are not protected bv a covering of ore. Several studies indicate that wear increases at least proportional to the square of mill speed in percent of critical. 

Grinding Abrasion. The suitable alloys range from austenitic manganese steel (which once dominated the field) through hardenable carbon and medium alloy steels to the abrasion-resistant cast irons.

Contamination is a problem one always faces in trace analysis. Mercury is ubiquitous in many laboratories, as is fluoride. Lead is present in dust, particularly in laboratories located close to heavy automobile traffic. Extreme caution must always be exercised as contamination on the trace level may come from unexpected sources. Table I shows that using manganese steel in the jaws used to crush the coal increased the manganese content of the crushed coal more than twofold. 

Metallic manganese has no use by itself. But add up to 15 per cent of it to steel and the result is an alloy — manganese steel — so hard that it is suitable for machine parts that are exposed to a lot of rough wear. 

A steel qualilies as an alloy steel when the manganese specified is within the limits of 1.65-2.10 7. Manganese is of major importance in increasing hardenabilily—the depth of hardness penetration after quenching. Thirteen percent manganese steel is widely used us a wear-resistant steel. 

Sulfur. This element is detrimental to surface quality, but bcnelicial to machinability, particularly in low-carbon and low-manganese steels. Sulfur decreases transverse ductility and impact resistance, but has only a small effect on longitudinal properties. As sulfur content increases, weldability decreases. Sulfur is added to the extent of 0 2-0.4 7 in free-cutting steels to improve machinabilily.

On the surface of manganese steel, the impact of the explosive layer onto the steel surface results in hardening the only objective of this process is that it enables repair work to be carried out on railway tracks in remote regions, and there is no need to convey the defective parts over long distances. In densely populated areas, forming explosions are difficult to perform.
