Both fine and coarse particles were produced during a shot of glass beads. The fracture behavior of the coarse particles was investigated by using the beads which have a size range of from 1.41 to 1.68mm.
The beads were projected at various speeds in a shot life tester, and fractured beads were classified into fine and coarse particle groups with two standard screens of 1.41 and 0.59mm. The coarse particles were reprojected until they became fine particles less than 0.59mm in diamter. Measuring of the whole weight and a particle size distribution of the coarse particles was made at each projection.
The obtained results were as follows:
1) Some of beads were not fractured though beads were subjected to a number of projections, however, after an onset of fracture these numbers of proiections did not affect the fracture behavior of the coarse particles.
2) Relationship between a residue weight of the coarse particles and the projection number was given by a straight line on the Weibll's chart.
3) The ratio of the residue weight to the whole weight of the coarse particles and crushed weight were expressed as a function of the projection number.
