Read MoreThe cost of the raw material per one piece is given by this formula: In the previous example, assuming 0,7 Euro per kg as the Material cost per kg, and density of steel 7,8 kg/dm3 we obtain: RAW MATERIAL COST = 7 * 5 * 0,01 * 7,8 * 0,7 = 1,91 Euro. This procedure has to be repeated with each of the raw materials entering the process.

An estimated consumption of steel grinding media of around 600,000 tons p.a. in the 1980s already gives an indication of the scale of the problem ( Malghan, 1982).
