Title:	The Influence of the Parameter "Temperature" on the Abrasiveness of Rock
Abstract:	The article deals with the influence of temperature produced in the cutting process on rock abrasiveness and tool wear. Basically it was to clarify which effects take place when quartz or rock with significant quartz content is heated up to a certain temperature. Does the quartz jump from low into high quartz happening at 573 °C cause an increase in abrasiveness of mineral and rock or not? To find out, a certain number of Cerchar abrasiveness index tests were done for a detailed investigation of this topic. Additionally, to get a better understanding what really happens inside rock structure additionally other rock parameters like unconfined compressive strength, Brazilian tensile strength, ultrasonic wave velocity and density were determined on untreated and heated and subsequently cooled down rock samples. The final output of the research work showed that rocks show a very specific and significant reaction to thermal stresses induced into their structure resulting in a different behaviour regarding abrasiveness and fracturing.
