BHP IRON ORE (Case Study)

Excessive component wear after BHP Iron Ore commenced operations in 1969 formed the basis of a research program initiated with BHP Melbourne Research Laboratories in 1972. In 2000, the relationship continues with the BHP Institute of Railway Technology at Monash University (now IRT).
