Pall milling is an importanttechnique in powder processing of ceramics. Although small balls as grind ing medium in ball milling give fine powder, the grind ing performance depends on many other milling condi tions, such as combination of ball size, rotation speed and packing volume of balls. In this paper, particle size reduction rate of alumina was studied with respect to the combination of TZP (Tetragonal Zirco nia Polycrystals) ball size and rotation speed. The TZP balls with a geometrical standard deviation of 1.7in log-normal ball size distribution gave the highest rela tive density and the highest particle-size reduction rate. The particle-size reduction rate increased with in creasing rotation speed under the conditions studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
