Manufacturing of aluminum flake powder from foil scrap by dry ball milling process

Corrosion and mechanical properties of polyurethane/Al composite coatings with low infrared emissivity

“…Aluminum (Al) flake powder is widely used in fingerprint detection, aerated light-weight concrete, paint component for automobile and industrial applications, additive for ink, and explosives, because Al flake powder has silver color, high brightness and good adherence [10]. Al coatings are interesting candidates for the cathodic protection of construction steel due to their good corrosion resistance in aggressive media [11].…”

Preparation of leafing Cu and its application in low infrared emissivity coatings

“…Generally speaking, ball milling method is used mainly in the preparation of powders with a certain size or shape (flake), thus many researches have focused on the investigation of the effect of ball milling related factors on the particle size or shape [13]. Actually the ball milling process may also affect the leafing property of powders, but there is little report dealing with these.…”

Flake Particle Synthesis from Ductile Metal Particles Using a Novel High-speed Vibratory Mill

“…Needs for flake particles var y across a variety of applications such as: pigments and inks, electrochemical electrodes, fuel cell hydrogen storage devices, explosives, lightweight concretes and obscurences [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Properties of flake-shaped particles have growing interests in the chemical and material industries, which continuously demand for increased efficiency in their processes.…”

“…Processes for the production of flake-shaped particles are relatively new and have yet to be extensively studied and mastered. Conventional methods for flake particle synthesis are attritor milling, vibratory ball milling, ball milling and wet milling 1,2,9) . Attritor mills generally refer to the use of a stirring rod and pin to agitate a solution of grinding media and the target particles.…”

“…SPEX model 8000 12) ). Ball milling methods typically require lubricants and anticoagulants such as stearic or oleic acid and/or mineral spirits to control the shape and quality of the product flake 1,2) . These reagents are incompatible when reactive metals such as Al, Fe, Mg, and Cu must remain in their elemental form and can possibly react with the reagents during milling, especially when high energy transfers are present.…”
