6.4 Factors with an impact on grinding
6.4.1 Running time (grinding duration)
A longer grinding time will increase the percentage of fine material. To
reduce the grinding time, you can use a grinding bowl and grinding balls
with a higher density, and thus a higher impact energy.
6.4.2 Speed
Higher speeds shorten the grinding time and increase the share of fine
particles.
6.4.3 Reverse mode
n Useful for mechanical alloying
n Improvement of the homogeneity of the sample
6.4.4 Number and size of the balls
Pre-grind course, hard material with large balls:
reduced percentage of fine material!
Many small balls increase the percentage of fine material during
extended running time.
