Mechanical Alloying of Ti-24Al-11Nb (AT%) Using the Simoloyer (ZOZ-Horizontal Rotary Ball Mill)

Nanocrystalline TiAl powders synthesized by high-energy ball milling: effects of milling parameters on yield and contamination

“…In contrast, low milling intensity slows the processes of alloying and attrition [4]. Recently, Zoz et al [13] demonstrated that cycling the milling between high and low intensities, using a horizontal mill, results in a relatively high yield for the Ti-Al system [13].…”

Improvement of the sinterability of thermally-treated UO2 powder by horizontal rotary ball milling

“…The operation of the mill is very simple: the material to be milled is charged into a chamber with milling media and then agitated by a rotating impeller at high speeds allowing the media to exert both shearing and impact forces on the material. In comparison to conventional vertical type attritors, this horizontal operating mill avoids dead zones caused by gravity [7]. Not only charging and operating, but also discharging can be carried out under a controlled atmosphere by means of an air-lock, guaranteeing the complete powder processing under a controlled condition, such as vacuum or inert gas.…”

Preparation of Ti+Ti6Si2B powders by high-energy ball milling and subsequent heat treatment

“…Consequently, the amount of milled powders may be decreased, and chemical and microstructural heterogeneities may be found due to preferential cold-welding of elemental powders. The breaking up of cold-welded powders by subsequent chemical or mechanical processes is extremely Intermetallics 14 (2006) [18]. In this work, we report the preparation of TiCTi 6 Si 2 B powders by high-energy ball milling and subsequent heat treatment varying the rotary speed as a function of milling time.…”

“…The highenergy ball-milling process has successfully produced various intermetallic compounds and RM alloys having high melting points [17]. However, powder mixtures containing ductile particles such as titanium, magnesium, and so on can present difficulties during ball milling behavior due to extensive coldwelding of ductile constituents onto the balls and vial surfaces [18]. Consequently, the amount of milled powders may be decreased, and chemical and microstructural heterogeneities may be found due to preferential cold-welding of elemental powders.…”
