Parameters optimization in the planetary ball milling of nanostructured tungsten carbide/cobalt powder

Nanostructured Fly Ash as Reinforcement in a Plastomer-Based Composite: A New Strategy in Value Addition to Thermal Power Station Fly Ash

“…The second is that the surfactant can reduce the viscosity of the slurry of powder mixture. It was found that the grinding rate decreased with the increase of either viscosity or surface tension of the milling medium [15]. Thus, the grain size or the particle size reduction effect in the wet milling may result from both these mechanisms.…”

“…Some researchers reported that the surface tension of the milling medium could enhance the milling efficiency. For example, it was found that the surfactant can speed up the crack spreading and particle size reduction in the ball milling of calcite [15]. There are two mechanisms for the effect of the surfactant in the ball milling.…”

Particle Size Distribution of Nanoscale Ulexite Mineral Prepared by Ball Milling

“…Among them, ball milling method is one of the popular ones especially in terms of cost (Alizadeh, Sharifianjazi, Haghshenasjazi, Aghakhani, & Rajabi, 2015). However, in this method, grinding parameters such as the milling time, ball to powder mass ratio (BPR), process control agent (PCA), size of the ball, initial feed size, size of the vial, rotation speed, atmosphere of mill are very important (Abdellahi, Bahmanpour, & Bahmanpour, 2014;Zhang, Zhu, & Wang, 2008). Kutuk investigated that the particle size of the ulexite mineral was reduced to submicron (<1 μm) size using the ball milling method.…”

Nanocrystalline tungsten–nickel heavy alloy reinforced by in-situ tungsten carbide: Mechanical alloying preparation and microstructural evolution

“…Nanomaterials demonstrate unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, as relative to the corresponding conventional coarse-grained materials. Nanocrystalline materials can be synthesized by a number of methods including mechanical alloying (MA) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. High-energy MA, as a typical powder metallurgy process, involves the repeated fracturing, cold-welding, and re-fracturing of powder particles in a high-energy ball mill.…”
