Chapter 17. Processing of Metal Powders
Figure 17.6 Methods of mechanical comminution to obtain fine particles: (a) roll crushing, (b) ball mill, and (c) hammer milling. F. Mechanical alloying. 9 Powders of two or more metals are mixed in a ball mill (see fig. 17.7). 9 Under the impact of hard balls, the powders fracture and bond together by diffusion, forming alloy powders.
