Temperature of the milling balls in shaker and planetary mills
The temperature increase of the milling balls in two laboratory mills, frequently used for mechanical alloying and mechanochemical experiments, was studied using direct calorimetric measurements. The ball temperature remains below 100 °C in a SPEX 8000 shaker mill and it is cooler when flatended rather than roundended vial is used, although the milling intensity, as measured by the ...
