BACKGROUND Belt or wire shaped TiO2(B) particles were synthesized for lithium ion battery application by a hydrothermal and heat treatment process. In order to facilitate TiO2(B)/C composites fabrication, the synthesized TiO2(B) particles were crushed into smaller sizes by ball milling. RESULTS Ball mill treated TiO2(B) particles of less than 1.0 μm with a fraction of anatase phase, compared ...

The continuing increase in packing density of VLSI circuits requires that the inspection process be completely automated. This paper suggests a new method for automatic inspection of that part of the wire bond where the wire connects to the bond pad on the chip. A popular type of bonding (connected to bond pad) known as “ball bond” is considered here. Although several approaches for ball bond i...

This paper presents a detailed manufacturing model that can be used for grinding a ball-end mill using 5-axis CNC (computer numerical controlled) grinding machine. The profile of the helical groove can be calculated exactly using the given wheel profile and relative movements between the workpiece and the grinding wheel. The proposed model is related to some analytical, differential geometry an...

Powderous crystalline materials of the composition Fe3−xMnxC have been prepared by first synthesizing Fe3C via mechanical alloying in a planetary mill followed by the addition of elemental manganese and arc-plasma melting or via the classic ceramic route in an electric furnace. The milling time for the synthesis of Fe3C was significantly reduced through adjusting the parameters of the planetary...

Oil palm biomass, namely empty fruit bunch and frond fiber, were pretreated using a planetary ball mill. Particle sizes and crystallinity index values of the oil palm biomass were significantly reduced with extended ball mill processing time. The treatment efficiency was evaluated by the generation of glucose, xylose, and total sugar conversion yields from the pretreatment process compared to t...

The parameters of mill load (ML) not only represent the load of the ball mill, but also determine the grinding production ratio (GPR) of the grinding process. In this paper, a novel soft sensor approach based on multi-spectral segments partial least square (PLS) model and on-line adaptive weighted fusion algorithm is proposed to estimate the ML parameters. At first, frequency spectrums of the s...

The process of ball milling and the materials that compose planetary mills are highly complex, existing research on change in ball-milling energy is not mature. theoretical model a mill was established for first time to simulate motion, collision process, transfer, temperature small balls during process. Furthermore, by comparing information with experimental data mill, motion trajectory grindi...

High energy ball mills are used to grind powder material down to a particle size below one micron. Up to now, the detailed physical mechanisms of the grinding process inside the mill have not been fully understood. Hence, the design of these mills as well as their process parameters is based on empirical results. The ball mill has been simulated by discrete event simulation (DES) using typical ...
