An Innovative Review on the Oscillating Drum Ball Milling Process
摘要
In the present scenarios, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have been mixed under the action of ball milling operations. Generally, the ball milling processes have been implemented by either rotation or reciprocating of the mixing drum. In a rotating type mixing drum, the spherical steel or ceramic balls rotate inside the cylinder under the action of centrifugal forces and generate the problem of sticking the materials on the inner circular wall sections. The problem with the reciprocating mixing drum is that the spherical balls are sedimented in the solution under the action of gravity force. In both cases, the non-uniform and heterogeneous phases of slurry have been observed. The main objective of this research work is to eliminate these critical issues through the concept of kinematics and mechanism, named as oscillating drum ball milling process.
