Producing Metal Powder from Machining Chips Using Ball Milling Process ...
The balls (Ø 20 mm) reduce the machining chips to a coarse powder. Then balls (Ø 6 mm) formed spherical morphology in the powders with particle sizes ranging from 38 μm to 150 μm (60 h). The ballmilled powder produced from machining chips has a 56% greater hardness than the gasatomized powder.
