A comparative analysis of steel and alumina balls in fine milling of ...
Fig. 2 shows the timewise evolution of the cumulative PSD experimentally obtained from the laboratory batch ball mill with different single ball sizes (, d B = 20, 30, and 40 mm) using steel balls and alumina balls. As milling progressed and finer particles were generated by breakage, the PSD shifted to the left monotonically even in the fine particle size domain (1100 μm).
