Abstract
The experimental determination of impact velocities in ball mills, from the indent size, is discussed. Velocities were determined for a new high capacity mill (2.6 to 3.8 m/s) and were found to be strongly dependent on ball size. An evaluation of the maximum specific energy available in such a mill for the synthesis of nanophase materials is given (20–50 kWh/Kg).
