High Energy Ball Mills for Nano-Scale Grinding. There are basically two methods of producing nano-scale particles: the “Bottom-Up” technique involves synthesizing the particles from atoms and molecules. With the “Top-Down” method the particles are reduced to nanometer size by grinding. Suitable tools for this method are planetary ball
High energy ball milling was used to promote the solubilization of iron into NiAl powder for an iron concentration range of 10–30 wt.% by Principi et al. . Increasing the time and the speed of milling gave rise to a non-resolved doublet, having parameters typical of a NiAl compound with Fe atoms in solution.
The high energy of these mills is derived from the very high rotation speeds that are achievable. For example, Salimon et al. used their planetary ball mill at a rotation speed of 1235 rpm corresponding to the mill energy intensity of 50 W/g. It has been reported that some of these mills can be used at rotation speeds greater than 2000 rpm.

A ball mill also known as pebble mill or tumbling mill is a milling machine that consists of a hallow cylinder containing balls; mounted on a metallic frame such that it can be rotated along its longitudinal axis. The balls which could be of different diameter occupy 30 – 50 % of the mill volume and its size depends on the feed and mill size.
This quantity is small compared to the power used by a semi-autogenous mill and a ball mill in a primary grinding circuit; a ball mill can have an installed power of up to 15 MW, while installed power for a SAG mill can go up to 25 MW. However, the energy used for fine grinding is still significant.
