The study of grinding behavior characteristics on the metal powders has recently gained scientific interest due to their useful applications to enhance advanced nano materials and components. This could significantly improve the property of new mechatronics integrated materials and components. So, a new evaluation method for standardizing grinding equipment and a comparative study for the grinding experiment during the grinding process with various grinding mills were investigated. The series of grinding experiments were carried out by a traditional ball mill, stirred ball mill, and planetary ball mill with various experimental conditions. The relationship between the standardization of equipment and experimental results showed very significant conclusions. Furthermore, the comparative study on the grinding experiment, which investigated changes in particle size, particle morphology, and crystal structure of materials with changes in experimental conditions for grinding equipment, found that the value of particle size distribution is related to the various experimental conditions as a revolution speed of grinding mill and media size.

This study investigated the effects of revolution speed and ball size in planetary milling on the microstructure and dehydrogenation behavior of TiH₂ powder. The particle size analysis showed that the large particles present in the raw powder were effectively refined as the revolution speed increased, and when milled at 500 rpm, the median particle size was 1.47 ㎛. Milling with a mixture of balls of two or three sizes was more effective in refining the raw powder than milling with balls of a single size. A mixture of 3 mm and 5 mm diameter balls was the optimal condition for particle refinement, and the measured median particle size was 0.71 ㎛. The dependence of particle size on revolution speed and ball size was explained by changes in input energy and the number of contact points of the balls. In the milled powder, the endothermic peak measured using differential thermal analysis was observed at a relatively low temperature. This finding was interpreted as the activation of a dehydrogenation reaction, mainly due to the increase in the specific surface area and the concentration of lattice defects.

이 연구는 각각 크기와 재질이 다른 3 가지 종류의 분쇄 매체를 이용하여 회전속도와 밀링 시간의 따른 구리 (Cu) 분말의 형상변화의 과정에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고, 볼 움직임의 DEM시뮬레이션을 행하였다. 전동볼밀에서 볼 움직임의 3차원 시뮬레이션을 통해 분쇄 메커니즘을 규명하기 위하여 분쇄매체의 힘, 운동에너지, 매체 운동속도 등을 계산하였다. 시뮬레이션에서는 회전속도, 볼 재질, 운동속도, 마찰계수 등을 실제 실험조건과 동일하게 조건을 맞추어 투입되는 에너지의 변화량도 계산하였다. 주사전자현미경 결과를 살펴보면 볼 직경이 작을 때 입자형상이 불규칙한 형태에서 구형 형태로 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

As small size and complex metal machining components demand increases, cutting processes in microscale become necessary. Ball-end milling is a commonly used finishing process, which nowadays can be applied in the microscale size. Surface quality and dimensional accuracy are two basic parameters that affect small size components in their assembly and functionality. Thus, good quality can be achieved by optimizing the cutting conditions of the procedure. This study presents a 3D simulation model of ball-end milling in microscale developed in a commercial CAD software and its optical and computing results. These carried out results are resumed to surface topomorphy, surface roughness, chip geometry and cutting forces calculations that arising during the cutting process. A great number of simulations were performed in a milling machine centre, applying the discretized kinematics of the procedure and the final results were compared with measurements of Al7075-T651 experiments.

A series of test were undertaken in order to estabilish the effect of different milling variables on dimension and quality of aluminium flake powder. Milling conditions such as initial powder size, milling container rotation speed, milling time, and ball size were varied to produce aluminium flake powder. Flake powder could then be obtained with size range from 15 $\mu$m to 40 $\mu$m with a maximum specific surface area of 5 $m^{2}$/g by controlling milling conditions. Diameter of milled powders with different milling container rotation speed and ball size were compared with that obtained from theoretical model. The best flake powder was obtained in milling condition of initial powder with average size of 19 $\mu$m, mill container rotation speed of 80 rpm, balls of 9.5 mm diameter, and milling time of 40 hours.

In this paper, we theoretically analyzed the NRRO(the non-repeatable run-out) of a ball bearing with ball geometric imperfection. The quasi-static and dynamic analysis of a ball bearing was performed to calculate the displacement of shaft center caused by the ball form errors while the shaft is rotating. From consideration of the generating mechanism of NRRO, it is found that the size and form errors of ball generate vibrations with (equation omitted)$\_$c/ and n(equation omitted)$\_$b/${\pm}$(equation omitted)$\_$c/(where n is even) components, respectively. The ball form errors of a ball bearing were precisely measured and NRRO of a ball bearing was calculated using the measured data. A statistical approach was peformed to analyze NRRO of ball bearings with radial errors.

An investigation was carried out on the possibility whether the ball-milling process of low energy could successfully improve the packing density and flowability for MIM application in W-20wt%Cu system. In this study, W-20wt%Cu powder mixture was prepared by ball-milling. W powder was not fractured by low mechanical impact energy used in the present work during the critical ball-milling time, but the ductile Cu powder was easily deformed to the 3 dimensional equiaxed shape, having the particle size similar to that of W powder. The ball-milled mixture of W-20wt%Cu powder had the more homogeneous distribution of each component and the higher amount of powder loading for molding than the simple mixture of W-Cu powder with an irregular shape and a different size. Accordingly, the MIM W(1.75)-20wt%Cu powder compacts were able to be sintered to the relative density of 99% by sintering at $1400^{\circ}C$ for one hour.

This paper describes the development of a Stewart platform-based robot force sensor with distinctive structure of ball joints. The number of ball joints is only a half of the similar style sensors, so it is possible to reduce size and weight of the sensor. The structure of ball joint is described and discussed. Furthermore, we use strain gauges, but not liner voltage differential transformers, as sensing elements, in order to reduce size and weight of the sensor. It is also proposed that beams are replaced with pipes as sensing elements of the sensor. The ball joints and sensing elements with pipes can effectively reduce the error of the sensor. A geometric analysis model is also proposed. The external force and its moment can be measured with this model. Moreover, the performance of this sensor was tested. The test results conducted to evaluate the sensing capability of the sensor is reported and discussed.

The microstructural evolution during mechanical alloying of Nb and Sn powders, of average composition Nb3Sn, has been investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Observations by SEM showed a progressive change of milling time. From the XRD studies, the structural development with milling time depends on the ball size for a given powder/ball ratio. Using a larger ball of 9.5mm diameter, the elemental powders initially alloy mechanically to form an A15 structure phase, and then amorphised with continued milling. However, in case of milling with a smaller ball of 3.968mm diameter, an amorphous phase is first formed. These results can be understood by considering the dependence of the milling energy on the ball size. The homogeneous stoichiometric $Nb_3Sn$ phase could be easily obtained by heat treatment of a supersaturated solid solution produced by MA. Heat treatment of an amorphous phase formed by MA resulted in the mixture of the $Nb_3Sn$ and $Nb_6Sn_5$ phases.

$FeS_2$ 미세 입자가 열전지의 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자, 볼밀법을 이용하여 미세화 입자를 제조하고 그 미세구조 및 열안정성을 평가하였다. $FeS_2$의 평균 입자크기와 입자분포는 볼밀 시간에 따라 변하였다. 평균 입자크기는 10 h 볼밀 처리 후, $98.4{\mu}m$에서 $1.01{\mu}m$로 급격하게 감소하였다. 볼밀 시간이 증가할수록, 입자의 응집이 증가하고 입자 크기의 분포가 넓어지기 때문에 평균 입자크기는 증가하였다. 결국, 170 h의 볼밀을 시행한 후에 가장 좁은 크기의 단일 입자 분포를 가지는 $FeS_2$ 미세 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 한편, 입자가 분쇄됨에 따라 $FeS_2$의 열 안정성은 불안정해졌으며, 미세 입자 사이즈의 활성화 에너지는 이전의 $FeS_2$보다 27% 낮아졌다.
