• Description:
  An attrition milling process developed by the Bureau of Mines has been employed to produce submicrometer oxide and carbide powders. Lower energy requirements and improved properties are anticipated in forming these powders into sintered ceramic bodies. This paper describes sic milling studies employing coarse rounded sic and coarse ottawa sand grinding media. Particle sizes less than 1 micrometer were achieved in approximately 1/4 hour, and particle sizes about 0.1 Micrometer were achieved in 2 hours of milling. The average rate of surface area generation in this powder for the first 3 hours of milling is 8 square meters per gram per hour for both silicon carbide and ottawa sand media.
