Can ceramic balls and steel balls be combined in an industrial tumbling ...
1. Introduction. Compared to conventional steel media, ceramic balls have a lower specific gravity and superior wear resistance [1].Ceramic balls were initially used primarily in the IsaMill because they could provide fast stirring speed while maintaining high kinetic energy (E = mv 2) despite their low specific gravity [2].According to Kwade's stress model [3, 4], which is illustrated in Eqs.
