amplitude: 2 mm
mortar and 50 mm Ø ball made of zirconium oxide (ZrO2)
Sample already starts sticking after 5 minutes of dry grinding. Majority has been ground to fine powder.
A grinding in liquid nitrogen is not necessary to achieve the desired fineness.
main disk speed: 650 rpm
80 ml grinding bowl made of sintered corundum (Al2O3)
+ 5x 20 mm Ø Al2O3 grinding balls
After a grinding time of 5 minutes, all sample use to be ground to < 200µm.
Sintered corundum use to have a rough surface. For this, is use to be optimal for a grinding of organic materials.
With sintered corundum, usually more abrasion will be found compared to other ceramic materials.
