Abstract

The granulation process is commonly used for tailoring the properties of powders. However the granules have often a wide size distribution and the oversize granules have to be milled and returned to the process. The selection of the appropriate milling equipment depends on the mechanical properties of the powders (hardness, modules of elasticity and fracture tough
