Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol.-% ore and 25% steel. The ball mill is operated in closed circuit with a particle-size measurement device and size-control cyclones.
Cobalt Steel Ball End Mills with Two Milling Ends. With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel end mills can run at higher speeds and provide better performance on hard material, such as iron, hardened steel, titanium, and tool steel. When one end wears out, turn the tool around for a sharp edge.
8.3.2.2 Ball mills. The ball mill is a tumbling mill that uses steel balls as the grinding media. The length of the cylindrical shell is usually 1–1.5 times the shell diameter ( Figure 8.11). The feed can be dry, with less than 3% moisture to minimize ball coating, or slurry containing 20–40% water by weight.
This ball mill is typically designed to grind mineral ores and other materials with different hardness, and it is widely used in different fields, such as ore dressing, building material field, chemical industry, etc. Due to the difference of its slurry discharging method, it is divided to two types: grid type ball mill and overflow type ball mill.
In general, therefore, the required mill power is calculated using the following equation. where n is the number of efficiency factors, EFi, used and fo is the feed rate of new ore to the mill. The power calculated from equation 2 can be looked up in published tables (Rowland and Kjos, 1978) and the correct mill size and type can be selected.
Commercial ball sizes 10 – 150 mm; Number, size and mass of each ball size depends on mill load and whether or not the media is being added as the initial charge. For the initial chargin of a mill, Coghill and DeVaney (1937) defined the ball size as a function of the top size of the feed, i.e., d↓V = 0.40 K√F dB = ball size (cm)
The apparent difference in capacities between grinding mills (listed as being the same size) is due to the fact that there is no uniform method of designating the size of a mill, for example: a 5′ x 5′ Ball Mill has a working diameter of 5′ inside the liners and has 20 per cent more capacity than all other ball mills designated as 5′ x

Corrected Ball Mill Feed, and 3. T2’: the particle size distribution of the Corrected Ball Mill Feed. With two equations and three unknowns, there are several solutions to equations [5] and [6], depending on the value attributed to the Fines Factor (Q1), each yielding different Corrected Ball Mill Feed Size Distributions (T’2).

The rods grind the ore by tumbling within the the mill, similar to the grinding balls in a ball mill. To prevent the conditions leading to rod charge tangling, the length to diameter ratio is maintained at 1.4 to 1.6. Rod mills accept feed up to about 50 mm (2 in.) and produce a product in the size range of 3000 to 270 mm (–4 to –35 mesh).
1.27 for the rod mill and 0.67 for the ball mill. The particle size distributions reported are shown in Figure 1. It follows that the No 1 rod mill/ball mill circuit was operating very effi ciently when comparing the combined operating work indices for both mills with the rod mill and ball mill laboratory work indices.
Milling Speeds and Feeds Charts The most important aspect of milling with carbide end mills is to run the tool at the proper rpm and feed rate. We have broken these recommendations down into material categories so you can make better decisions with how to productively run your end mills.
