Abstract. Discrete element (DE) simulation of a ball mill with a large number of particles is challenging when each particle is considered. Similarity principle could be adopted to reduce the number of particles in a simulation whilst still maintaining the accurate flow behaviour of particles. This paper presents a scaling relationship between ...

Tumbling mills of any kind (ball, rod, AG, SAG, planetary, vibratory, nutating mill, etc.) are used in the mineral industry for size reduction. The process of size reduction in itself is highly energy intensive. For example, a typical 5m diameter ball mill and a 10m diameter SAG mill consume around 34 MW and 78 MW power, respectively.

Modelling and simulation of ball mill wear. S. Tarasiewicz. 1993, Wear. In the mineral processing industry, ball mills are used to reduce ore from one size distribution to another. Ball mill wear occurs as a result of the violent interactions within the ball charge. In the present article, a mathematical description of wear has been added to a ...

1. Fill the container with small metal balls. Most people prefer to use steel balls, but lead balls and even marbles can be used for your grinding. Use balls with a diameter between ½" (13 mm) and ¾" (19 mm) inside the mill. The number of balls is going to be dependent on the exact size of your drum.
The instantaneous uncut chip crosssectional area is extracted by counting the number of voxels that are being detected. The simulation shown uses a 3 mm diameter ball end mill with each voxel measuring 50 μm on all sides.
