Diamond/silicon carbide (95%/3%)

Protocol number:	M0099164
Industry:	Mechanochemistry
Feed Size:	5mm
Desired Fineness:	< 1mm
Quantity:	100g
Recommendation:	Because of its hardness, diamond use to be very abrasive. Higher abrasion is expected to be found. For this, we recommend grinding the sample with our Planetary Mono Mill PULVERISETTE 6 classic line and using bowls and balls made of hardmetal tungsten carbide. We also recommend grinding only short times.

	Planetary Mono Mill PULVERISETTE 6 classic line main disk speed: 510 rpm
Equipment:	250 ml grinding bowl made of hardmetal tungsten carbide (WC) +6x 30 mm Ø WC grinding balls
Feed quantity:	100 g
Feed Size:	5 mm
Grinding time:	120 s
Final fineness:	< 1 mm
Comments:	2 minutes of dry grinding use to be fulfilling to grind the complete sample to < 1mm length. If balls and bowl might become coated with diamond / silicon carbide, probably wear off on balls and bowl will become lowered. For this, we don’t recommend cleaning the grinding materials if just that kind of sample should be ground.
