Robotized High-Temperature Technology Producing Materials and Alloys for Grinding Media

Abstract

In the presented paper are introduced areas of applications of ball mills. The construction of the ball mills and the milling media are revised. Attention is paid to lifter bars, which helps for grinding the material. Different shapes of lifter bars are described. It is shown patent application of new shape lifter bar. High-temperature processes for production of lifter material are investigated. Methodology for high-temperature processes is used. Possibility for hardening the lifter bars with use of Tammann and Vacuum furnace is examined. Devices and tools for control of the input materials for high-temperature furnace is investigated too. Robotization of the process for production of lifters with Tammann furnace is examined. Future steps for automation of the process are shown.
