1 Introduction
Spherical alloying is an important technology for improving the performance of ceramics. Its basic principle is to get a spherical particle or powder from mix-circulating milling and grinding, while in a low temperature condition. The advantage of this process is that, the spherical particles obtained has higher strength, uniformity and shapes, better surface activity, no sharp corners and other advantages. In recent years, due to the rapid development of ceramic industry, ultra-fine mill and grinding mill are widely used to study and improve the efficiency of the new materials processing. In particular, the spherical alloying process has great potential for improving the performance of ceramics. Therefore, the research and development of spherical alloying equipment has been constantly improved.
2 Principle of design
The design of a spherical alloying equipment should take into account the principles of grinding, the requirements of the process parameters, the performance of the material and the safety of operation. The specific principle is as follows:
1) Grinding principle: Grinding is one of the important processes for obtaining nanometer-scale spherical particles. The quality of the milled product depends directly on the characteristics of the equipment, the effective control of the process parameters and the development of grinding equipment.
2) Process parameter requirements: The process parameters of the spherical alloying process are generally related to the type of equipment, the grinding medium, the rotating speed and the temperature. The suitable process parameters can prevent mechanical grinding, improve the stability of the system, reduce energy consumption and improve product quality.
3) Material performance: The spherical alloying equipment is generally composed of various materials such as machine body, grinding media and production line. Therefore, the selection of these materials is very important. It is necessary to consider the mechanical strength and chemical stability of the material, as well as the compatibility with the milled product.
4) Safety of operations: The design of the equipment should also be considered in terms of safety. The preventive measure includes safe operation and maintenance, as well as the standardization of the control cabinet.
3 Design steps
After the principles are established, the design steps of the spherical alloying equipment shall be adopted including concept design, manufacturing and installation, debugging and testing. The detail steps are as follows:
1) Concept design: this step will decide the structure of the spherical alloying equipment and the selection of grinding media. According to the process requirements, the production capacity, product quality and efficiency should be considered. The specific plan should be drawn up according to the actual equipment configuration, installation and operation requirements.
2) Manufacturing and installation: this step of production should be operated according to the specific plan of the concept design, including the choice of process mode and the selection of welding materials. After welding and assembly, the debugging of the equipment will be conducted.
3) Debugging and testing: the purpose of this procedure is to check whether the equipment is working normally and to ensure the accuracy of the system. This step includes the status of the mechanical transmission, the correctness of the system parameter setting, the stability of the production line.
4) Commissioning: This procedure is to test the performance of the equipment under strict conditions to ensure full compliance with the design requirements, as well as long-term reliability.
4 Concluding remarks
The design of spherical alloying equipment requires the comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, such as grinding principle, process parameter requirements, material performance and safety of operations. As the technology of spherical alloying equipment develops, the study of the design will have a far-reaching influence on the improvement of the quality and efficiency of ceramic processing.
