In this Perspective article, Gerd Kaupp, from the University of Oldenburg, Germany looks at the varied use of milling with metals according to reaction types.
This is an essential guide to mechanical milling, where Kaupp covers the bredth of the field from alloying, brittle milling and ductile kneading, to milling of metals with infinitely covalent non-metals, with metal salts and hydrides, molecular crystals and carbon, with gases, and with organic halides and ketones, as well as with other metals.
Kaupp particularly emphasises that in many cases it is easy to reduce the long milling times found in a great deal of the literature ‘based on the chemical and technical understanding of the various processes’.
