Particle sizes for the recorded sample and sampling time.
Sample assessment
The ceramic powder was treated in alcohol for a specified duration. Net milling time and paused cycle time are distinct unresolved scheduling quantities. The laboratory test record documents this preparation only; applying the method to another batch requires a matched trial.
Recorded objective
Wet-mill the material for the specified 230 minutes.
Equipment and selection
The recorded planetary machine is XQM. The corresponding TENCAN family is the Vertical square planetary ball mill. The jar volume identifies the test container and does not establish an exact machine variant or production capacity. Equipment association follows the recorded machine designation.
Test setup
| Recorded planetary machine | XQM |
|---|---|
| Documented setup | 500 mL alumina jar with standard zirconia balls; 147 g ceramic powder; alcohol wet milling; speed setting 600. |
| Recorded operating cycle | Run 10 / pause 10; units not stated in mode field |
Speed values are reproduced as recorded settings. A rotational unit and planetary-disc versus jar-speed basis are not stated, so these numbers are not labelled rpm.
Recorded procedure and results
The ceramic powder was processed for 230 minutes. The endpoint sample measured D50 = 5.53 µm and D90 = 8.57 µm. The separate operating-mode field records run 10/pause 10 without an explicit unit; the record does not state whether the 230 minutes is net running time or total elapsed time.
Measured at the recorded 230-minute endpoint for the 147 g ceramic-powder preparation.
Interpretation
The useful evidence is the distribution associated with the stated processing duration. There is no fixed size threshold and no ceramic composition or downstream sintering result. The time convention must remain explicit rather than being converted into a milling-rate claim.
Practical precautions
Clarify the duty-cycle units and net-versus-elapsed time before repeating. Confirm solvent-compatible seals and operating arrangements, and assess media wear against the ceramic formulation and subsequent use.
TENCAN alternatives to evaluate
For follow-up comparison, consider the TENCAN Laboratory Full-Directional Planetary Ball Mill. For ceramic powder, a matched QXQM trial can test whether changing orientation affects the ceramic distribution at the same defined net treatment time. Keep sample mass, media and sampling times controlled. This is a proposed comparison; the test record does not demonstrate a superior result for that alternative. Confirm jar compatibility and the permitted complete loaded mass before selecting a configuration.
