    Abstract

    The comminution of unagglomerated alumina powders was enhanced by applying ultrasonic energy during wet-ball milling for 16 h. The resulting powders had significantly finer mean and median particle sizes, narrower particle-size distributions, and less angular morphologies than powders which were conventionally wet-ball milled. Keywords: Ultrasound; Powder; Alumina; Comminution; Wet-ball milling; Particle size.
