Description
Grinding ball 10 mm hard metal tungsten carbide is a high-wear milling medium for laboratory ball mills, produced from tungsten carbide (WC, GC10). The 10 mm diameter ball has a net weight of 0,0080 kg and is specified for hard, abrasive sample materials that place high mechanical demand on the grinding media. Abrasion resistance is rated as very good, supporting extended use where softer media would wear rapidly or introduce unwanted contamination. Recommended loadings for 10 mm balls are 100 pieces in 500 ml bowls (useful sample volume 80–225 ml), 50 in 250 ml (30–125 ml), 25 in 80 ml (10–30 ml), 18 in 45 ml (3–20 ml), 10 in 20 ml (1–9 ml), and 6 in 12 ml bowls (0,5–5 ml). Matching ball count to bowl volume and fill level helps achieve consistent energy transfer and particle-size reduction. Offered as a single piece from manufacturer Fritsch, this tungsten carbide ball suits planetary and related mill systems in materials research, mineral processing, and hard-sample preparation. Select this medium when sample hardness and abrasiveness require the durability of WC-based grinding balls rather than ceramic or steel alternatives.

Questions about grinding ball 10 mm hardmetal tungsten carbide
What is this article?
grinding ball 10 mm hardmetal tungsten carbide is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Fritsch for laboratory use. It sits in Mills, grinders & homogenisers, inside Test sieves & mills, in Lab instruments.
A mill, grinder or homogeniser reduces particle size or breaks a tissue before an extraction. The rotor and the sieve insert decide the result. A knife mill and a bead mill are different machines. The sample has to tolerate the heat the motor puts into it.
A test sieve sorts particles by whether they pass an opening. Wire mesh and perforated plate are two ways of making that opening, and the nominal size is not a suggestion. A sieve shaker repeats the motion so the result does not depend on how hard someone shook by hand. A mill or grinder makes the particles smaller before they are sieved. The certificate of the sieve, and the opening size, are what an audit asks for. Measurement practice around mass and dimension sits with the BIPM, EURAMET and BELAC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Test sieves & mills. The sub-category is Mills, grinders & homogenisers. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
Shelves beside this one are Test sieves (wire mesh), Test sieves (perforated plate), Sieve shakers and Sieve accessories (lids, pans, rings).
What should I check before I order?
