Grinding Balls. Steel balls ranging from ¾ to 5 in. in diameter are used. Rods range from 1½ to 4 in. in diameter and should be 3 to 4 in. shorter than the inside mill length. Tube mills are usually fed balls smaller than 2 in., whereas 4- or 5-in. balls are more commonly used for ball-mill grinding.

Results indicate that there is no significant advantage of adjusting slurry density as a function of ball size. Slurry density indeed influences the size reduction in the mill, but the effect is independent of the grinding media size. Similarly ball size influences a grinding mill performance but the effect of this variable is. Acknowledgements
