My Titanium Powder process

interesting, how does it work?

Hi. Sorry by delay.It is a small vertical mill, which has two stationary vertical blades and two rotating vertical. The vertical blades pass very close to the stationary cutting the chip, and the rotating blades also move the ground material against a screen that define the mesh of the product. It is very similar to this mill here that is one of the most powerful on the planet because it reduces steel rice size ...

Amazing machine. Was it specifically made for grinding titanium?

Sorry by delay friend. Of course not, because it grinds almost anything that can be cut or broken, like, wood, coal, aluminum chips, copper wire, foam, paper, plastic, fiberglass, glass.It does not recommend grinding, abrasive material such as silicon carbide, emery stone, sand, ceramic, for the knife will lose the thread, but it will be broken for sure. All material comes out with a particle size defined by the screen installed in the path of the rotating blades.

It seems the conveyor is pulling iron based metals out as they pass. How does it catch other non-ferrous metals such as aluminum?

I suppose they come out during smelting but...

Typically they use a blower making plastics and soft metals go to another container. 2,25 min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqY3cShqHW4

Air separation of aluminum and titanium can be 'chancy'. They're close enough in density that thin machining chips and curls of both will often end up mixed when air separation is used to sort them.

Really. To sort Ti and Al blow both teem to be in the same fabric to be no problem in separation so it is very complicated. However even the worst is the separation of Mg and Al. But even Separator Eddy would be complicated because both are non-ferrous ... but there are many other means for sorting
