Milling  

Definition

  • 1. The mechanical reduction of the particle size of a sample by attribution (friction), impact or cutting. The required particle size of a sample is related to the size of the test portion and the number of particles required to ensure homogeneity among test portions. The reduction in particle size may sometimes result in particles of different hardness and density, which produces inhomogeneity during the preparation of the test sample or during the withdrawal of the test portion. (IUPAC). 2. Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material[1] by advancing a cutter into a workpiece. (Wikipedia). 3. Milling is a widely used process in mechanical machining in which a rotating tool, the milling cutter, is used to remove material from a workpiece and create a desired shape or surface structure generate.
