Milling Media, Grinding Media & Grinding Balls
Milling media is crucial for grinding substances into fine powders or reducing them to a desired particle size. If you're looking for effective solutions for your research and development (R&D) team or any other research application that requires controlled particle compositions, milling media is a valuable investment.
MSE Supplies provides several types of milling media, including alumina grinding media, milling balls and milling jars for critical crushing.
Metallic Grinding Media
Primarily composed of metal alloys, metallic grinding media is used across several industries. They are hard enough to crush solid substances and offer effective crushing and grinding, saving time. We provide the following types of metallic grinding media:

How to Choose Grinding Media and Milling Media?
It's important to select milling media that will provide the desired results and is compatible with the substance that needs milling or grinding. When selecting milling balls and grinding media, the key properties to consider are:
- Density: Milling media with higher densities yields finer particle sizes. To achieve this, the media's gravity should be higher than the milled substance.
- Particle sizes: The substance you'll be milling can indicate the ideal media's particle size. Large milling media reduce particles quicker while smaller media grinds finer, providing consistent results.
- Hardness: Harder grinding media can be the best solution for more efficient milling and grinding with less contamination and wear.
- Composition: The choice of ball composition and grinding media must align with the material that will be milled for optimal results and to prevent contamination.
- Cost: More expensive options can provide superior grinding with less contamination and wear, making cost a deciding factor when considering milling media prices.
