Abstract
A method for mixing, milling, and coating a plurality of constituents comprises placing the constituents in a container that includes a cylindrical inner surface; applying a first vibration to the container such that a motion of the vibration is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the container; and applying a second vibration to the container such that the motion of the vibration is not parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container.
Claims10
A method for mixing, milling, and coating a plurality of constituents, the method comprising:
- placing the constituents in a container that includes a cylindrical inner surface;
- applying a first vibration to the container such that a motion of the first vibration is parallel to, or aligned with, a longitudinal axis of the container, the first vibration being applied with a first acceleration having a first value;
- and
- applying a second vibration to the container, sequentially after applying the first vibration, such that the motion of the second vibration is not parallel to, or aligned with, the longitudinal axis of the container, the second vibration being applied with a second acceleration having a second value, wherein the first acceleration value is greater than the second acceleration value.
A method for mixing, milling, and coating a plurality of constituents, the method comprising:
- placing the constituents in a container that includes a cylindrical inner surface;
- orienting the container such that a longitudinal axis of the container is parallel to, or aligned with, a vertical axis;
- applying a first vibration to the container such that a motion of the first vibration is parallel to, or aligned with, the longitudinal axis of the container, the first vibration being applied with a first acceleration having a first value;
- rotating the container such that the longitudinal axis is parallel to, or aligned with, a horizontal axis;
- and
- applying a second vibration to the container such that the motion of the second vibration is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the container, the second vibration being applied with a second acceleration having a second value, wherein the first acceleration value is greater than the second acceleration value.
