The present invention provides an application method for cold field plasma discharge assisted high energy ball milled powder and a plasma assisted high energy ball milling device using the method for cold field plasma high energy ball milled powder. The present invention generates plasma by using dielectric barrier discharge and introducing a dielectric barrier discharge electrode bar into a high-speed vibrating ball milling tank, which requires that, on one hand, a solid insulation medium on the outer layer of the electrode bar can simultaneously bear high-voltage discharge and mechanical shock failure of the grinding ball, and on the other hand, the high-speed vibrating ball milling device can uniformly process the powder. Based on the ordinary ball milling technology, the discharge space pressure is set to a non-thermal equilibrium discharge state with a pressure of about 10.sup.2 to 10.sup.6 Pa, discharge plasmas are introduced to input another kind of effective energy to the processed powder, so as to accelerate refinement of the powder to be processed and promote the alloying process under the combined action of the mechanical stress effect and the thermal effect of the external electric field, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency and the effect of the ball mill.

A dry ice freeze-pulverizer includes pulverizing container and pulverizer main body. The pulverizing container includes a container main body that includes a bottom plate and a side plate erected from a peripheral edge of the bottom plate, has an upper surface opening, and is provided with a pulverizing blade therein, and a lid that closes the upper surface opening and has a vent hole.

A method for producing a potassium titanate easily and inexpensively produces a potassium titanate that exhibits high thermal stability and has a significantly low fibrous potassium titanate content. The method for producing a potassium titanate includes calcining a raw material mixture by heating the raw material mixture to a maximum calcination temperature that exceeds 1000° C. while controlling the heating rate from 1000° C. to the maximum calcination temperature to 15° C./min or less to obtain a calcine, and cooling the calcine while controlling the cooling rate from the maximum calcination temperature to 500° C. to 100° C./min or more, followed by grinding, the raw material mixture including a titanium compound and a potassium compound so that the molar ratio (number of moles of titanium compound on a titanium atom basis/number of moles of potassium compound on a potassium atom basis) of the number of moles of the titanium compound on a titanium atom basis to the number of moles of the potassium compound on a potassium atom basis is 2.7 to 3.3.

A sample crushing device is provided having a function of stably absorbing vibration of a support member supporting a sample container and vibration of other members which accompanies the vibration. When a rotating shaft 20 is rotated and driven by rotation driving mechanism, revolving motions of a first support member 12 around an axis line C1 of a rotating shaft 20 and rotational movement of an inclined shaft 10 around an axis line C2 arm restrained by a base 1 via first elastic members 14. As a result, the first support member 12 and sample containers 41 are vibrated in plural directions, and samples housed in the sample containers 41 are crushed by crushing media.

Vibration of the first support member 12 in plural directions is absorbed by a base 1 via the first elastic members 14 coupled with each of the first support member 12 and the base 1.
