A method of treatment a metal powder to increase its surface area is presented. The metal powder to be treated is selected from a group consisting of tantalum, niobium and mixtures thereof. The method utilizes mechanical alloying applied to an initial selected metal powder and an auxiliary substance having relatively weak corrosion resistance as compared to that of the selected metal. The mechanic...

The roof tiles (12) are placed by hand in the guide section of the device. Because of the sloping position of the tile-cutter on the roof and by the rattling motion in the breaking process, the tiles are transported. The tiles are automatically broken by the tooth roller (3) and the grating comb (4). The crushed tiles are then led to the discharge point, through the chute and to the storage contai...
