Abstract: | We present the results of a study of the milling process for preparing intermetallic SmCO5 powder. From the curves we obtained representing the dependence of the particle size distribution and the oxygen uptake on milling time together with the results from x-ray diffraction, we determined the optimal milling times with respect to the required particle size of the SmCo5 powder 7.7–8.3 m and the permissible oxygen content 2250–2520 ppm.Belgrade University.
