The present invention relates to a Ni-base brazing alloy. The alloy has a good wettability toward a material to be brazed when melting, an excellent corrosion resistance and a high strength. The alloy is used for process of joining two pieces of metal such as stainless steel. The alloy contains Cr in an mount of 25 to 35% by weight, P in an amount of 4 to 8% by weight, Si in an amount of 3 to 6% by weight, wherein the total amount of P and Si is 9 to 11.5% by weight, at least one selected from a group consisting of Al, Ca, Y and misch metal in an amount of 0.01 to 0.10% by weight, and the balance of Ni and unavoidable impurities.

There is provided a ball mill having a milling chamber into which metal powder is fed. The ball mill is also provided with milling means for milling metal powder into fine metal powder having a particle size less than a predetermined size. When the ball mill operates, a quantity of heat (Q,) is generated in the milling chamber. The milling chamber is cooled by liquid cooling means and gas cooling means according to the present invention. The liquid cooling means causes cooling liquid to flow along the outside wall of the milling chamber to remove a quantity of heat (Q,) during the ball mill operation. The gas cooling means causes cooling gas to flow through the milling chamber to remove a quantity of heat (Q,) during the ball mill operation. The generated quantity of heat (Q,) can be counterbalanced with the sum of the removed quantities of heat (Q,) and (Q,) so as to prevent the inside of the milling chamber from overheating, so that the ball mill can operate in the condition of Q,/V&gE;0.05 kW/l, where V is the inner volume of the milling chamber.

A wear-resistant copper-based alloy includes 10.0 to 30.0% by weight Ni, 2.0 to 15.0% by weight Fe, 2.0 to 15.0% by weight Co, 0.5 to 5.0% by weight Si, 1.0 to 10.0% by weight Cr, 2.0 to 15.0% by weight at least one first optional element selected from the group consisting of Mo, Ti, Zr, Nb and V, at least one second optional element selected from the group consisting of C and O, and the balance of Cu and inevitable impurities. A carbon content 'X' and an oxygen content 'Y' satisfy the following relationships; namely: 0.ltoreq.'X'.ltoreq.0.5, 0.ltoreq.'Y'.ltoreq.0.05, and 'Y'.gtoreq.(-0.8)('X')+0.04. The wear-resistant copper-based alloy enables to improve the toughness of weld bead, and to inhibit weld bead from cracking effectively in the solidifying process of a building-up operation.
