When used with grinding media ("balls") they are called SAG (semiautogenous grinding) and when only rock is present they are called AG (autogenous grinding) mills. The most common secondary mill is a ball mill in which relatively fine feed particles ( mm top size) are ground in a charge consisting predominantly of steel balls.

Since the 1970s, the semiautomatic grinding process has been diversified, from the initial singlestage semiautomatic grinding process to the semiautomatic grinding + ball milling (SAB) process and then to the semiautomatic grinding + ball milling + stone crushing (SABC) process. Compared with the traditional crushing and grinding ...
