AbstractPowder blends consisting of prealloyed FCC Ag-Cu solid solutions and elemental Fe powders were ball milled in overall compositions of Ag25Cu50Fe25, andAg40Cu20Fe40. The phase evolution with milling time was investigated by x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. For the sample with higher Cu concentration, a ternary FCC alloy phase was formed, while milling the other sample resulted in a two phase mixture consisting of a Ag-rich FCC and an Fe-rich BCC solid solution. About the same amount of enthalpy between 12 and 13 kJ/g-atom is stored in the final states for the two different compositions. Two models based on kinetic and energetic considerations will be discussed and compared to the results. The kinetic model is based on the competition between forced atomic motion during shearing, which is driving the system towards a homogeneous alloy, and thermally activated diffusion, which favors phase separation. For the energetic model, the energy balance is calculated and a phase transformation is expected, if the required energy can be stored in phase boundaries.

Mechanical alloying using a planetary ball mill allowed us to obtain two homogeneous systems formed by units with nanometer size and MnCo0.8Fe0.2Ge1−xSix stoichiometry (x = 0 and 0.5). The phase evolution of the systems with the milling time was analyzed using X-ray diffraction. Thermal stability of the final products was studied using differential scanning calorimetry. Room temperature 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to follow the changes in the Fe environments. A paramagnetic Co-based amorphous phase developed in both alloys as milling progressed. However, while the presence of Si stabilized the Mn-type phase, mechanical recrystallization was observed in a Si-free composition leading to the formation of a MnCo(Fe)Ge intermetallic (Pnma space group) with a crystal size of 7 ± 1 nm. Mössbauer results indicate that Fe atoms migrate from the initial bcc phase to the amorphous and intermetallic phases.

Microstructure evolution of high energy milled Al-50wt%Si alloy during heat treatment at different temperature was studied. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the size of the alloy powders decreased with increasing milling time. The observable coarsening of Si particles was not seen below 730°C in the high energy milled alloy, whereas, for the alloy prepared by mixed Al and Si powders, the grain growth occurred at 660°C. The activation energy for the grain growth of Si particles in the high energy milled alloy was determined as about 244 kJ/mol by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data analysis. The size of Si particles in the hot pressed Al-50wt%Si alloy prepared by high energy milled powders was 5-30 m at 700°C, which was significantly reduced compared to that of the original Si powders. Thermal diffusivity of the hot pressed Al-50wt%Si alloy was 55 mm2/s at room temperature which was obtained by laser method.

ABSTRACTThe evolution of the B2-AlFe phase during mechanical grinding in Ar has been examined as a function of milling time by X-Ray diffraction, transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Short and long range disorder was observed to increase with the mechanical treatment up to the attainment of a steady state. The evolution of the long range order parameter and of the local atomic configurations at Fe sites were analyzed in terms of possible mechanisms for milling induced disordering. The kinetics of the thermal reordering was studied under continuous heating and isothermal calorimetrie regimes. Modeling of the reordering processes by diffusion controlled growth of pre-existing ordered grains is presented as well as the estimated values of both the enthalpy and the activation energy of the reordering process. The results are consistent with a non uniform distribution of disorder throughout the sample and will be compared with preceding information on related systems.

Fe-10wt% La (OH)3 composite powders have been fabricated by ball milling, under argon atmosphere for milling periods of 0, 5 and 10 h, respectively. Changes in structural, morphological, thermal and magnetic properties of the powders during mechanical alloying and during subsequent annealing have been examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). XRD results: showed the formation of new phases (Fe and LaFeO3 perovskite) created through the ball milling. The results showed that the crystalline size of ball milled powders decreased with increasing the milling time. In fact, after 10 h of ball milling, La (OH)3 changes from nanostructure in amorphous structure. The magnetic measurements display a distinct saturation magnetization and coercivity.

Mechanically induced crystallization of an amorphous Fe90Zr10 alloy was studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Under high-energy ball-milling in an AGO-2 mill, melt-spun Fe90Zr10 ribbons undergo crystallization into BCC α- Fe(Zr). Zr atoms are found to be solved in the Fe(Zr) grains up to a maximum supersaturation of about 3.5 at.% Zr, where it can be presumed that the remaining Zr atoms are segregated in the grainboundaries. The decomposition degree of the amorphous phase increases with increasing milling time and intensity. It is proposed that the observed crystallization is deformation-induced and rather not attribute to local temperature rises during ball-collisions.

High energy ball milling (HEBM) had been carried out to produce submicron size titanium aluminide intermetallics (TiAl) using elemental powders of Ti and Al alongwith Ni-P coated graphite. 1% graphite powders was added to stoichiometric composition of Ti48Al and ball milling was conducted for different milling time at varying rpm. The effect of milling time and rpm on particle size has been studied. The prepared samples have been characterized using X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scaning elecron microscopy (SEM). Grain size as low as 500 nm could be achieved. Formation of Ti3Al, TiAl and carbon containing intermetallic compounds had been confirmed through X-ray diffraction. Milling time and rpm of mill is found to be important factors which control the final particle size.

In this Study, FeNi-Al2O3 nanocomposites with three different compositions were successfully synthesized through mechanical alloying of Fe2O3, Ni and Al powders mixture. Characterization of the products was accomplished by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of various parameters such as chemical composition of starting materials, milling time and annealing on the phase evolution, morphology and microhardness of samples was investigated. It was found that FeNi matrix nanocomposites reinforced with 10, 15 and 30wt.% of Al2O3 were fabricated in 300, 240 and 180 min of milling, respectively. The crystallite size of the intermetallic FeNi phase and particle size of Al2O3 in the 720 min milled FeNi-30wt.%Al2O3 nanocomposite sample were calculated 28nm and 5.15 µm, respectively. Microhardness results also showed the same sample had the maximum hardness value of 790 HV.

The object of our research is to combine the properties of Mangalloys and nanoscale advantages in order to enhance the performance and extend the range of applications in the field of work-hardening parts such as railroad components, armor, and modern auto components. We have produced a high-manganese austenitic steel nanomaterial containing more than 12 wt% Mn, which is the level of Mn in Hadfield steel. This study experimentally determined the process of phase transitions involved in Fe–13 wt% Mn–1.2 wt% C alloy during mechano-synthesis and after subsequent annealing. The milling time ranged from 0.5 to 24 h. The unique features of the nanocrystalline structure and the changes in microstructure as a function of milling time were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy coupled with EDX. The grain sizes and microstrain of the milled powder were determined. A thorough study has been done on the sample where a new phase fcc (at 24h of MA) was formed.The object of our research is to combine the properties of Mangalloys and nanoscale advantages in order to enhance the performance and extend the range of applications in the field of work-hardening parts such as railroad components, armor, and modern auto components.

Exothermic reactions in cold-rolled Ni/Al reactive multilayer foils were investigated in this study. A two-stage reaction process was observed in the self-propagating reactions in the cold-rolled foils that were ignited by a point-source flame. Foils taken out of the flame after completing the first stage of the reaction process were compared to those allowed to complete both stages. Differences in the phase-evolution sequence from the two types of foils were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), using slow and controlled heating of the samples. Several exothermic peaks could be identified from the DSC thermograms for both types of foils. Using the DSC, both the as-cold-rolled and partially reacted foils were heated to each peak temperature to identify the reaction product associated with each peak. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analyses showed that the first two peaks corresponded to the formation of Al3Ni, while the third peak corresponded to the formation of AlNi.

The stoichiometric intermetallic compound NbSi2 has been synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) elemental Nb and Si powders. The alloying process has been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that the formation of the Nb2Si intermetallic compound occurs abruptly after 65 min of milling without any interruptions during the alloying process. However, short interruptions at a 5 min interval during ball milling result in a gradual reaction for the formation of the NbSi2 compound as well as a new metastable bcc structured solid solution. We conclude that the temperature rise during mechanical alloying plays an important role in initiating the abrupt reaction after an incubation milling time.
