ABSTRACTWe report the formation of single-phase amorphous Cu-Er and Ni-Er alloys in bulk form by cold-rolling of composites prepared from elemental foils. As for previously reported cases of metallic glass formation by solid-state reaction, the driving force for the reaction is the negative enthalpy of mixing of the constituent elements. It occurs during deformation close to room temperature. Amorphous Cu7 2 Er2 8 was also produced by high-energy ball-milling of the elemental powders as well as by sputtering and liquid quenching. The alloys obtained were characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry and x-ray diffraction. The crystallization behavior observed and the radial distribution functions obtained showed good agreement between the alloys prepared by different methods.

An intermetallic compound c–NiZr and a mixture of elemental powders of nickel and zirconium [Ni50Zr50 (at. %)] have been mechanically ground (MG) and mechanically alloyed (MA), respectively, using a high-energy ball mill in various atmospheres. The products were characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and chemical analysis as a function of milling time. An amorphous a–NiZr alloy was prepared by both MG and MA in an argon atmosphere. By MG of NiZr, an amorphous nitride a–NiZrN0.15 was synthesized in a nitrogen atmosphere, while a crystalline hydride c–NiZrH3 was formed in a hydrogen atmosphere. On the other hand, ZrN and ZrH2 were formed by MA in a nitrogen and a hydrogen atmosphere, respectively. The amorphization reaction was observed between ZrH2 and Ni by further MA in a hydrogen atmosphere, and a mixture of a–NiZrxHy (x < 1) and ZrH2 was obtained. However, no amorphization was observed by MA between ZrN and Ni in a nitrogen atmosphere. The effects of the milling atmosphere on the phase formations during MG and MA are discussed based on the gas absorption rate.

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.

The amorphization process by mechanical alloying in the Fe-Si alloy system has been studied. High energy ball milling has been applied for alloys synthesis. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to monitor the structural and phase transformations through the different stages of milling. The addition of amorphous boron in the milling process and the increase of the milling time were used to improve the formation of the amorphous phase. Heating the samples resulted in the crystallization of the synthesized amorphous alloys and the appearance of equilibrium intermetallic compounds.

An elemental powder mixture corresponding to the Al3Ni2 phase stoichiometry was subjected to mechanical alloying in a high-energy ball mill. Products of this process after various milling times were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The phase transformations occurring in the material throughout milling and during heating in a calorimeter were investigated by X-ray diffraction method. This study revealed that a metastable nanocrystalline NiAl intermetallic phase was formed during the mechanical alloying process. Heating of the synthesised powders in the calorimeter caused phase transformations, the product of which was an equilibrium Al3Ni2 intermetallic phase or a mixture of NiAl, Al3Ni2 and Al3Ni intermetallic phases, depending on the milling time and the temperature up to which the material was heated.

In the present work, Al-5083-5wt% nanoyttria powders were milled for 10, 20, 30 and 35 hrs in a high energy ball milling under optimised process parameters. The milled powders were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Milled powders exhibit nanocrystalline single phase after 10hrs of milling. Consolidation of 35 hrs milled powder was done by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) through 90odie channel angle using route A upto three passes with and without back pressure and sintered under controlled environment. Density of ECAPed samples was measured using Archimedes principle. The density is 96% for the sample consolidated with backpressure after two passes after sintering.

Thermal decomposition of supersaturated single-phase body-centered cubic (bcc) Fe100−xZnx (5≤ x ≤65 at.%) solid solutions, processed via mechanical alloying of high-purity metal powders, was investigated using x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). At elevated temperatures the metastable solid solution decomposed into a stable equilibrium aggregate consisting of the pure bcc Fe phase and an intermetallic compound Fe4Zn9. The decomposition temperature decreased with increasing Zn concentration. The enthalpy of decomposition for various Fe–Zn solid solutions measured by the DSC was in the range of 1.2–3.5 kJ/mol. The enthalpy of mixing of the as-milled solid solutions from elemental Fe and Zn powders was estimated to be 0.5–1.7 kJ/mol. In addition, the activation energies of decomposition for these solid solutions were determined on the basis of the Kissinger analysis, and their values appeared to be independent of the Zn concentration in the alloy, with an average of 147 ± 17 kJ/mol.

Elemental powder mixtures of Co and Ti were subjected to high-energy ball milling in order to produce mechanically alloyed powders with nominal compositions Co64Ti36, Co67Ti33, Co70Ti30, Co73Ti27, Co76Ti24 and Co85Ti15. The mechanically alloyed powders were treated during 30 minutes in inert atmosphere at temperatures in the range 300 – 700 °C. Both the as-milled powders as well as those subjected to heat treatments have been characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry and differential thermal analysis. As-milled products consist mostly of agglomerated powders with a size between 10 and 80 µm which give an amorphous-like diffraction pattern, except for the Co85Ti15 sample whose pattern presents the characteristic peaks of the Co3Ti intermetallic phase. The transformation of the asmilled powders occurs at temperatures in the range of about 530 – 670 °C with clearly observed exothermic events. The Co3Ti phase is found in all heat treated samples, together with fcc-Co (in Co76Ti24 and Co85Ti15) or the hexagonal Co2Ti intermetallic phase (in Co64Ti36, Co67Ti33 and Co70Ti30); the Co73Ti27 sample was essentially single-phase Co3Ti after heating to 700 °C. Our results suggest the occurrence of crystallization of an amorphous phase in two overlapping stages during heating of the mechanically alloyed powders.

AbstractThe ordered structure of Fe–40A1 B2 powders was completely disordered by high energy ball-milling. The defect structures of the powders disordered to different extents were characterized using X-Ray diffraction. A significant lattice expansion was observed, which we tried to relate to the high concentration of point defects introduced into the material as a consequence of milling.A complete reordering was accomplished by heating up the specimens under an inert Ar atmosphere. We followed the kinetics of the disorder to order transformation by Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Thermogravimetric Magnetic Measurements. The two techniques allowed us to identify the temperature range and the apparent activation energy of the process. As expected, a decrease in the magnetic moment of the originally disordered powders as a consequence of the reordering treatments was also observed.

Tthe present work studied the cationic substitution of Y3+ by Bi3+ on the crystal structure of orthorhombic YFeO3 and its effect over magnetic, dielectric and electric properties of multiferroic yttrium orthoferrite. Stoichiometric mixtures of Y2O3, Fe2O3 and Bi2O3 were mixed and milled for 5 h using a ball to powder weight ratio of 10:1 by high-energy ball milling. The obtained powders were pressed at 1500 MPa and sintered at 700 °C for 2 h. The test samples were characterized at room temperature by X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and impedance spectroscopy (IS). The X-ray diffraction patterns disclosed a maximum solubility of 30 % mol. of Bi3+ into the orthorhombic YFeO3. For higher concentrations, a transformation from orthorhombic to garnet structure was produced, obtaining partially Y3Fe5O12 phase. The substitution of Bi3+ in Y3+ sites promoted a distortion into the orthorhombic structure and modified Fe-O-Fe angles and octahedral tilt. In addition, it promoted a ferromagnetic (FM) order, which was attributed to both the crystal distortion and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. For doped samples, an increase in real permittivity values was observed, and reduced with the increase of frequency. This in good agreement with the Maxwell-Wagner effect.

Experimental Findings

High-energy ball-milling in hexane medium was employed to prepare Nobel Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) alloy of three different nominal compositions Zr47Be23Ni15Ti15, Zr50Be20Ni15Ti15 and Zr52Be18Ni15Ti15, numbers indicate at.%). The glass forming ability was found to increase with decreasing Zr and increasing Be content, which can be ascribed to the enhanced atomic size mismatch of the constituents on Be addition. Amorphous Zr47Be23Ni15Ti15 powder undergoes two-stage crystallization with onset temperatures at 640 and 700 K and glass transition temperature Tg at 566 K. In contrast, the Zr50Be20Ni15Ti15 and Zr52Be18Ni15Ti15 samples remained crystalline to a certain extent even after prolonged milling and contained FCC Zr crystallites. Structural characterization was done by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, thermal analyses were performed by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermogram to justify the experimental findings.
