Due to the increased consumption of raw materials, energy, and the waste it generates, recycling has become very important and fundamental for the environment and the industrial sector. The production of duplex stainless–steel powders with the addition of vanadium carbide in the high energy mechanical milling process is a new method for recycling materials for the manufacture of components in the industrial sector. This study aims to reuse the chips from the duplex stainless–steel UNS S31803 by powder metallurgy with the addition of Vanadium carbide (VC). The mechanical milling was performed using a planetary ball mill for 50 h at a milling speed of 350 rpm and a ball-to-powder weight ratio of 20:1, and the addition of 3 wt % of VC. The material submitted to milling with an addition of carbide has a particle size of less than 140 μm. After milling, the sample went through a stress relief treatment performed at 1050 °C for 1 h and the isostatic compaction process loaded with 300 MPa. The sintered powders and material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and micro-hardness tests. The milling process with an addition of 3% VC produced a particle size smaller than the initial chip size. The measurement of micrometric sizes obtained was between 26 and 132 μm. The sintered material had a measurement of porosity evaluated at 15%. The obtained density of the material was 84% compared to the initial density of the material as stainless–steel duplex UNS S31803. The value of the microhardness measurement was 232 HV. The material submitted for grinding presented the formation of a martensitic structure and after the thermal treatment, the presence of ferrite and austenite phases was observed. Thus, in conclusion, this study demonstrates the efficacy in the production of a metal-ceramic composite using a new method to recycle stainless–steel duplex UNS S31803 chips.

The aim of this study was to provide an experimental investigation on the novel method for recycling chips of duplex stainless steel, with the addition of vanadium carbide, in order to produce metal/carbide composites from a high-energy mechanical milling process. Powders of duplex stainless steel with the addition of vanadium carbide were prepared by high-energy mechanical ball milling utilizing a planetary ball mill. For this proposal, experiments following a full factorial design with two replicates were planned, performed, and then analyzed. The four factors investigated in this study were rotation speed, milling time, powder to ball weight ratio and carbide percentage. For each factor, the experiments were conducted into two levels so that the internal behavior among them could be statistically estimated: 250 to 350 rpm for rotation speed, 10 to 50 h for milling time, 10:1 to 22:1 for powder to ball weight ratio, and 0 to 3% carbide percentage. In order to measure and characterize particle size, we utilized the analysis of particle size and a scanning electron microscopy. The results showed with the addition of carbide in the milling process cause an average of reduction in particle size when compared with the material without carbide added. All the four factors investigated in this study presented significant influence on the milling process of duplex stainless steel chips and the reduction of particle size. The statistical analysis showed that the addition of carbide in the process is the most influential factor, followed by the milling time, rotation speed and powder to ball weight ratio. Significant interaction effects among these factors were also identified.

The Nyodimium-Iron-Boron (Nd-Fe-B) based materials are known as the best type of magnetic materials and it contains a magnetic phase Nd2Fe14B. The Nd-Fe-B alloy Flakes is one of the main raw material for producing of NdFeB-based permanent magnets and the size of Nd-Fe-B flakes are still coarse. Synthesis of Nd2Fe14B powder has been done by a wet mechanical milling method using the High Energy Milling (HEM) for 10 hrs and continued by heating at 600°C in vacuum condition (10-4 Pa). This process is used to produce a fine powder Nd2Fe14B for making of permanent magnets. The milling medium was used a toluene (pa-Emerck)) to protect of particle from oxidation during the milling process. After milling processes, the samples were measured distribution particle size by using Particle Size Analyzer (PSA). Microstructure analysis has been conducted by using X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM/EDX) for samples before milling and sample after heating. The characterization results show that after milling 10 hours, it was obtained fine powder with average size about 1.35 μm. According to SEM/EDX and XRD analysis show that the crystal structure of the sample before milling was different compared to the sample after heating. It is found new magnetic phase with formula Nd2Fe14B.

The synthesis of graphite nanoparticles at ambient temperature by high energy mechanical milling is modelled using ANN (Artificial Neural Network). The effect of milling time on the evolution of particle size, inclusion, microstructure and morphology were examined using XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). ANN was effectively used to predict the influence of milling time on particle size and to forecast the milling time for the formation of nanoparticles. XRD results of investigation revealed change in strain behaviour of graphite particles of different sizes when heat treated.

This paper presents a study on the effect of milling speed on the synthesis of Cu-WC nanocomposites by mechanical alloying (MA). The Cu-WC nanocomposite with nominal composition of 25 vol.% of WC was produced in-situ via MA from elemental powders of copper (Cu), tungsten (W), and graphite (C). These powders were milled in the high-energy “Pulverisette 6” planetary ball mill according to composition Cu-34.90 wt% W-2.28 wt% C. The powders were milled in different milling speed; 400 rpm, 500 rpm, and 600 rpm. The milling process was conducted under argon atmosphere by using a stainless steel vial and 10 mm diameter of stainless steel balls, with ball-to-powder weight ratio (BPR) 10:1. The as-milled powders were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). XRD result showed the formation of W2C phase after milling for 400 rpm and as the speed increased, the peak was broadened. No WC phase was detected after milling. Increasing the milling speed resulted in smaller crystallite size of Cu and proven to be in nanosized. Based on SEM result, higher milling speed leads to the refinement of hard W particles in the Cu matrix. Up to the 600 rpm, the unreacted W particles still existed in the matrix showing 20 hours milling time was not sufficient to completely dissolve the W.

Utilization of HEM (high energy milling) technique for growth of CNT (carbon nanotube) from graphite powders by using Ni as catalyst was carried out. Milling process performed on a mixture of graphite powder and nickel powder (Ni-C powders) with the ratio of weight percent of 98%: 2%, with a variation of milling time between 25 up to 75 hours. Characterization using PSA (Powder Size Analyzer), SAA (Surface Area Analyzer), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and Raman Spectroscopy performed to obtain information about particle size, surface area, morphology and the structure bonding of the milled powder respectively. The analysis results of Ni-C powders using PSA and SAA showed the smallest particle size and biggest surface area obtained after milling process for 50 hours, i.e. 80 nm and 705 m2/g, respectively. TEM observations revealed formation of flat fibers which quantity increased with increasing milling time. This flattened fiber behave as an initiator for the growth of CNTs. Ni-C powder milling for 50 hours results more clearly show the growth of CNTs. Analysis by Raman Spectroscopy showed two bands at 1582 cm−1 as a peak of G band and at 1350 cm-1 as a peak of D band. These spectra are typical for sp2 structure. The position of G band peak is close to 1600 cm-1 as the evidence of a change to nano-crystalline graphite. The highest intensity of D band shown in the milling process for 50 hours, which indicates that this milling time produces more graphite-like structure compared to other conditions, and is predicted good for growing CNTs. AbstrakPemanfaatan teknik HEM (High Energy Milling) untuk penumbuhan CNT (carbon nanotube) dari serbuk grafit dengan menggunakan Ni sebagai katalis. Proses milling dilakukan terhadap campuran serbuk grafit dan serbuk nikel (serbuk Ni-C) dengan perbandingan berat 98% : 2%, dengan variasi waktu milling antara 25-75 jam. Karakterisasi menggunakan fasilitas PSA (Particle Size Analyzer), SAA (Surface Area Analyzer), dan TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) serta Raman Spektroscopy yang masing-masingnya untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang ukuran partikel, luas permukaan dan morfologi serta struktur ikatan serbuk hasil milling. Hasil analisis serbuk Ni-C dengan PSA dan SAA menunjukkan ukuran partikel paling kecil dan luas permukaan paling besar diperoleh setelah proses milling selama 50 jam, masing-masing 80 nm dan 705 m2/g. Pengamatan TEM menunjukkan serbuk-serbuk berbentuk serat pipih dengan kuantitas yang meningkat dengan bertambahnya waktu milling. Serat pipih ini perupakan cikal bakal penumbuhan CNT. Serbuk Ni-C hasil milling menunjukkan penumbuhan CNT terlihat lebih jelas setelah milling selama 50 jam. Hasil analisis dengan Raman Spectroscopy memperlihatkan puncak G band pada bilangan gelombang 1582 cm−1 yang merupakan spektrum untuk struktur sp2 dari grafit dan puncak D band pada bilangan gelombang 1350 cm-1 yang mungkin merupakan deformasi struktur grafit. Posisi puncak G band mendekati 1600 cm-1 menjadi bukti perubahan ke grafit nano kristal. Intensitas D band tertinggi ditunjukkan oleh sistem komposit Ni-C hasil proses milling selama 50 jam dan hal ini sebagai indikasi bahwa proses milling selama 50 jam terhadap sistem komposit Ni-C lebih berstruktur mirip grafit (graphitic-like material) dibanding kondisi lainnya dan diprediksi bagus untuk menumbuhkan CNT. Dengan demikian, waktu milling yang optimal untuk penumbuhan CNT dari serbuk grafit dengan menggunakan Ni sebagai katalis adalah adalah 50 jam.

Duplex stainless steels (DSSs) possess a typical biphasic microstructure consisting of equal amount of ferrite and austenite, which provides better combination of the mechanical and corrosion properties compared to the austenitic grade. Despite their good processability, they suffer from embrittlement of secondary phases in a very specific temperature range 450 – 1000°C depending on the composition. Solubilizing treatment after processing is required to obtain a perfect balance between austenite and ferrite and moreover, to dissolve any secondary phases that could have been formed during processing. This implies very high energy consumption of forming processes due to a high temperature (above 1000°C) or high power needed for the forming machines. The electroplastic effect could be used to reduce the force needed to form the material and extend the forming limits. The effect consists in direct interaction between the electrons of the electrical current and the ions of the material. The current mode (e.g., continuous current, pulsed current, pulse duration and duty cycle) plays an important role in the occurrence and the extent of the electroplastic effect. The electroplastic effect is investigated under tension in two-phase duplex stainless steel UNS S32205. Tensile tests under different current conditions (current density and frequency) are compared to room temperature tests. The best effect in terms of reduction of the ultimate tensile strength and increase in the fracture strain is achieved by introducing a multi-pulse current with the maximum density and pulse duration.

Abstract In this research, effect of the various mechanical milling process on morphology and microstructural changes of nano and micron Al-powders was studied. The milling of Al-powders was performed by both high energy and low energy ball milling process. The influence of milling (pulverizing) energy on the structural changes of Al-powders was studied. Al-nanoparticles were agglomerated during the MA and its size was increased with increasing milling while micron Al-powder gets flattened shape during high energy ball milling due to severe plastic deformation. Meanwhile, structural evolution during high energy ball milling of the nano powder occurred faster than that of the micron powder. A slight shift in the position of X-ray diffraction peaks was observed in nano Al-powders but it was un-altered in macro Al-powders. The variation in lattice parameters was observed only for nano Al powders during the high energy ball milling due to lattice distortion.
