High energy ball milling was performed on a mixture of titanium and aluminum elemental powders with a composition of Ti -48(at.%) Al . Stearic acid was added to this powder mixture as a process control agent (PCA) to study its effect on the microstructure evolution and crystallite size of the milled powder after various milling times. Phase compositions and morphology of the milled powders were evaluated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Crystallite sizes of milled powders were determined by Cauchy-Gaussian approach using XRD profiles. It was shown that addition of 1wt.% of stearic acid not only minimizes the adhesion of milling product to the vial and balls, but also reduces its crystallite sizes. It has also a marked effect on the morphology of the final product.

Pure Al particles reinforced with amorphous-nanocrystalline Cu36Zr48Ag8Al8 particles composite powders were prepared by high-energy milling without and with ethanol. The mechanical milling procedures were compared so that in the case of dry milling the particle size increased owing to cold welding, but the crystallite size decreased below 113 nm. The amorphous phase disappeared and was not developed until 30 h of milling time. Using ethanol as a process control agent, the particle size did not increase, while the amorphous fraction increased to 15 wt.%. Ethanol decomposed to carbon dioxide, water, and ethane. Its addition was necessary to increase the amount of the amorphous structure.
