In this work, a blend of Ti, Nb, and Mn powders, with a nominal composition of 15 wt.% of Mn, and balanced Ti and Nb wt.%, was selected to be mechanically alloyed by the following two alternative high-energy milling devices: a vibratory 8000D mixer/mill® and a PM400 Retsch® planetary ball mill. Two ball-to-powder ratio (BPR) conditions (10:1 and 20:1) were applied, to study the evolution of the synthesized phases under each of the two mechanical alloying conditions. The main findings observed include the following: (1) the sequence conversion evolved from raw elements to a transitory bcc-TiNbMn alloy, and subsequently to an fcc-TiNb15Mn alloy, independent of the milling conditions; (2) the total full conversion to the fcc-TiNb15Mn alloy was only reached by the planetary mill at a minimum of 12 h of milling time, for either of the BPR employed; (3) the planetary mill produced a non-negligible Fe contamination from the milling media, when the highest BPR and milling time were applied; and (4) the final fcc-TiNb15Mn alloy synthesized presents a nanocrystalline nature and a partial degree of amorphization.

The paper presents the results of a computational study of the influence of the geometry of the working chamber on the energy-force interaction of grinding bodies in the process of the mixture processing in a planetary mill. The method of computer simulation, using the software system, based on the ideology of discrete elements, shows the high efficiency of processing in a planetary mill, using a working chamber with a square-shaped cavity. The values of the factors that have a dominant influence on the mechanical processing of the charge are determined. A comparison with the process of processing in the working chamber of the traditional cylindrical shape is made. The research results will be used in the appointment of large-size charge processing regimes that provide a high-energy grinding process.

The interaction between a solid inert metal Ir and an active liquid metal Ga during mechanical activation in a high-energy planetary mill is studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with high-resolution energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The effect of mechanical activation on the formation of GaxIry intermetallic compounds and GaxIry/Ir composites and their solubility in acids was investigated. The subsequent extraction of Ga from intermetallic compounds and composites in the mixture of concentrated acids [Formula: see text] makes it possible to produce nanoscale Ir.

Perovskite BiFeO3 and YMnO3 are both multiferroic materials with distinctive magnetoelectric coupling phenomena. Owing to this, the Y1−xBix Mn1−xFexO3 solid solution seems to be a promising system, though poorly studied. This is due to the metastable nature of the orthorhombic perovskite phase of YMnO3 at ambient pressure, and to the complexity of obtaining pure rhombohedral phases for BiFeO3-rich compositions. In this work, nanocrystalline powders across the whole perovskite system were prepared for the first time by mechanosynthesis in a high-energy planetary mill, avoiding high pressure and temperature routes. Thermal decomposition temperatures were determined, and structural characterization was carried out by X-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy on thermally treated samples of enhanced crystallinity. Two polymorphic phases with orthorhombic Pnma and rhombohedral R3c h symmetries, and their coexistence over a wide compositional range were found. A gradual evolution of the lattice parameters with the composition was revealed for both phases, which suggests the existence of two continuous solid solutions. Following bibliographic data for BiFeO3, first order ferroic phase transitions were located by differential thermal analysis in compositions with x ≥ 0.9. Furthermore, an orthorhombic-rhombohedral structural evolution across the ferroelectric transition was characterized with temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction.

Superior properties of nanostructured Al2O3 based materials, such as higher hardness and fracture toughness, have been evidenced. In order to optimize their manufacturing, the mechanical activation of the starting powders (Al2O3-TiO2 and Al2O3-ZrO2) was studied. In the present work, Al2O3 powders blended with 13wt% and 44wt% of titania or 20wt% and 80wt% of yttria partially stabilized zirconia have been high-energy ball-milled using a planetary mill, P4 (Fritsch) with steel vials and balls. The effect of the milling time and operating parameters, such as shock energy and friction to total energy ratio, on the powder structural and microstructural evolutions has been determined by SEM, XRD and BET. The transformation of the metastable anatase TiO2 phase into the high pressure TiO2 II phase and rutile phase was evidenced, simultaneously to the decrease of the alumina crystallite size, in the Al2O3-TiO2 system. In the Al2O3-ZrO2 system, the transformation of the monoclinic phase and the decrease of the alumina and tetragonal zirconia crystallite size have been observed.

The Ir-Al powder in the 1:1 atomic ratio was obtained by high energy mechanical alloying in a Pulverisette 4 Fritch planetary mill. The final product was obtained after 28 h of milling in argon atmosphere. Alloy formation was investigated by X-ray diffraction. After 4 h of milling the new structure of IrAl compound is found in the diffraction patterns. The obtained powders are nanocrystalline with a mean crystallite size of 11 nm after 28 h of milling. The particle morphology and the chemical homogeneity were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDX). It was found that the obtained compound present large particles composed by smaller one.

The aim of the present work is to produce new types of solid nanomaterials for different purposes (coatings, fillers, foams, bulk pieces, etc.). Technologies such as RS Al flake production, high energy mechanical milling and high energy rate forming technology (HERF) for compacting are used. The products are analyzed mainly by XRD, SEM and TEM methods. It was shown that the new-type of RS Al “flake” material is suitable not only for pigments but also for powder metallurgical purposes, i.e. Al based nanocomposites. By choosing suitable parameters for mechanical alloying with the Fritsch Planetary mill 4, very fine, alloyed and composited nanostructures can be produced (Al-4.5w%Cu- 10w%Al2O3, Al-15w%Pb) Dynamic compaction (HERF) using explosive techniques seems to offer a good way for the compaction of Al (metal) matrix nanostructured composites.

In this work, the piezoelectric material system of Pb (Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramics were synthesized by conventional solid state via high energy planetary mill reaction. This process were chosen in order to skip the calcinations and implement a single firing process which very effective to reduce the possibility of PbO loss. The effect of sintering parameters on structural behavior of pure PZT ceramic was discussed in detail. Comprehensive studies have been carried out in order get optimum parameter for sintering process, thus improved the performance of the pure PZT ceramics. Grain size properties of Pb (Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 ceramics increased with increasing the sintering temperature and duration. However longer sintering condition (1200 °C, 3 hours) causes excessive PbO loss which leads to presence new phases in XRD analysis, promote grain growth behavior with inhomogenous microstructure and tend to have more pores.

Biphasic calcium phosphate powders (BCP) of hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) with the various ratio of HA to β-TCP were prepared by utilizing mechanochemical synthesis. Calcium hydrogen-phosphate dihydrate (brushite, CaHPO4⋅2H2O) and calcium carbonate (calcite, CaCO3) powders have been chosen as the starting materials. The original Ca/P ratio of CaHPO4⋅2H2O - CaCO3 batch was set to be 1.67. A mixture of starting materials was milled using a planetary mill (ZrO2 jar and balls) with water for 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 hrs. The XRD study of calcined powders was conducted for phase identification and for HA/β-TCP ratio as well. The phases of the calcined powders were HA and β-TCP, and the HA/β-TCP ratio varied with the milling time. The mass fraction of HA and β-TCP phases was calculated from the XRD intensities of HA and β-TCP. The ratio of the mixture milled for 4 hrs and calcined at 900°C was 85(HA):15(β-TCP) (BCP 85/15) and the content of β-TCP increased with the milling time. It is believed defective HA powder formed at relatively short period of milling time (less than 3 hrs The research revealed that nanocrystalline BCP powders could be synthesized by an employment of a medium-high energy mechanical activation at room temperatures (~25°C) without any preliminary chemical processing.
