In-situ X-ray diffraction examination of nanocrystalline Ag37Cu63 powders synthesized by mechanical alloying

Some years ago a new process was developed for the elaboration of alloys in order to overcome drawbacks observed in samples produced by conventional casting. In the present work are shown the results obtained by high energy mechanical milling for Cu-Al-Ni. the mechanical alloying powder Cu84Al12Ni4 (W%) was fabricated in high energy planetary ball milling at a speed of 250 r/min for various milling times (10 20 30 40 50 60 hours) the weight ratio of the balls of powder was 15 to 1. this mechanical alloying process is significantly modifying the characteristic of the powder, the recovered grains are ultimately compacted. The means used to study the different evolution are SEM Scaning Electron Microscopy, Differential thermal analysis DTA, X-ray Diffraction analysis and DRX in situ.

Good Agreement

The combustion reaction while mechanical alloying (MA) the Al–Ti–C system has been detected by in situ thermal analysis and the results of x-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on the information provided by in situ thermal analysis, the reaction temperature is estimated to be 1677 K, which is in good agreement with the value of the adiabatic temperature of 1700 K. It is considered that the formation reaction of Ti–C, which ignited by the heavy collisions of milling balls, induced the following reaction between Ti and Al at high temperature.

Small Crystallite

Milling process through mechanical alloying method was performed on a powder mixture of Fe-80.11 wt%, Nb-17.62 wt% and C-2.26 wt% to produce Fe-NbC composite by in situ reaction. Ball to powder weight ratio parameter was selected since formation of phase and microstructure characteristics of this composite were expected to depend on ball collision event during milling. The as-milled and sintered Fe-NbC was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM). We found that formation of Fe-NbC by in situ required mechanical alloying of the mixture using 10:1 of ball to powder weight ratio to achieve small crystallite size and more homogeneous of NbC phase.

Scanning Electron

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

Complete Homogenization

FeAl20Si20 (wt.%) powders prepared by mechanical alloying from different initial feedstock materials (Fe, Al, Si, FeAl27) were investigated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation techniques were used to analyze microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties (hardness and Young’s modulus). Finite element model was developed to account for the decrease in measured values of mechanical properties of powder particles with increasing penetration depth caused by surrounding soft resin used for embedding powder particles. Progressive homogenization of the powders’ microstructure and an increase of hardness and Young’s modulus with milling time were observed and the time for complete homogenization was estimated.
