Nano-sized intermetallic powders have received great attention owing to their property advantages over conventional micro-sized counterparts. In the present study nano-sized MoSi 2 powder has been produced successfully from commercially available MoSi 2 (3 μm) by a mechanical milling process carried out for a period of 100 hours. The effects of milling time on size and morphology of the powders were studied by SEM and TEM and image analyzing system. The results indicate that the as-received micrometric powder with a wide size distribution of irregular shaped morphology changes to a narrow size distribution of nearly equiaxed particles with the progress of attrition milling up to 100 h, reaching an average particle size of 71 nm. Structural evolution of milled samples was characterized by XRD to determine the crystallite size and lattice microstrain using Williamson-Hall method. According to the results, the crystallite size of the powders decreases continuously down to 23 nm with increasing milling time up to 100 h and this size refinement is more rapid at the early stages of the milling process. On the other hand, the lattice strain increases considerably with milling up to 65 h and further milling causes no significant changes of lattice strain.

The milling process carried out in speed of 350 rpm, with 20:1 ball to powder weight ratio and under argon protective atmosphere. A continuous cooling system applied to avoid increasing temperature during the milling. The effect of milling time on structural and magnetic properties investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and vibration sample magnetometer. According to the obtained results, nanostructured Fe65Co35 solid solution powders resulted with an average particle size of 400 nm and crystallite size of 6.8 nm by milling for 20 hours. With increasing the milling time, the lattice parameter decreased and the lattice strain increased for Fe65Co35 powders. The maximum saturation magnetization with 1311 emu/cc value and the minimum coercivity with 22 Oe value occurs after milling for 15 hours.

Amorphous Content

Nanocrystalline/amorphous powder was produced by ball milling of Ti50Cu25Ni20Sn5 (at.%) master alloy. Both laser diffraction particle size analyzer and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to monitor the changes in the particle size as well as in the shape of particles as a function of milling time. During ball milling, the average particle size decreased with milling time from >320 µm to ~38 µm after 180 min of milling. The deformation-induced hardening and phase transformation caused the hardness value to increase from 506 to 779 HV. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to observe the changes in the phases/amorphous content as a function of milling time. The amount of amorphous fraction increased continuously until 120 min milling (36 wt % amorphous content). The interval of crystallite size was between 1 and 10 nm after 180 min of milling with 25 wt % amorphous fractions. Cubic Cu(Ni,Cu)Ti2 structure was transformed into the orthorhombic structure owing to the shear/stress, dislocations, and Cu substitution during the milling process.

The microstructural evolution and powder particle morphology change in the process used to synthesize bulk nanostructured γ- TiAl intermetallic based binary Ti -47 Al (in at%) alloy (TA-1) and complex Ti -45 Al -2 Cr -2 Nb -1 B -0.5 Ta (in at%) alloy (TA-2) have been studied. This process combines high energy mechanical milling of elemental powder mixtures, thermal treatment and HIP. The bulk alloys consist of predominantly TiAl phase and a small fraction of Ti 3 Al phase, with the average grain sizes of the TiAl and Ti 3 Al phases being approximately 45nm and 40nm respectively in the bulk TA-1 alloy and being 37nm and 35nm respectively in the bulk TA-2 alloy. The study also shows that addition of a small fraction of hard powder particles such as Nb , Cr , B and Ta powder particles to the starting powder mixture has a significant effect in maintaining a small average particle size during high energy mechanical milling without using PCA and thus significantly enhances the mechanical alloying effect of the milling process.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles codoped with Co2+ and Mn2+ ions (Zn(1−x−y)MnxCoyO NPs) were obtained for the first time by microwave solvothermal synthesis. The nominal content of Co2+ and Mn2+ in Zn(1−x−y)MnxCoyO NPs was x = y = 0, 1, 5, 10 and 15 mol % (the amount of both ions was equal). The precursors were obtained by dissolving zinc acetate dihydrate, manganese (II) acetate tetrahydrate and cobalt (II) acetate tetrahydrate in ethylene glycol. The morphology, phase purity, lattice parameters, dopants content, skeleton density, specific surface area, average particle size, average crystallite size, crystallite size distribution and magnetic properties of NPs were determined. The real content of dopants was up to 25.0% for Mn2+ and 80.5% for Co2+ of the nominal content. The colour of the samples changed from white to dark olive green in line with the increasing doping level. Uniform spherical NPs with wurtzite structure were obtained. The average size of NPs decreased from 29 nm to 21 nm in line with the increase in the dopant content. Brillouin type paramagnetism and an antiferromagnetic interaction between the magnetic ions was found for all samples, except for that with 15 mol % doping level, where a small ferromagnetic contribution was found. A review of the preparation methods of Co2+ and Mn2+ codoped ZnO is presented.

Melt-spun metallic Al86Ni9La5 glassy ribbons solidified at different circumferential speeds (Sc) were subjected to high-energy ball milling at room and cryogenic temperatures. Crystallization induced by milling was found in the Al86Ni9La5 solidified at lower circumferential speed (Sc = 14.7 m/s), while the Al86Ni9La5 with Sc = 36.6 m/s kept amorphous. Besides, a trend of structural rejuvenation during milling process was observed, as the onset temperatures (Tx1, Tx2) and the crystallization enthalpies (ΔH1, ΔH2) first decreased and then increased along with the milling time. We explored the structural origin of crystallization by ab initio molecular dynamic simulations and found that the tricapped trigonal prism (TTP) Ni-centered clusters with a higher frequency in samples solidified at a lower cooling rate, which tend to link into medium-range orders (MROs), may promote crystallization by initiating the shear bands during milling. Based on the deformation mechanism and crush of metallic glasses, we presented a qualitative model to explain the structural rejuvenation during milling.

Influence Of Ph

The aim of the work was to examine the influence of pH, high power ultrasound, surfactant and dopant quantity on the particle size distribution of ZrO2:Pr3+, with praseodymium content varying between 0.05 and 10 %. The nanopowders were obtained via a hydrothermal microwave driven process. To establish if the dopant was located on the surface of the zirconia nanoparticles, the particle size distribution, as a function of pH, was measured to obtain an estimate of the isoelectric point of the samples. All results indicated that the dopant was concentrated on the surface: the measurements of the particle size distribution show that the pH corresponding to maximum average particle size changes towards higher values when the Pr content increases. Measurements of the particle size distribution dependency on the application of high power ultrasound and the addition of the sodium dodecyl sulphate surfactant show that, under certain conditions, there is a better stabilisation of the nanopowders in a dispersion and undesirable agglomeration is hindered.

Electromagnetic Effect

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of strontium hexa-ferrite average particle size and structural characteristics changes during milling process. Coarse strontium hexaferrite was milled in beater mill, without and with electromagnetic effect. Electromagnetic effect was produced by constant and alternating gradient magnetic fields with mutually perpendicular induction lines. Particle sizes were measured by microscopic methods, and structural characteristics were calculated by processing of X-ray diffractograms. Diffraction studies showed that during milling process, both with and without electromagnetic effect, the most intensive changes of coherent scattering region (CSR) sizes, dislocation densities and relative deformation of particulate material occur at earlier stage of milling. At this stage the speed of average particle size decrease is maximal. At later stage both average particle size and structural characteristic changes correlate and have asymptotic character.

Fe2O3/C nanocomposites were successfully synthesized using microwave assisted calcination method. Ferric (III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl36H2O), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and dextrose monohydrate (C6H12O6H2O) were used as precursors. A microwave oven of 2.445 GHz with a power of 600 W for 20 minutes was employed during the syntheses. Calcination was performed in a simple furnace at 350 °C for 30 min. The molar ratio of C:Fe is the only process parameter. From Scanning Electron Microscope images, the average particle size were 199 nm and 74 nm for the samples with molar ratio of C:Fe of 1:2 and 1:1, respectively. X-ray diffractometer spectra showed that the obtained samples have γ-Fe2O3 (maghemite) crystal structure. Using the Scherrer method, the crystallite size were 61.7, 58.8, 52.5, and 48.8 nm for the samples with the molar ratios of C:Fe of 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1, respectively. It means that the crystallite size of the nanocomposite decreases with the increase of the molar ratio of carbon to iron (C:Fe). The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller characterization showed that the surface area as high as 255.6 m2/g is achieved by of the Fe2O3/C nanocomposite with the molar ratio of C:Fe of 1:1.

Nickel powder was dry-milled using a high-energy disc-oscillating mill. The average particle size increases and the specific surface area diminishes with milling time. Crystallite size decreases and microstrains increase, under the same conditions, as shown by X-ray analysis. At 120 min milling time, the crystallite size has a value of 17 nm, i.e., a nanostructured powder, with a perturbed lattice, is obtained. The above results have been compared with published data about the effects of milling on a ceramic powder. There is, in both cases, a general agreement concerning the changes produced in crystallite size. Nevertheless, opposite results are reached regarding particle size and specific surface area.
