The structure and magnetic properties of Fe/Si nanoparticle prepared by high energy milling process have been examined, focusing on the phase transition. Fe/Si nanoparticles were processed by high energy milling (HEM) for 10 hours to 50 hours with a weight per cent ratio of 9:1. Based on the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis, the phase transition induced by HEM, were evidenced. The effect of structural state and the particle size on the magnetic properties such as magnetization was also studied. It was found that iron and iron oxides (-Fe2O3/ Fe3O4) phase were exhibited on all milled samples. The magnetization value of Fe/Si nanoparticles increased up to 20 hours with 142 emu/gr saturated magnetization and then decreased linearly with increasing milling time. Referring to the XRD result, this decline was initially caused by the iron oxide formation and magnetic interaction between iron and iron oxides nanoparticles. The phase and magnetic properties value changes related to the interaction mechanism between Fe atoms caused by interstitial occupied of Si atoms, particle size reduction, and oxidation process.

Magnesium hydride, despite the decomposition temperature being incompatible with the operating temperature of a typical PEM cell, is still considered a prospective material for hydrogen storage. Hence, this paper presents new aspects of the influence of milling time on the structural changes and temperature of MgH2 decomposition, with particular emphasis on the changes taking place in the first few seconds of the milling process. This paper presents qualitative and quantitative changes in the powder particle morphology determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared particle size analysis (IPS) systems. The crystallographic structure of the powders in the initial state and after mechanical milling was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The decomposition temperature and activation energy were determined by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Changes in the activation energy and decomposition temperature were observed after only 1–2 min of the milling process. Two basic stages of the milling process were distinguished that impacted the MgH2 decomposition temperature, i.e., mechanical activation and a nanostructuring process. The activation was associated with the initial stage of particle size reduction and an increase in the fraction of fresh chemically active powder particle surfaces. On the other hand, the nanostructuring process was related to an additional decrease in the MgH2 decomposition temperature.

The electrochemical properties of LiFePO4 as a cathode of lithium ion batteries considerably depend on a particle size of LiFePO4 and a condition of carbon coating. In this study, LiFePO4 powders were prepared using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method, and then LiFePO4/C composites were made by infiltrating sucrose solution into LiFePO4 powders, drying, high-energy milling and annealing. The effects of high-energy milling were analyzed by comparing with electrochemical properties of powders synthesized without high-energy milling. It was found that the milling process drastically reduced the particle size of synthesized powders and electrical conductivity, and improved discharge capacity, cycle stability and rate performance.

The structural-phase composition, magnetic and microwave properties of Fex(SiO2)1-x (x=30, 70, 90, 95) nanocomposites have been studied. The composites are produced by high-energy ball milling with either Ar or acetone as a milling medium and milling time of 1 to 64 h. The microwave magnetic properties of the composite in the frequency range of 0.1 to 6 GHz are shown to depend slightly on the phase composition and be governed mainly by the particle size. Reduction of the particle size to about 1 μm results in elimination of magnetic loss at frequencies below 1 GHz, which is attributed to the domain walls motion.

During production of cemented carbides hard and brittle tungsten carbide (WC) and ductile metal powders (mainly from Fe-group) are milled together. Complete milling results in a Gaussian distribution and narrow particle size range of the milled powder which promote the homogeneity and improve the properties of sintered composites. Cobalt, conventional metal employed in cemented carbides, possesses good comminution characteristics with WC powder. However, its toxicity and fluctuating price pushes researchers to find suitable alternatives and Fe-based alloys have shown most promising results. Cemented carbides with the Fe-Cr system as metal binder phase have potential to perform better than regular WC-Co composites in corrosive and oxidative environments. The goal of this paper was to prepare uniform cemented carbides powders with relatively high fraction of stainless Fe-Cr steel. To achieve a uniform powder mixture is a challenge at high ductile steel fraction. High energy milling (HEM) is a powerful technique for achieving (ultra) fine powder mixtures with narrow powder size range. HEM was carried out in a novel high energy ball mill RETSCH Emax. Milling in tumbling ball mill, which is the most widely used method, was employed for reference. Prepared powder mixtures were characterised in terms of particle size, size distribution and shape. In addition, powder mixtures were consolidated via spark plasma sintering to evaluate the effect of the milling method and the duration on the microstructure of final cemented carbide.

Porous Ti-Nb alloys are promising candidates for biomedical applications. In the present study, alloy powders containing 60 wt-% Nb were prepared by high-energy milling of Nb, Ti, and/or TiH2 powders. The high-energy milling process was carried out in a planetary ball mill. The starting and as-milled materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Elemental (Nb, and Ti) and TiH2 powder mixtures with composition Nb-40wt%Ti were mechanically alloyed for 2 to 30 h. The formation of a BCC Nb(Ti) solid solution by high-energy milling using elemental Ti powder to produce Nb-40Ti was observed after milling for 30 h. A HCP-Ti solid solution was formed after milling for 30 h due to the partial decomposition of titanium hydride powder mixture during high-energy milling.

In this work, a novel method of mechano sol–gel auto-combustion has been developed for production of single phase nickel ferrite nanocrystalline powder, consisting of a sol–gel auto-combustion synthesis followed by a high energy milling process before calcination. Sol–gel auto-combustion was carried out using a gel including citric acid as a reductant and metal nitrates as oxidants. This gel exhibited a self-propagating behavior after ignition in air. The effects of the intermediate high energy milling on the physical properties of the final product after calcination were investigated. The results showed that with a high energy milling of the sol–gel auto-combusted powders with a ball-to-powder mass ratio of 20 for 20 h, the temperature of calcination for synthesis of the single phase ferrite reduced from 1000°C to 700°C and the size of the ferrite crystallites decreased from 72 nm to 15 nm.
