AbstractThe in situ formation of TiB2particulates via an interface reaction between Ti and FeB powders was studied. The effects of mechanical activation by high-energy milling on the decomposition of TiH2and the interface reactions between Ti and FeB powders to form TiB2were investigated. Powder mixtures were fabricated using planetary ball-milling under various milling conditions. The specific ball-milling energy was calculated from the measured electrical power consumption during milling process. High specific milling energy (152.6 kJ/g) resulted in a size reduction and homogeneous dispersion of constituent powders. This resulted in a decrease in the decomposition temperature of TiH2and an increase in the formation reaction of TiB2particulates in the Fe matrix, resulting in a homogeneous microstructure of nanoscale TiB2evenly distributed within the Fe matrix. In contrast, the powder mixture milled with low specific milling energy (36.5 kJ/g) showed an inhomogeneous microstructure composed of relatively large Fe-Fe2B particles surrounded by a thin layer of Fe-TiB2within a finely dispersed Fe-TiB2matrix region.

This paper is a collection of selected contributions of the 1st International Workshop on Mechanochemistry of Metal Hydrides that was held in Oslo in May 2018. In this paper, the recent developments in the use of mechanochemistry to synthesize and modify metal hydrides are reviewed. A special emphasis is made on new techniques beside the traditional way of ball milling. High energy milling, ball milling under hydrogen reactive gas, cryomilling and severe plastic deformation techniques such as High-Pressure Torsion (HPT), Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) and cold rolling are discussed. The new characterization method of in-situ X-ray diffraction during milling is described.

The high energy mechanical alloying of a Ti–Ru–Fe powder mixture (atomic ratio 2 : 1: 1) has been performed by extensive ball-milling in a steel crucible. The structural evolution of the resulting materials has been studied by x-ray powder diffraction analysis. The identification of the various phases present in the materials, as well as the crystallite size and strain, has been performed by Rietveld refinement analysis. In the first stage of the material transformation, Ru or Fe atoms dissolved into Ti to yield to the formation of β–Ti. Upon further ball-milling, almost all the original constituents of the powder mixture have disappeared and a new simple cubic Ti2RuFe phase is formed, with a crystallite size as small as 8 nm. The electrochemical properties of these materials have been tested in a typical chlorate electrolyte by cold-pressing the powders into disk electrodes. At 20 h of ball-milling, where the phase concentration of Ti2RuFe reaches 96%, a reduction of the activation overpotential at 250 mA cm−2 of nearly 250 mV is observed when compared to that of a pure iron electrode.
