Mechanical alloying, a high-energy ball-milling technique, is now widely used for preparing alloy powders with metastable phases (crystalline or amorphous). The technique, however, may contaminate the powder with material eroded from the vial and milling media. We report on the analysis and effects of iron contamination on Al25Ge75 powders that we prepared by mechanically alloying mixtures of aluminum and germanium powders, using different mechanical alloying apparatuses.

The high energy ball milling of Ni-50 atom % Si elemental powder mixtures was carried out using a planetary mill. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phase evolutions during the high energy ball milling period. The microstructure morphology of the powders milled different time was determined by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The beginning time of mechanical alloying was determined by back scattered electrons (BSE) images. The XRD patterns showed that the nickel peaks intensity and the silicon peaks intensity obviously decreased with milling time increased to 1 hour. BSE images revealed that nickel and silicon powders were not blended uniformly for 1 hour of milling. It was found that NiSi formed as the milling time increased to 5 hours, simultaneously, the nickel peaks and the silicon peaks almost disappeared. That means the obvious mechanical alloying started from 5 hours of milling. BSE images agreed with the result analyzed from XRD patterns. With the milling time further increased from 10 to 75 hours, the NiSi peaks decreased gradually, at the same time, the Ni2Si peaks appeared and then increased gradually.

Mg17Al12and rare earth improved Mg17Al12La0.45alloys were prepared by resistance melting method. The hydrogen sorption properties of the alloys with and without ball-milling process were investigated with the help of PCT measurements. The phase compositions of the experimental alloys were determined through powder X-Ray diffraction. It is found that the introduction of La and the high energy ball-milling technique could remarkably improve the hydrogen sorption capability of Mg17Al12. For Mg17Al12La0.45alloy, the hydrogen absorption starts at 473K and the hydridying rate increases at each temperature (573K, 523K, 473K) after high energy ball-milling process. The hydrogen desorption capacity of this alloy is 4wt% at 573K. XRD shows that there are two phases Mg17Al12and Al2La0.15Mg0.85after melting and Al2La0.15Mg0.85phase always exists during hydrogen sorption cycles of Mg17Al12La0.45.

ABSTRACTMechanical alloying represents a potential method for producing finely dispersed alloys of normally incompatible polymers. In this paper, PET and blends of PET with a Vectra thermotropic copolyester have been processed via high energy ball milling at room temperature (ambimilled) and at liquid nitrogen temperatures (cryomilled). Milled powders and compacted disks have been characterized using molecular weight, density and hardness measurements, aswell as DSC, WAXS, TEM and FTIR.
