A New Technique

ABSTRACTA critical factor in the characterization of two-phase binary alloy systems is the determination of the phase fractions and compositions of the two coexisting solid solutions for any given overall composition of the two-phase mixture. In some systems, for example nanocrystalline alloys formed by high-energy ball-milling, these parameters are difficult to attain by traditional techniques like x-ray diffraction. A new technique has been developed to obtain these quantities indirectly from x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) data collected at the two relevant absorption edges, with the formulation of this technique presented here in detail. The technique has been tested using Fe-Ni fcc and bcc standards and the results indicate that the method is accurate to within 5%. This method has been applied to two-phase (f.c.c. and b.c.c.) binary alloys formed by ball-milling of Cu100-xFex(x = 50-80).

ABSTRACTWe investigated through X- ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy the crystal refinement of the intermetallic compound AIRu by high- energy ball milling. The deformation process causes a decrease of crystal size to 5–7 rum and an increase of atomic level strain. This deformation is localized in shear bands with a thickness of 0.5 to 1 micron. Within these bands the crystal lattice breaks into small grains with a typical size of 8–14 rum. Further deformation leads to a final nanocrystalline structure with randomly oriented crystallite grains separated by high- angle grain boundaries.

ABSTRACTAn X-ray absorption beamline has been developed recently at the electron storage ring of the LSU Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices. Using Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) and X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES), we have studied the local atomic environments in immiscible mixtures processed by high-energy ball milling, a mechanical alloying technique involving heavy deformation. By examining the local coordination and bond distances, it is concluded that atomic-level alloying can indeed be induced between Cu and Fe through milling at room temperature, forming substitutional fcc and bcc solid solutions. In addition to single-phase regions, a two-phase region consisting of fcc/bcc solutions has been found after milling at both room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature. In contrast to the Cu-Fe system, solid solution formation is not detectable in milled Ag-Fe and Cu-Ta mixtures. This work demonstrates the power of synchrotron EXAFS/XANES experiments in monitoring nonequilibrium alloying on the atomic level. At the same time, the results provide direct experimental evidence of the capability as well as limitations of high-energy ball milling to form alloys in positive-heat-of-mixing systems.

Induced Crystallization

Mechanically induced crystallization of an amorphous Fe90Zr10 alloy was studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Under high-energy ball-milling in an AGO-2 mill, melt-spun Fe90Zr10 ribbons undergo crystallization into BCC α- Fe(Zr). Zr atoms are found to be solved in the Fe(Zr) grains up to a maximum supersaturation of about 3.5 at.% Zr, where it can be presumed that the remaining Zr atoms are segregated in the grainboundaries. The decomposition degree of the amorphous phase increases with increasing milling time and intensity. It is proposed that the observed crystallization is deformation-induced and rather not attribute to local temperature rises during ball-collisions.

Amorphous Si

Amorphous Si-B-C-N ceramics obtained by high energy ball milling and hot pressing using hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), graphite (C) and amorphous Si as starting materials have been studied. The mechanical milling with high energy resulted in the generation of large amounts of amorphous composites only milled for 5 h. Si-B-C-N powders were consolidation by hot pressing at 1850 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that small amount of BN and SiC crystal lies in the amorphous matrix. The flexural strength reached the maximal value of 137.2 MPa at a mole ratio of BN/(Si+C) being 0.6.

Mechanochemical Reactions

Lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN) nanocrystals were prepared by ball-milling of the crucible residue of a Czochralski grown congruent single crystal, using a Spex 8000 Mixer Mill with different types of vials (stainless steel, alumina, tungsten carbide) and various milling parameters. Dynamic light scattering and powder X-ray diffraction were used to determine the achieved particle and grain sizes, respectively. Possible contamination from the vials was checked by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements. Milling resulted in sample darkening due to mechanochemical reduction of Nb (V) via polaron and bipolaron formation, oxygen release and Li2O segregation, while subsequent oxidizing heat-treatments recovered the white color with the evaporation of Li2O and crystallization of a LiNb3O8 phase instead. The phase transformations occurring during both the grinding and the post-grinding heat treatments were studied by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and optical reflection measurement, while the Li2O content of the as-ground samples was quantitatively measured by coulometric titration.

Cu-4% mixed-powder consisting of rough copper powder and graphite powder was separately mechanical alloyed by high-energy ball milling. The phases and micrograph of these powders were determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show an increase in the lattice parameter of copper with milling times, up to a saturation value of about 24h; There was an absence of graphite reflections from X-ray diffractograms after longer milling times.

Homogeneous mixing of Al, varying amounts of Cu, Mg and Zn metal powders and SiC ceramic powders and mechanical alloys of metal powders by using high energy ball milling were carried out in the Retsch MM400 model mixer device, which performs movement in a spex manner. After this process, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was applied to the powdered mixtures. With the data obtained from XRD graphics; The crystallite size was calculated using the Scherrer equation, and the lattice stresses were calculated using the Williamson-Hall equation and comparisons between these two data were made. It was observed that the amount of Cu by weight, both the crystallite size, did not make a notable change for this property. Then, powder mixtures were sintered in hot isostatic press in argon atmosphere, which is a shielding gas, and turned into samples. These samples were polished and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were taken.
