B2-structured (Fe,Ni)Al was synthesised by an abrupt reaction during mechanical alloying (MA) of the elemental powders of Fe, Al and Ni. The structural, microstructural, morphological and magnetic changes occurring in the studied material during MA were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Two crystalline phases were found, a majority one corresponding to (Fe,Ni)Al bcc phase with a crystallite size less than 10 nm, a lattice strain up to 1.6% and a dislocation density of about 2.3 x1016 m-2. The other phase was in a low proportion corresponding to Fe (Al,Ni) solid solution. SEM images showed an irregular morphology of powder particles. Mossbauer spectra of the milled powders, recorded at room temperature, reveal the paramagnetic behaviour of the obtained powder. Keywords: Mechanical alloying, ternary composition, dislocation density, structural properties, paramagnetic behaviour.

Complete Homogenization

FeAl20Si20 (wt.%) powders prepared by mechanical alloying from different initial feedstock materials (Fe, Al, Si, FeAl27) were investigated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation techniques were used to analyze microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties (hardness and Young’s modulus). Finite element model was developed to account for the decrease in measured values of mechanical properties of powder particles with increasing penetration depth caused by surrounding soft resin used for embedding powder particles. Progressive homogenization of the powders’ microstructure and an increase of hardness and Young’s modulus with milling time were observed and the time for complete homogenization was estimated.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical alloying behavior of elemental powders in the Nb-Si, Ta-Si, and Nb-Ta-Si systems was examined via X-ray diffraction. The line compounds NbSi2 and TaSi2 form as crystalline compounds rather than amorphous products, but Nb5Si3 and Ta5Si3, although chemically analogous, respond very differently to mechanical milling. The Ta5Si3 composition goes directly from elemental powders to an amorphous product, whereas Nb5Si3 forms as a crystalline compound. The Nb5Si3 compound consists of both the tetragonal room-temperature α phase (c/a = 1.8) and the tetragonal high-temperature β phase (c/a = 0.5). Substituting increasing amounts of Ta for Nb in Nb5Si3 initially stabilizes the α-Nb5Si3 structure preferentially, and subsequently inhibits the formation of a crystalline compound.

Ternary alloys, (Fe50−x/2Co50−x/2)Snx(x ≤ 33 at.%), are prepared by mechanical alloying from powder mixtures of the three elements. As-milled alloys are studied by X-ray diffraction and 57Fe and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. The solubility of Sn in near-equiatomic bcc FeCo is increased from ~0.5 at. % at equilibrium to ~20 at.% in the used milling conditions. The average 119Sn hyperfine magnetic field at room temperature is larger, for any x, than the corresponding fields in mechanically alloyed Fe-Sn solid solutions.

Effect of nitrogen (N) addition on mechanical properties of Ti-Cr-Sn alloy was investigated in this study. Ti-7mol%Cr-3mol%Sn was selected and less than 0.5wt% of N were systematically added. The alloys were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and tensile tests at room temperature. The apparent phase was β (bcc) phase, whereas the presence of precipitates was confirmed in 0.5wt%N-added alloy only which did not exhibit sufficient cold workability. The grain size was not largely affected by N addition being less than 0.5wt%. Tensile tests revealed that less than 0.5wt%N addition improves the strength which is due to the solution hardening by interstitial N atoms.

The effect of processing conditions on microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe-Al-Si powders was studied by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation. Fe-Al-Si alloy powder was prepared from pure elemental powders by mechanical alloying. Microstructure and mechanical properties of powders were characterized after various durations of mechanical alloying. Special sample preparation technique was developed allowing to characterize the properties of individual powder particles after each step of processing in a planetary ball mill. This step-by-step characterization allowed to find the optimum conditions for subsequent spark plasma sintering.

AbstractMechanically alloyed powders with the composition Al0.7Li0.3 are synthesized. Materials milled for different times are studied using electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis. A solid solution of Li in Al (α-phase) is formed with as much as 10 at % of dissolved Li. The LiAl intermetallic δ-phase is readily produced by mechanical alloying but disappears after extended milling times. The final product of milling for 102 hours consists of an x-ray amorphous phase. Mechanically alloyed powders heated in inert environment exhibit several weak exothermic reactions between 420 and 700 K, and two endothermic reactions, around 810 and 870 K. All the observed relaxation processes become less pronounced and eventually become undetectable as the milling time increases and an amorphous material is produced. Ignition experiments performed for the powders coated on an electrically heated filament showed that the powders ignited in the vicinity of 1250 K. An experimental setup for studying combustion of reactive mechanically alloyed powders is developed and initial experimental results are described.

Nanostructure TiO2 films were prepared by electron beam evaporation with glancing angle deposition technique at room temperature. The morphology, crystal structure and optical properties at various substrate rotation speeds (0-10 rpm) were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The cross-section FE-SEM images illustrate that the nanostructures consist of different morphology: slanted columnar, spiral and vertical align nanorods at 0, 0.01 and 10 rpm-rotation speed, respectively. In particular, the rotation speed-controlled incoming vapor flux was found to play crucial role in the growth of nanostructure TiO2 films.

The hydrothermally synthesized CuWO4 nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized with different analysis such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), UV-Visible and Photoluminescence (PL) analysis. The prepared CuWO4 NPs were examined with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). SEM images show that CuWO4 NPs are highly spherical shaped morphology and porous in nature. The optical band gap of prepared CuWO4 NPs is found to be 2.12 eV. Photodegradation of diclofenac sodium (DFS) (medical waste) in the aqueous medium with CuWO4 NPs under visible light irradiation shows 98% degradation. The CuWO4 NPs was stable up to 5th cycle it can be used as a reusable photocatalyst for the DFS degradation. The electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of the CuWO4 NPs at room temperature is analyzed by EIS studies. The bulk conductivity value of the prepared nanoparticles is 1.477×10-5 S/cm at room temperature. The conductivity of CuWO4 NPs is found to be due to electrons movement. The CuWO4 NPs shows higher photocatalytic and electrocatalytic activity for decomposition of DFS and methanol electro-oxidation in alkaline medium respectively.

A mixture of pure Mg and Si powders with an atomic ratio 2:1 has been subjected to mechanical alloying (MA) at room temperature to prepare the Mg2Si thermoelectric material. Mg2Si intermetallic compound with a grain size of 50 nm can be obtained by MA of Mg66.7Si33.3 powders for 60 hours and subsequently annealed at 620 °C. Consolidation of the MA powders was performed in a spark plasma sintering (SPS) machine using graphite dies up to 800–900 °C under 50 MPa. The shrinkage of consolidated samples during SPS was significant at about 250 °C and 620 °C. X-ray diffraction data shows that the SPS compact from 60 h MA powders consolidated up to 800 °C consists of only nanocrystalline Mg2Si compound with a grain size of 100 nm.

Titanium Aluminium

Pure powders of titanium, aluminium, nickel and ruthenium were mechanically alloyed and melted in a button arc furnace under an argon atmosphere to produce two alloys of composition Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) and Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%). The alloys were then cut and metallographically prepared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the samples. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to analyze the oxidation behavior from room temperature up to 1050°C. The alloys were also oxidized in air at 1050°C for 120 hours. The Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) alloy formed dendrites of γ-TiAl (55.6 at.% Al) surrounded by a eutectic of γ-TiAl + Al3NiTi2 (τ3) phases. The Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%) alloy formed dendrites of γ-TiAl (53.6 at.% Al) surrounded by a eutectic of γ-TiAl + Al3NiTi2 (τ3). The ruthenium was mostly in solid solution (0.3 at.%) in the Al3NiTi2 (τ3) phase, although traces of it were present in the dendrites (0.1 at.% Ru). When oxidized in air from room temperature to 1050°C, the as-cast Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%) had a mass gain of 0.60% and the as-cast Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) had a mass gain of 0.97%. Isothermal oxidation of both alloys at 1050°C for 120 hours formed mixed metal oxides of TiO2+Al2O3 on the surface.
