In this research work, copper and CNTs have been processed using high energy milling in different milling times (5, 10 and 15 hours). FESEM and XRD have been used to characterize the milled powders. The FESEM micrographs of the milled powders indicated that the morphology of powders changed from spherical shape to flake as milling time increased. The effect of sintering temperature as well as CNTs content on the properties of Cu-CNTs nanocomposite has been investigated. The optimum sintering temperature to produce Cu-CNTs nanocomposites is determined to be 900 oC. The microstructure and phase analysis of Cu-CNTs nanocomposites were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties of nanocomposite samples at various sintering temperatures were investigated. Cu-CNTs nanocomposite with 4 vol.% CNTs fabricated by powder metallurgy method indicated the highest value of the micro-hardness and bending strength as compared to pure copper.

Nanostructured copper-diamond composites can be tailored for thermal management applications at high temperature. A novel approach based on multiscale diamond dispersions is proposed for the production of this type of materials: a Cu-nDiamond composite produced by high-energy milling is used as a nanostructured matrix for further dispersion of micrometer sized diamond. The former offers strength and microstructural thermal stability while the latter provides high thermal conductivity. A series of Cu-nDiamond mixtures have been milled to define the minimum nanodiamond fraction suitable for matrix refinement and thermal stabilization. A refined matrix with homogenously dispersed nanoparticles could be obtained with 4 at.% nanodiamond for posterior mixture with mDiamond and subsequent consolidation. In order to define optimal processing parameters, consolidation by hot extrusion has been carried out for a Cu-nDiamond composite and, in parallel, for a mixture of pure copper and mDiamond. The materials produced were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and microhardness measurements.

High energy ball milling was performed on a mixture of titanium and aluminum elemental powders with a composition of Ti -48(at.%) Al . Stearic acid was added to this powder mixture as a process control agent (PCA) to study its effect on the microstructure evolution and crystallite size of the milled powder after various milling times. Phase compositions and morphology of the milled powders were evaluated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Crystallite sizes of milled powders were determined by Cauchy-Gaussian approach using XRD profiles. It was shown that addition of 1wt.% of stearic acid not only minimizes the adhesion of milling product to the vial and balls, but also reduces its crystallite sizes. It has also a marked effect on the morphology of the final product.

Nanocrystalline Ni0.36Zn0.64Fe2O4was synthesized by milling a powder mixture of Zn, NiO, and Fe2O3in a high-energy ball mill for 30 h under three different atmospheres of air, argon, and oxygen. After sintering the 30 h milled samples at 500°C, the XRD patterns suggested the formation of a single phase of Ni-Zn ferrite. The XRD results indicated the average crystallite sizes to be 15, 14, and 16 nm, respectively, for the 30 h milled samples in air, argon, and oxygen atmospheres sintered at 500°C. From the FeSEM micrographs, the average grain sizes of the mentioned samples were 83, 75, and 105 nm, respectively, which grew to 284, 243, and 302 nm after sintering to 900°C. A density of all the samples increased while a porosity decreased by elevating sintering temperature. The parallel evolution of changes in magnetic properties, due to microstructural variations with changes in the milling atmosphere and sintering temperature in the rage of 500–900°C with 100°C increments, is also studied in this work.

BaGd2ZnO5:Eu3+ phosphors were synthesized at sintering temperatures of 800, 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200 °C by high-energy ball milling method. The crystallinity, surface morphology and photoluminescence properties of phosphors were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and luminescence spectrophotometry, respectively. The XRD results indicate that the crystallinity of the powder was improved and the powder shows a orthorhombic structure as the sintering temperature increased. The emission spectra of BaGd2ZnO5phosphors excited at 280 nm exhibit a series of shaped peaks assigned to the5D0→7FJ(J=0, 1, 2, 3) transitions, and luminescence intensity was increased with increasing sintering temperature. The FE-SEM images indicate that the size and shape of particles are regular.

In the present work, Al-5083-5wt% nanoyttria powders were milled for 10, 20, 30 and 35 hrs in a high energy ball milling under optimised process parameters. The milled powders were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Milled powders exhibit nanocrystalline single phase after 10hrs of milling. Consolidation of 35 hrs milled powder was done by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) through 90odie channel angle using route A upto three passes with and without back pressure and sintered under controlled environment. Density of ECAPed samples was measured using Archimedes principle. The density is 96% for the sample consolidated with backpressure after two passes after sintering.

Sintering Properties

Zirconyl chloride was used as zirconium source and fused silica particles were used as main raw material. First of all, the composite powders were prepared by wet chemical synthesis using ammonia as the precipitator and polyethylene glycol as the dispersant. Then, fused silica nanozirconia composite ceramic containing nanometer particle zirconia with different contents (5%, 15%, 25% and 35%) were fabricated in reduction atmosphere at 1300°C, 1350°C and 1400°C for 1 h. The bulk density and bending strength were measured, microstructure was observed by SEM. The result indicated bulk density and bending strength of composite ceramic increase and microstructure becomes denser with content of zirconia increasing. Bulk density of composite ceramic increases and bending strength which reaches maximum at 1350°C firstly increases then decreases with the increase of sintering temperature. Both high sintering temperature and nanozirconia possessing high energy interface can improve the composite ceramic sintering.

High energy ball-milling of metallic powders is used extensively to achieve structural refinement. In recent years it has been found that cold-milling can induce transformations to highly metastable phases.In particular, the elemental mixing at the atomic-scale in certain systems may eventually lead to solid-state amorphization reactions (SSAR) after short periods of time. A problem that often arises in using this technique is contamination of the product from the grinding balls and container material.In this note we describe such a development in the microstructures that evolve during SSAR of a mixture of 75 atm% Ni and 25 atm% Ta high-purity powders processed for 17h in a planetary mill using WC + Co balls and container. The average composition of the ball-milled powders determined by EDS-analysis in a SEM was Ni75Ta25. X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of an amorphous phase and also revealed the presence of sharp crystalline peaks identified as WC hexagonal phase (a=0.291 nm and c=0.283 nm); no detectable crystalline peaks from the initial Ni or Ta powders were observed. For TEM observations, small quantities of the ball-milled powders were embedded in epoxy and subsequently sectioned with a diamond knife using a Dupont-6000 ultramicrotome.

The medical Ti-20Mo alloys were fabricated by powder metallurgy. The effects of sintering temperature on the phase, the morphology and the mechanical properties of Ti-Mo alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical properties test methods. The results showed that after sintering at 1200 °C, the microstructure of Ti-Mo alloys mainly consisted of α phase. The increasing sintering time could promote α→β phase transition, thus the flexural strength and the elastic modulus of Ti-Mo alloys could be controlled. When the sintering temperature was 1300 °C, molybdenum content was 20%, the bending strength and the compressive strength of Ti-20Mo alloy were 1369MPa and 2602MPa respectively, and the elastic modulus was 3.4GPa. It may be concluded that the Ti-20Mo alloys is prospective prostheses materials.

A mixture of expanded graphite (EG) and iron powders was ball-milled in a high-energy mill. The milled EG/Fe powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The tribological behavior of the milled powders used as lubricating additive was investigated by using a tribo-tester. The results show that the milled powders used as lubricating additive have an obvious anti-friction effect, and the more large the applied temperature, the more marked the anti-friction effect.
