Mg2Ni was synthesized by a solid state reaction from the constituent elemental powder mixtures via mechanical alloying. The mixture was ball milled for 10 h at room temperature in an argon atmosphere. The high energy ball mill used here was fabricated at ININ. A hardened steel vial and three steel balls of 12.7 mm in diameter were used for milling. The ball to powder weight ratio was 10:1. A small amount of powder was removed at regular intervals to monitor the structural changes. All the steps were performed in a little lucite glove box under argon gas, this glove box was also constructed in our Institute. The structural evolution during milling was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The hydrogen reaction was carried out in a micro-reactor under controlledconditions of pressure and temperature. The hydrogen storage properties of mechanically milled powders were evaluated by using a TGA system. Although homogeneous refining and alloying take place efficiently by repeated forging, the process time can be reduced to one fiftieth of the time necessary for conventional mechanical milling and attrition.

In this paper, the influence of toluene as the process control agent (PCA) and pre-milling on the extension of solid solubility of 7 wt.% Cr in Cu by mechanical alloying in a high energy ball mill was investigated. The structural evolution and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, respectively. The solid solution formation at different conditions was analyzed by copper lattice parameter change during the milling process. It was found that both the presence of PCA and pre-milling of Cr powder lead to faster dissolution of Cr . The mean crystallite size was also calculated and showed to be about 10 nm after 80 hours of milling.

In this paper, recently developed ternary FeAl20Si20 (wt.%) alloy with promising high-temperature oxidation and wear resistance was prepared by mechanical alloying in a high-energy ball mill. The possibility to speed-up the mechanical alloying process by replacing aluminium (and partly silicon) elemental powder by the pre-alloyed powder (AlSi30) with relatively fine dispersion of Si in the Al-Si eutectic was examined. The microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties after various time of mechanical alloying were characterized. The effect of using the pre-alloyed powders on kinetics of mechanical alloying is compared with the results obtained on batches prepared from elemental powders.

Nanostructured Al-25at.%Fe-5at.%Ni intermetallics were prepared directly by mechanical alloying (MA) in a high-energy planetary ball-mill. The phase transformations and structural changes occurring in the studied material during mechanical alloying were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to examine the morphology of the powders. Thermal behavior of the milled powders was examined by differential thermal analysis (DTA). The solid solutions of Fe (Al) and Ni (Fe) in the Al70Fe25Ni5 system are observed at the early milling stage. The solid solutions transforms into amorphous and disordered Al (Fe, Ni) phase. The last milling products in the Al70Fe25Ni5 system are Al3Ni2, AlFe3 and AlFe0.23Ni0.77 phases.

Nanostructured Fe25Al50Ni25intermetallics was prepared directly by mechanical alloying (MA) in a high-energy planetary ball-mill. The phase transformations and structural changes occurring in the studied material during mechanical alloying were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Thermal behavior of the milled powders was examined by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Disordered Al(Fe,Ni) solid solution was formed After 50 h of milling. Al(Fe,Ni) solid solution milled for 100h transformed into FeNi,FeNi3 and AlNi3 phase. The power annealed at temperature 500 results in forming of intermetallics AlFe0.23Ni0.77, Al1.1Ni0.9 , AlNi and two unknown phase after 5h milling. The nanocrystalline metallic compound was obtained after 100h milling.

High energy ball mill tests under the condition of the ball material mass ratio 13:1 and the rotate speed 400 r/min have been employed to investigate the process of mechanical alloying (MA) of Ta and Cr powder mixed in the mole ratio of 1:2.The microstructure evolution process and phase composition were explained useing scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that, the milled 20h powder existed in Ta (Cr) supersaturated solid solution and amorphous after 40h. Although the hours were spent on ball milling reached to 50h, Laves phase TaCr2had not been made during the process.

In this work, a blend of Ti, Nb, and Mn powders, with a nominal composition of 15 wt.% of Mn, and balanced Ti and Nb wt.%, was selected to be mechanically alloyed by the following two alternative high-energy milling devices: a vibratory 8000D mixer/mill® and a PM400 Retsch® planetary ball mill. Two ball-to-powder ratio (BPR) conditions (10:1 and 20:1) were applied, to study the evolution of the synthesized phases under each of the two mechanical alloying conditions. The main findings observed include the following: (1) the sequence conversion evolved from raw elements to a transitory bcc-TiNbMn alloy, and subsequently to an fcc-TiNb15Mn alloy, independent of the milling conditions; (2) the total full conversion to the fcc-TiNb15Mn alloy was only reached by the planetary mill at a minimum of 12 h of milling time, for either of the BPR employed; (3) the planetary mill produced a non-negligible Fe contamination from the milling media, when the highest BPR and milling time were applied; and (4) the final fcc-TiNb15Mn alloy synthesized presents a nanocrystalline nature and a partial degree of amorphization.

We report the core/shell type as the interesting one of the various techniques to prepare exchange-coupled permanent magnet. In this study, the exchange-coupled Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe was prepared by high energy ball mill process and chemical reduction. Nd15Fe77B8 powder prepared by high energy ball mill process was coated with α-Fe nanoparticle by chemical reduction. α-Fe nanoparticle on the ball milled Nd15Fe77B8 was synthesized by chemical reduction with borohydride as a reducing agent in aqueous solution. After annealing, Nd2Fe14B/α-Fe forming core/shell shape has exchange-coupling effect and was identified by using XRD, FE-SEM, VSM, TMA and EDX.
