Melt-spun metallic Al86Ni9La5 glassy ribbons solidified at different circumferential speeds (Sc) were subjected to high-energy ball milling at room and cryogenic temperatures. Crystallization induced by milling was found in the Al86Ni9La5 solidified at lower circumferential speed (Sc = 14.7 m/s), while the Al86Ni9La5 with Sc = 36.6 m/s kept amorphous. Besides, a trend of structural rejuvenation during milling process was observed, as the onset temperatures (Tx1, Tx2) and the crystallization enthalpies (ΔH1, ΔH2) first decreased and then increased along with the milling time. We explored the structural origin of crystallization by ab initio molecular dynamic simulations and found that the tricapped trigonal prism (TTP) Ni-centered clusters with a higher frequency in samples solidified at a lower cooling rate, which tend to link into medium-range orders (MROs), may promote crystallization by initiating the shear bands during milling. Based on the deformation mechanism and crush of metallic glasses, we presented a qualitative model to explain the structural rejuvenation during milling.

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.

The effects of ball milling on lithium (Li) insertion/extraction properties into/from single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were investigated. The SWNTs were synthesized on supported catalysts by thermal chemical-vapor deposition method, purified, and mechanically ball-milled by high-energy ball milling. The purified SWNTs and the ball-milled SWNTs were electrochemically inserted/extracted with Li. The structural and chemical modifications in the ball-milled SWNTs change the insertion/extraction properties of Li ions into/from the ball-milled SWNTs. The reversible capacity (Crev) increases with increase in the ball milling time, from 616 mAh/g (Li1.7C6) for the purified SWNTs to 988 mAh/g (Li2.7C6) for the ball-milled SWNTs. The undesirable irreversible capacity (Cirr) decreases continuously with increase in the ball milling time, from 1573 mAh/g (Li4.2C6) for the purified SWNTs to 845 mAh/g (Li2.3C6) for the ball-milled SWNTs. The enhancedCrevof the ball-milled SWNTs is presumably due to a continuous decrease in theCirrbecause the SWNTs develop a densely packed structure on the ball milling process. The insertion of Li ions into the ball-milled SWNTs is facilitated by various Li insertion sites formed during the ball milling process in spite of small surface area than the purified SWNTs. Lithium ions inserted into various insertion sites enhance theCrevin the ball-milled SWNTs with the large voltage hysteresis by hindrance of the extraction of Li ions from the ball-milled SWNTs. In addition, the ball-milled samples exhibit more stable cycle capacities than the purified samples during the charge/discharge cycling.

Abstract In this research, effect of the various mechanical milling process on morphology and microstructural changes of nano and micron Al-powders was studied. The milling of Al-powders was performed by both high energy and low energy ball milling process. The influence of milling (pulverizing) energy on the structural changes of Al-powders was studied. Al-nanoparticles were agglomerated during the MA and its size was increased with increasing milling while micron Al-powder gets flattened shape during high energy ball milling due to severe plastic deformation. Meanwhile, structural evolution during high energy ball milling of the nano powder occurred faster than that of the micron powder. A slight shift in the position of X-ray diffraction peaks was observed in nano Al-powders but it was un-altered in macro Al-powders. The variation in lattice parameters was observed only for nano Al powders during the high energy ball milling due to lattice distortion.

In the present study, Fe-50at%Al/WC intermetallic matrix composite powder was produced through mechanical alloying (MA) followed by annealing treatment. The phase transformations, grain size, microstructure and thermal stability of the composite powder during milling and annealing treatment were studied. The results showed that a bcc Fe(Al) solid solution reinforced with nanoscale WC particles was formed through high-energy ball milling The grain size of Fe(Al) decreased and the lattice strain of Fe(Al) increased with increasing milling time. The as-milled Fe(Al)/WC composite powder had lamellar structure. The oxygen content of Fe(Al)/WC composite powder increased with increasing milling time. The phase transformation from Fe(Al) to Fe-Al intermetallic phases was related to the milling time of composite powder and could occure at temperature of 400°C.

Sintered Alloys

This proposal aims at structural characterization of Ti-Fe-Si-B alloys produced by high-energy ball milling and subsequent sintering. In this study, quaternary alloys were prepared from raw materials of high purity: Ti (99.9 wt-%), Fe (99.8 wt-%), Si (99.999 wt-%) and B (99.5 wt-%). The milling process of the Ti-2Fe-22Si-11B and Ti-7Fe-22Si-11B (at-%) powders was carried out in a planetary Fritsch P-5 ball mill. Subsequently, the Ti-Fe-Si-B powders milled for 600 min were sintered (1100 ° C for 240 min) under vacuum to obtain equilibrium structures. The characterization of as-milled powders and sintered alloys was performed by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and electron dispersive spectrometry. Extended solid solutions were formed during the initial milling times while that the brittle Ti5Si3 phase was formed for longer milling times in both the quaternary powder mixtures. This fact contributed for reducing the particle sizes. Homogeneous samples containing a small amount of pore were obtained after sintering at 1100°C for 4h. Results have indicated that the iron addition favored the formation of different binary phases of the Ti-Si system, and the formation of the Ti6Si2B compound was inhibited from the Ti-Fe-Si-B powder mixtures.

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.

Solid lubricants have had good acceptance when used in problem areas where the conventional lubricants cannot be applied: under extreme temperatures, high charges and in chemically reactive environments. In case of materials manufactured by powder metallurgy, particles of solid lubricants powders can be easily incorporated to the matrix volume at the mixing stage. In operation, this kind of material provides a thin layer of lubricant that prevents direct contact between the surfaces. The present study aimed at incorporating particles of second phase lubricant (h-BN) into a matrix of nickel by high-energy ball milling in order to obtain a self-lubricating composite with homogeneous phase distribution of lubricant in the matrix. Mixtures with 10 vol.% of h-BN varying the milling time of 5, 10, 15 and 20 hours and their relationship ball/powder of 20:1 were performed. The effect of milling time on the morphology and microstructure of the powders was studied by X-ray diffraction, SEM and EDS. The composite powders showed reduction in average particle size with increasing milling time and the milling higher than 5 hours resulted in equiaxial particles and the formation of nickel boride.

Magnesium aluminate (MA) spinel is synthesized by reaction sintering from alumina and magnesia. The effects of mechanical activation of Al2O3 on reaction sintering were investigated. Non-milled a - Al2O3 and a - Al2O3 high-energy ball milled for 12h, 24h and 36h were mixed with a MgO analytical reagent according to the stoichiometric MA ratio, respectively and pressed into billets with diameters of 20mm and height of 15mm. The green-body billets were then sintered at high temperature in an air atmosphere. The results show that bulk density, relative content of MA and grain size of MA increase with increasing high-energy ball milling time of Al2O3. However prolonged milling time over 24h has a small beneficial effect on the densification of MA. Bulk density and grain size of a sample of a- Al2O3 milled for 24h are 3.30g/cm3 and 4-5 mm, respectively.
