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.

The high energy ball milling of Ni-50 atom % Si elemental powder mixtures was carried out using a planetary mill. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phase evolutions during the high energy ball milling period. The microstructure morphology of the powders milled different time was determined by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The beginning time of mechanical alloying was determined by back scattered electrons (BSE) images. The XRD patterns showed that the nickel peaks intensity and the silicon peaks intensity obviously decreased with milling time increased to 1 hour. BSE images revealed that nickel and silicon powders were not blended uniformly for 1 hour of milling. It was found that NiSi formed as the milling time increased to 5 hours, simultaneously, the nickel peaks and the silicon peaks almost disappeared. That means the obvious mechanical alloying started from 5 hours of milling. BSE images agreed with the result analyzed from XRD patterns. With the milling time further increased from 10 to 75 hours, the NiSi peaks decreased gradually, at the same time, the Ni2Si peaks appeared and then increased gradually.

AbstractIn the present research work nickel (Ni) and titanium (Ti) elemental powder with an ostensible composition of 50% of each by weight were mechanically alloyed in a planetary high energy ball mill in diverse milling circumstances (10, 20, 30 and 60 h). The inspection exposed that increasing milling time leads to a reduction in crystallite size, and after 60 h of milling, the Ti dissolved in the Ni lattice and the NiTi (B2) phase was obtained. The lattice strain of ball milled mixtures augmented from 0.15 to 0.45 at 60 h milling. With increase in milling time the morphology of pre-alloyed powder changed from lamella to globular. Annealing of as-milled powders at 1100 K for 800 s led to the formation of NiTi (B19′), grain growth and the release of internal strain. The result indicated that this technique is a powerful and highly productive process for preparing NiTi intermetallic compounds with a nano-crystalline structure and appropriate morphology.

Superior properties of nanostructured Al2O3 based materials, such as higher hardness and fracture toughness, have been evidenced. In order to optimize their manufacturing, the mechanical activation of the starting powders (Al2O3-TiO2 and Al2O3-ZrO2) was studied. In the present work, Al2O3 powders blended with 13wt% and 44wt% of titania or 20wt% and 80wt% of yttria partially stabilized zirconia have been high-energy ball-milled using a planetary mill, P4 (Fritsch) with steel vials and balls. The effect of the milling time and operating parameters, such as shock energy and friction to total energy ratio, on the powder structural and microstructural evolutions has been determined by SEM, XRD and BET. The transformation of the metastable anatase TiO2 phase into the high pressure TiO2 II phase and rutile phase was evidenced, simultaneously to the decrease of the alumina crystallite size, in the Al2O3-TiO2 system. In the Al2O3-ZrO2 system, the transformation of the monoclinic phase and the decrease of the alumina and tetragonal zirconia crystallite size have been observed.

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.

An attempt was made to synthesis Al-5083alloy through high energy ball milling and densification through ECAP. The elemental powders consisting of Al5083 was milled for 5, 10 and 15 hrs using Retsch high energy ball mill (PM400). The physical and structural properties of mechanically alloyed particulates were characterised by diffraction methods and electron microscopy. The 15hrs nanocrystalline structured particulates of Al5083 alloy shows crystallite size of 15nm. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) reveals the morphology of alloy which is irregular shaped. The size of alloyed particulates also measured using SEM and found to be 7μm for 15hrs of milling. The 15hr milled alloy particulates were densified by ECAP through 90o die channel angle. Maximum densification of 92% and highest hardness of 63HRB was achieved for sample consolidated with route-A for two passes along with sintering.

The effects of milling atmosphere and mechanical alloying (MA) duration on the effective lattice parameter, crystallite size, lattice strain, and amorphization rate of the W-0.5 wt.% Ti powders were investigated. W-0.5 wt.% Ti powders were mechanically alloyed (MA’d) for 10 h and 20 h in a high energy ball mill. Moreover, morphology of the powders for various MA was analyzed using SEM microscopy. Their powder density was also measured by helium pycnometer. The dry milled agglomerated powders have spherical particle, while wet milled powders have layered morphology. Milling media and increasing of milling time significantly reduce the crystallite size. The smallest crystallite size is 4.93 nm which belonged to the dry milled powders measured by Lorentzian method after 20 hours’ MA. However, after 20 hours, MA’d powders show the biggest crystallite size, as big as 57.07 nm, measured with the same method in ethanol.

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.

Carbides are used extensively as cutting tools, forming dies, and recently in catalysis applications, among other industrial applications. In this work, the synthesis and characterization of a nanostructured MoW bimetallic carbide were carried out by mechanical alloying with a mixture of elemental powders with a nominal composition of W1.5Mo6C2.5 at different grinding times as follows: 25, 50, and 75 h in a low-energy ball mill at a speed of 500 rpm and 125 and 150 h in a high-energy ball mill at a speed of 1500 rpm. The formation of a solid solution was observed at 150 h of milling; the nanostructured bcc MoW carbide corresponded to the main phase in the sample, besides the presence of the nanostructured MoW alloy as a secondary phase with an average crystal size of 40.8 nm. The phases and morphology at every stage of milling were studied by: X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Vickers hardness. As the milling time increased, the hardness of these particles increased from 10.5 to 31.48 GPa for the powder particles milled for 150 h. The samples obtained at 125 and 150 h of milling were evaluated during catalytic aqua-thermolysis of heavy oil to analyze fuel desulfurization properties by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) techniques. The results showed the breaking of S-S bonds, indicating the existence of a desulfurization reaction of heavy oil.

Titanium β-type alloys are preferred biomaterials for hard tissue replacements due to the low Young modulus and limitation of harmful aluminum and vanadium present in the commercially available Ti6Al4V alloy. The aim of this study was to develop a new ternary Ti-Zr-Nb system at 36≤Ti≤70 (at. %). The technical viability of preparing Ti-Zr-Nb alloys by high-energy ball-milling in a SPEX 8000 mill has been studied. These materials were prepared by the combination of mechanical alloying and powder metallurgy approach with cold powder compaction and sintering. Changes in the crystal structure as a function of the milling time were investigated using X-ray diffraction. Our study has shown that mechanical alloying supported by cold pressing and sintering at the temperature below α→β transus (600°C) can be applied to synthesize single-phase, ultrafine-grained, bulk Ti(β)-type Ti30Zr17Nb, Ti23Zr25Nb, Ti30Zr26Nb, Ti22Zr34Nb, and Ti30Zr34Nb alloys. Alloys with lower content of Zr and Nb need higher sintering temperatures to have them fully recrystallized. The properties of developed materials are also engrossing in terms of their biomedical use with Young modulus significantly lower than that of pure titanium.
