Different from conventional Mo-Si-B-based alloys consisting of Moss, Mo3Si, and Mo5SiB2, Mo3Si-free Mo-Si-B-based alloys (Moss+Mo5Si3+Mo5SiB2 or Moss+Mo5SiB2) show great potentials for more excellent oxidation resistance and elevated temperature strength. In the present work, alloying element Nb was added to Mo-12Si-10B (at.%)-based alloy to suppress the formation of the Mo3Si phase. Mo-12Si-10B-xNb (x = 10, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, and 40) bulk alloys were fabricated using mechanical alloying followed by cold pressing and then sintering at 1773 K for 2 h. Effects of Nb content on the mechanical alloying behavior and then sintered microstructure were studied. The addition of Nb with an amount less than 30 at.% accelerated the mechanical alloying process, but 40 at.% Nb addition decreased the process due to excessive cold welding and high powder volume. For the sintered bulk alloy prepared from the mechanically alloyed powders milled for 30 h, a critical Nb content between 24 and 26 at.% was found to suppress Mo3Si production and γNb5Si3 phase formed in the alloys with the addition of Nb content more than 26 at.%. Prolongation of a prior milling process could facilitate the suppression of Mo3Si and delay the formation of niobium silicides.

Solid State Route

In this work, the effect of the milling speed on the properties of biodegradable Mg-1Mn alloy prepared by mechanical alloying was investigated. The magnesium-based alloy was prepared in solid state route using a high energy planetary mill. A mixture of pure magnesium and manganese powder was mechanically alloyed for 5 hours in argon atmosphere. Milling process was performed at various rotational speeds in order to investigate milling speed effect (i.e., 100, 200, 300 and 400 rpm) on phase formation and bulk properties. The as-milled powder was uniaxially compacted by cold pressing under 400 MPa at room temperature and sintered in argon atmosphere at 500 °C for an hour. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that a single α-Mg phase was formed in magnesium matrix after sintering process. An increase in milling speed up to 300 rpm resulted in an increase in density and hardness of the binary alloy. The changes of bulk properties of the Mg-Mn alloys were correlated to the formation of solid solution phase and a reduction of porosity which led to an increasing in densification.

Nb addition was found to be beneficial to the electrode properties of mechanically alloyed Mg2Ni-based product in 6M KOH solution. Formation of Mg2Ni-based nanocrystalites occurred after 15 and 5h of milling using the initial binary and ternary powder mixtures with stoichiometric compositions of Mg2Ni and Mg1.75Nb0.25Ni, respectively. Further milling of the ternary mixture resulted in the formation of an amorphous phase which became dominant after 30h. Negative electrode made from ternary product after 20h of milling exhibited the highest initial discharge capacity and the longest discharge life. This electrode showed to have a microstructure consisting of nanocrystalline Mg2Ni and an amorphous phase.

Al3Zr has the highest melting temperature (1580°C) among the tri-aluminide intermetal1ics. When prepared by casting, Al3Zr forms in the tetragonal DO23 structure but by rapid quenching or by mechanical alloying (MA) it can also be prepared in the metastable cubic L12 structure. The L12 structure can be stabilized to at least 1300°C by the addition of copper and other elements. We report a TEM study of the microstructure of bulk Al5CuZr2 prepared by hot pressing mechanically alloyed powder.MA was performed in a Spex 800 mixer using a hardened steel container and balls and adding hexane as a surfactant. Between 1.4 and 2.4 wt.% of the hexane decomposed during MA and was incorporated into the alloy. The mechanically alloyed powders were degassed in vacuum at 900°C. They were compacted in a ram press at 900°C into fully dense samples having Vickers hardness of 1025. TEM specimens were prepared by mechanical grinding followed by ion milling at 120 K. TEM was performed on a Philips CM30 at 300kV.

The aim of this work was to study the effect of milling time on binary magnesium-titanium (Mg-Ti) alloy synthesized by mechanical alloying. A powder mixture of Mg and Ti with the composition of Mg-15wt%Ti was milled in a planetary mill under argon atmosphere using a stainless steel container and balls. Milling process was carried out at 400 rpm for various milling time of 2, 5, 10, 15 and 30 hours. 3% n-heptane solution was added prior to milling process to avoid excessive cold welding of the powder. Then, as-milled powder was compacted under 400 MPa and sintered in a tube furnace at 500 °C in argon flow. The refinement analysis of the x-ray diffraction patterns shows the presence of Mg-Ti solid solution when Mg-Ti powder was mechanically milled for 15 hours and further. Enhancements of Mg-Ti phase formation with a reduction in Mg crystallite size were observed with the increase in milling time. A prolonged milling time has increased the density and hardness of the sintered Mg-Ti alloy.

ABSTRACTMechanical alloying and rapid solidification are two important routes to obtain glassy alloys. New Fe-Ni based metal-metalloid (P-Si) alloys prepared by these two different processing routes were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy. Mechanical alloyed samples were prepared with elemental precursors, and different nominal compositions. Rapidly solidified alloys were obtained by melt-spinning. The structural analyses show that, independent of the composition, the materials obtained by mechanical alloying are not completely disordered whereas fully amorphous alloys were obtained by rapid solidification. Consequently, the thermal stability of mechanically alloyed samples is lower than that of the analogous material prepared by rapid solidification. The P/Si ratio controls the magnetic interaction of the glassy ribbons obtained by rapid solidification. The experimental results are discussed in terms of the degree of amorphization and crystallization versus processing route and P/Si ratio content.

Microstructure And Magnetic Properties

In this study,the (FePt)94-xCu6Nbx (x=0, 2.87, 4.52, 5.67) alloy films were prepared by co-sputtering. The effects of Nb addition content and heat treatment on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the polycrystalline FePtCu films are reported. Our previous experiments showed that the ordering temperature of the (FePt)94Cu6 films reduced to 320 °C, which is much lower than that of the FePt alloy. However, the grain growth after heat treatment limited the practical application in recording media. By adding the Nb content in the (FePt)94Cu6 film, the grain sizes of the films can be adjusted from 50 to 18nm, even for the films annealed at temperature as high as 600°C. DSC traces of as-deposited disorder films at different heating rates, to evaluate the crystallization of the order phase, revealed that the addition of Nb enhanced the activation energy of ordering from 87 kJ/mol to 288 kJ/mol for the (FePt)94-xCu6Nbx (x=0 and 2.87, respectively) films. The reduction of the grain size and the corresponding increase in the activation energy of the Fe-Pt-Cu-Nb films might result from the precipitation of the Nb atoms around the ordering FePt phase. The (FePt)94-xCu6Nbx (x=2.87) film showed a coercive force of 13.4 kOe and the magnetization of 687 emu/cc.

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.

Reinforcing Agent

Due to improve the physical and mechanical properties of Ni activated W compacts, TiB2 was added to the W-Ni matrix as reinforcing agent. W-Ni matrix composites were fabricated by using a combined method of mechanical alloying (MA), cold pressing and activated sintering. The amount of activated sintering aid (Ni) was kept constant as 1 wt.%. The effects of TiB2 content and mechanical alloying duration on the physical, microstructural and mechanical properties of activated sintered W-Ni compacts were investigated. The results showed that TiB2 particles have a significant effect on the density and microhardness values of the sintered samples. After MA and sintering, formation of W2B and NiTi intermetallic compounds were observed because of the decomposition of TiB2. The relative density value of 91.21 % and microhardness value of 4.08±0.28 GPa of W-1 wt.% Ni samples respectively increased to 94.88 % and 5.64±0.28 GPa with the addition of 2 wt.% TiB2.
