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.

Due to its characteristics, cordierite, 2MgO?2Al2O3?5SiO2, is a high-temperature ceramic material of a great scientific interest. Mechanical activation of the starting mixtures containing 5.00 mass% TiO2 was performed in a high-energy ball mill for 10 minutes. The compaction pressure varied from 0.5 to 6tcm-2 (49-588 MPa). The sintering process was performed at 1350?C for four hours in the air atmosphere. The phase composition of the activated and sintered samples was analyzed using X-ray diffraction. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the microstructure of both compacted and sintered samples. The authors have investigated the influence of compaction pressure on the sintered samples and their electrical properties.

In this works, aluminum scraps powders were mixed with commercial graphite and mechanically alloyed in a high-energy ball mill and subsequently powders sintering. The initial grinding of aluminum scraps for 2 hours and then mixed with commercial graphite powder at a proportion of (y)Al-(x)C (wt%) (x = 1, 5 e 10, 25). The mixture of aluminum and graphite powders was processed for a time at 5 hours of milling. The samples were sintered at a temperature of 750°C and 1000°C. Samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results of this study were to find important parameters of composition and sintering, because the increase in concentration of carbon in the aluminum indicates that the material may have different applications.

In this work, a combination of methods for HAp synthesis is investigated. Fish bones were calcined at 900oC between 4h and 12h, followed by milling in a high-energy ball mill, by 2h and 4h at 300rpm. The obtained material was characterized by using techniques such as laser granulometry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The performed analysis permitted us to obtain the Ca/P ratio, the morphology and the phase structure of hydroxyapatite particles powder.

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.

Fe-Si alloy with a large Si content of 6.5 wt. % is obtained in nanocrystalline state by mechanical alloying of elemental iron and silicon powders. The mechanical alloying process was carried out using a high energy ball mill in argon atmosphere. Samples were collected after 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours of ball milling. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicate that after 4 hours of milling the Fe-Si alloy is formed. The powder magnetisation decreases upon increasing the milling time up to 4 hours as a consequence of the Fe-Si alloy formation. Upon heating, the DSC studies show the Fe3Si compound formation in the samples milled for milling times lower than 6 hours. Also, the Curie temperature of the alloy was evidenced.

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.

Nanocrystalline Fe90Mg10 alloy samples were prepared by mechanical alloying process using planetary high energy ball mill. The prepared powders were characterized using differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) at high temperature, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Obtained results are discussed according to milling time. XRD at high temperature results also indicated that when the milling time increases, the lattice parameter and the mean level of grain size increase, whereas the microstrains decrease. The result of the observation by the TEM of the Fe-Mg powders prepared in different milling time, coercive fields derived and Saturation magnetization derived from the hysteresis curves in high temperature are discussed as a function of milling time.

An elemental powder mixture corresponding to the Al3Ni2 phase stoichiometry was subjected to mechanical alloying in a high-energy ball mill. Products of this process after various milling times were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The phase transformations occurring in the material throughout milling and during heating in a calorimeter were investigated by X-ray diffraction method. This study revealed that a metastable nanocrystalline NiAl intermetallic phase was formed during the mechanical alloying process. Heating of the synthesised powders in the calorimeter caused phase transformations, the product of which was an equilibrium Al3Ni2 intermetallic phase or a mixture of NiAl, Al3Ni2 and Al3Ni intermetallic phases, depending on the milling time and the temperature up to which the material was heated.

Fe-Si alloy with a Si content of 10 wt. % was obtained in nanocrystalline state by mechanical alloying of elemental iron and silicon powders. The mechanical alloying process was carried out in a high energy ball mill (Fritsch, Pulverisette 4) in argon atmosphere. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that after 4 hours of milling the Fe-Si alloy is formed. The mean crystallites size decreases down to 7 nm after 8 hours of milling. The particles morphology investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed an evolution during milling process from two different kinds of particles to a one kind of particles with irregular shape. The magnetisation of powders decreases upon increasing the milling time up to 4 hours as a consequence of the Fe-Si alloy formation.
