Taguchi’s method was applied to investigate the effect of the main HEBM parameters: milling time (MT), ball to powder weight ratio (BPWR) and milling speed (MS) on the dissolved AlN fraction in TiN. The settings of HEBM parameters were determined by using the orthogonal experiments array (OA). The as-received and milled powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The optimum milling parameter combination was determined by using the analysis of signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. According to the analysis of variance (ANOVA) the milling speed is the most effective parameter and the optimal conditions for powder synthesis are: MT 20h, MS 600rpm, BPWR 50:1. The result of the experiment conducted under optimal conditions (AlN was completely dissolved during experiment) confirmed the conclusions of the statistical analysis.

High energy ball milling has been used like alternative route for processing of materials. In the present paper, the reduction of tungsten oxide by aluminum in order to obtain metallic tungsten was studied using a SPEX type high energy mill. A powdered mixture of WO3and metallic aluminum, weighed according to the stoichiometric proportion with an excess 10% Al, was processed with hardened steel utensils using a 1:6 powder-to-ball ratio. The processing was carried out with milling jar temperature measurement in order to detect the reaction type. The temperature evaluation indicated the self-propagating reaction occurrence by fast increase of the jar temperature after a short milling time. The tungsten oxide reduction was verified by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and the milling products were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results were slightly different from the literature due to the mill type and milling parameters used in the work.

Mechanically induced crystallization of an amorphous Fe90Zr10 alloy was studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Under high-energy ball-milling in an AGO-2 mill, melt-spun Fe90Zr10 ribbons undergo crystallization into BCC α- Fe(Zr). Zr atoms are found to be solved in the Fe(Zr) grains up to a maximum supersaturation of about 3.5 at.% Zr, where it can be presumed that the remaining Zr atoms are segregated in the grainboundaries. The decomposition degree of the amorphous phase increases with increasing milling time and intensity. It is proposed that the observed crystallization is deformation-induced and rather not attribute to local temperature rises during ball-collisions.

Order-disorder transformations were studied in annealed and high-energy ball-milled near-equiatomic FeCo alloys. X-ray diffraction with Co Kα radiation enables to follow disordering with milling time because of anomalous dispersion.

We report on the preparation and hydrogen desorption/absorption kinetics of nanocrystalline magnesium hydride (MgH2) added commercial TiO2by high-energy ball milling. The phase and composition of the as-milled powders are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the milled sample contained MgH2phase, small amount of Mg and various phases of TiO2such as tetragonal and orthorhombic structure. The effect of the milling time (10, 20 and 30 h) on the hydrogen desorption property of MgH2has been investigated and found that the milling time of 20 h has excellent dehydrogenation properties, which can release 3.3 wt% H2within 60 min at 300oC, which indicates that the kinetics of hydrogen desorption of MgH2-TiO2composite has been greatly enhanced compared to the pure MgH2. Moreover, hydrogen absorption kinetics of the sample milled 20 h has been studied and the hydrogen content is 0.7, 0.8 and 1.2 wt% H2at 250, 280 and 300oC within 60 min, respectively.

Tthe present work studied the cationic substitution of Y3+ by Bi3+ on the crystal structure of orthorhombic YFeO3 and its effect over magnetic, dielectric and electric properties of multiferroic yttrium orthoferrite. Stoichiometric mixtures of Y2O3, Fe2O3 and Bi2O3 were mixed and milled for 5 h using a ball to powder weight ratio of 10:1 by high-energy ball milling. The obtained powders were pressed at 1500 MPa and sintered at 700 °C for 2 h. The test samples were characterized at room temperature by X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and impedance spectroscopy (IS). The X-ray diffraction patterns disclosed a maximum solubility of 30 % mol. of Bi3+ into the orthorhombic YFeO3. For higher concentrations, a transformation from orthorhombic to garnet structure was produced, obtaining partially Y3Fe5O12 phase. The substitution of Bi3+ in Y3+ sites promoted a distortion into the orthorhombic structure and modified Fe-O-Fe angles and octahedral tilt. In addition, it promoted a ferromagnetic (FM) order, which was attributed to both the crystal distortion and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. For doped samples, an increase in real permittivity values was observed, and reduced with the increase of frequency. This in good agreement with the Maxwell-Wagner effect.

This work reports on effect of magnesium addition on the Ti6Si2B stability in Ti-xMg-22Si-11B (x = 2 and 6 at.-%) alloys prepared by high-energy ball milling and subsequent sintering. Ball milling was conducted under Ar atmosphere in stainless steel vials and balls, 300 rpm, and a ball-to-powder weight ratio of 10:1. Following, the powders milled for 10 h were axially compacted in order to obtain cylinder samples with 6 mm diameter. To obtain the equilibrium structures the green samples were sintered at 1100°C for 4 h under Ar atmosphere. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry were used to characterize the as-milled powders and sintered samples. Extended Ti solid solution were found in the Ti-2Mg-22Si-11B and Ti-7-Mg-Si-B powders milled for 20 min and 60 min, respectively, whereas an amorphous halo was produced on Ti-2Mg-22Si-11B powders milled for 420 min. The increase of Mg amount in the starting powder mixture has inhibited the Ti6Si2B formation in the mechanically alloyed and sintered Ti-7Mg-22Si-11B alloy.

In this work, the effect of the milling time on the densification of the alumina ceramics with or without 5wt.%Y2O3, is evaluated, using high-energy ball milling. The milling was performed with different times of 0, 2, 5 or 10 hours. All powders, milled at different times, were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction presenting a reduction of the crystalline degree and crystallite size as function of the milling time increasing. The powders were compacted by cold uniaxial pressing and sintered at 1550°C-60min. Green density of the compacts presented an increasing as function of the milling time and sintered samples presented evolution on the densification as function of the reduction of the crystallite size of the milled powders.

We report on the preparation and hydrogen desorption/absorption kinetics of nanocrystalline magnesium hydride (MgH2) added commercial Ti by high-energy ball milling. The phase and composition of the as-milled powders are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the milled sample contained MgH2phase, Ti phase and small amount of MgO phase. When the milling time is 30 h, the hydrogen desorption property of MgH2has been investigated and found that the sample releases 0.43, 0.86 and 0.90 wt% H2in 200 minutes at 280, 290 and 300oC , respectively. Moreover, the sample absorbs 0.48, 0.0.58 and 0.61 wt% H2in 15 minutes at 280, 290 and 300oC , respectively. It can be seen that the kinetics of hydrogen desorption/absorption of MgH2-Ti composite has been greatly enhanced compared to the pure MgH2.

Microstructure evolution of high energy milled Al-50wt%Si alloy during heat treatment at different temperature was studied. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the size of the alloy powders decreased with increasing milling time. The observable coarsening of Si particles was not seen below 730°C in the high energy milled alloy, whereas, for the alloy prepared by mixed Al and Si powders, the grain growth occurred at 660°C. The activation energy for the grain growth of Si particles in the high energy milled alloy was determined as about 244 kJ/mol by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data analysis. The size of Si particles in the hot pressed Al-50wt%Si alloy prepared by high energy milled powders was 5-30 m at 700°C, which was significantly reduced compared to that of the original Si powders. Thermal diffusivity of the hot pressed Al-50wt%Si alloy was 55 mm2/s at room temperature which was obtained by laser method.
