Some years ago a new process was developed for the elaboration of alloys in order to overcome drawbacks observed in samples produced by conventional casting. In the present work are shown the results obtained by high energy mechanical milling for Cu-Al-Ni. the mechanical alloying powder Cu84Al12Ni4 (W%) was fabricated in high energy planetary ball milling at a speed of 250 r/min for various milling times (10 20 30 40 50 60 hours) the weight ratio of the balls of powder was 15 to 1. this mechanical alloying process is significantly modifying the characteristic of the powder, the recovered grains are ultimately compacted. The means used to study the different evolution are SEM Scaning Electron Microscopy, Differential thermal analysis DTA, X-ray Diffraction analysis and DRX in situ.

This paper presents a study on the effect of milling speed on the synthesis of Cu-WC nanocomposites by mechanical alloying (MA). The Cu-WC nanocomposite with nominal composition of 25 vol.% of WC was produced in-situ via MA from elemental powders of copper (Cu), tungsten (W), and graphite (C). These powders were milled in the high-energy “Pulverisette 6” planetary ball mill according to composition Cu-34.90 wt% W-2.28 wt% C. The powders were milled in different milling speed; 400 rpm, 500 rpm, and 600 rpm. The milling process was conducted under argon atmosphere by using a stainless steel vial and 10 mm diameter of stainless steel balls, with ball-to-powder weight ratio (BPR) 10:1. The as-milled powders were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). XRD result showed the formation of W2C phase after milling for 400 rpm and as the speed increased, the peak was broadened. No WC phase was detected after milling. Increasing the milling speed resulted in smaller crystallite size of Cu and proven to be in nanosized. Based on SEM result, higher milling speed leads to the refinement of hard W particles in the Cu matrix. Up to the 600 rpm, the unreacted W particles still existed in the matrix showing 20 hours milling time was not sufficient to completely dissolve the W.

Milling process through mechanical alloying method was performed on a powder mixture of Fe-80.11 wt%, Nb-17.62 wt% and C-2.26 wt% to produce Fe-NbC composite by in situ reaction. Ball to powder weight ratio parameter was selected since formation of phase and microstructure characteristics of this composite were expected to depend on ball collision event during milling. The as-milled and sintered Fe-NbC was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM). We found that formation of Fe-NbC by in situ required mechanical alloying of the mixture using 10:1 of ball to powder weight ratio to achieve small crystallite size and more homogeneous of NbC phase.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical alloying behavior of elemental powders in the Nb-Si, Ta-Si, and Nb-Ta-Si systems was examined via X-ray diffraction. The line compounds NbSi2 and TaSi2 form as crystalline compounds rather than amorphous products, but Nb5Si3 and Ta5Si3, although chemically analogous, respond very differently to mechanical milling. The Ta5Si3 composition goes directly from elemental powders to an amorphous product, whereas Nb5Si3 forms as a crystalline compound. The Nb5Si3 compound consists of both the tetragonal room-temperature α phase (c/a = 1.8) and the tetragonal high-temperature β phase (c/a = 0.5). Substituting increasing amounts of Ta for Nb in Nb5Si3 initially stabilizes the α-Nb5Si3 structure preferentially, and subsequently inhibits the formation of a crystalline compound.

AbstractIn-situ high-energy X-ray diffraction experiments with high temporal resolution during rapid cooling (280 °C s−1) and isothermal heat treatments (at 450 °C, 500 °C, and 550 °C for 30 minutes) were performed to study austenite decomposition in two commercial high-strength low-alloy steels. The rapid phase transformations occurring in these types of steels are investigated for the first time in-situ, aiding a detailed analysis of the austenite decomposition kinetics. For the low hardenability steel with main composition Fe-0.08C-1.7Mn-0.403Si-0.303Cr in weight percent, austenite decomposition to polygonal ferrite and bainite occurs already during the initial cooling. However, for the high hardenability steel with main composition Fe-0.08C-1.79Mn-0.182Si-0.757Cr-0.094Mo in weight percent, the austenite decomposition kinetics is retarded, chiefly by the Mo addition, and therefore mainly bainitic transformation occurs during isothermal holding; the bainitic transformation rate at the isothermal holding is clearly enhanced by lowered temperature from 550 °C to 500 °C and 450 °C. During prolonged isothermal holding, carbide formation leads to decreased austenite carbon content and promotes continued bainitic ferrite formation. Moreover, at prolonged isothermal holding at higher temperatures some degenerate pearlite form.

ABSTRACTAn investigation of the growth mechanism for RF-plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy of cubic GaN films using a nitrided AlGaAs buffer layer was carried out by in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and high resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD). It was found that hexagonal GaN nuclei grow on (1, 1, 1) facets during nitridation of the AlGaAs buffer layer, but a highly pure, cubic-phase GaN epilayer was grown on the nitrided AlGaAs buffer layer.
