This work discusses on the effect of milling parameters on the TiB and TiB2 formation in Ti-50at%B and Ti-66at%B powders, respectively. Both powder mixtures were processed in a planetary ball Fritsch P-5 ball mill under Ar atmosphere, varying the milling parameters: rotary speed (150 and 200 rpm), size of balls (10 and 19mm diameter) and ball-to-powder weight ratio (2:1 and 10:1). In order to obtain the equilibrium structures the milled powders were heated at 1200oC for 1h. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis (DSC). XRD results indicated that extended Ti(B) solid solutions were formed during ball milling of Ti-50at%B and Ti-66at%B powders. After milling for 170h it was noted the TiB and TiB2 formation in Ti-50B and Ti-66B powders processed under higher-energy condition. DSC analysis revealed that the TiB2 formation was completed during heating of mechanically alloyed Ti-66at%B powders only. After heating at 1200oC for 1h, a large amount of TiB and TiB2 was found in Ti-B powders milled under higher energy condition.

This work aims to discuss on the phase transformation in mechanically alloyed and hot-pressed Ti-2Nb-22Si-11B and Ti-6Nb-22Si-11B powder mixtures. The milling process was conducted in a planetary ball milling using stainless steel vials (225 mL) and balls (19 mm diameter), rotary speed of 300 rpm, and a ball-to-powder weight ratio of 10:1. Hot pressing of mechanically alloyed Ti-Nb-Si-B powders was performed under vacuum at 1100°C for 1h. The as-milled and hot-pressed Ti-Nb-Si-B samples were evaluated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometry. XRD results of milled Ti-Nb-Si-B powders indicated that the peaks of Nb and Si were reduced for longer milling times, suggesting that Nb and Si atoms were dissolved into the Ti lattice to form extended solid solutions. Iron contamination close to 6 at% was detected by EDS analysis. Hot pressing produced dense and homogeneous samples containing a small amount of Ti6Si2B.

The work reports on the phase transformation in mechanically alloyed and hot-pressed Nb-4Si-8B and Nb-8Si-16B (at-%) alloys. Elemental powder mixtures were processed in a planetary ball mill under argon atmosphere using 300 rpm, stainless steel balls (19 mm diameter) and vials (225 mL), and a ball-to-powder weight ratio of 10:1. After dry milling for 7h, wet milling with isopropyl alcohol for more 20 min was adopted to increase the recovering of previously cold-welded Nb-4Si-8B powders. To obtain the equilibrium structures the as-milled powders were hot-pressed under vacuum at 1200oC for 1 h. The as-milled powders and hot-pressed samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometry. XRD results revealed the presence of metastable phases in as-milled Nb-Si-B powders. The hot pressing has produced dense Nb-Si-B samples, which were formed by the Nbss, Nb3B2and Fe2Nb phases beside of other unknown Si-rich phase.

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.

Ternary alloys, (Fe50−x/2Co50−x/2)Snx(x ≤ 33 at.%), are prepared by mechanical alloying from powder mixtures of the three elements. As-milled alloys are studied by X-ray diffraction and 57Fe and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy. The solubility of Sn in near-equiatomic bcc FeCo is increased from ~0.5 at. % at equilibrium to ~20 at.% in the used milling conditions. The average 119Sn hyperfine magnetic field at room temperature is larger, for any x, than the corresponding fields in mechanically alloyed Fe-Sn solid solutions.

The milling process of elemental Ti-2Ta-22Si-11B and Ti-6Ta-22Si-11B (at-%) powder mixtures were performed in a planetary Fritsch P-5 ball mill using stainless steel vials (225 mL) and hardened steel balls (19 mm diameter). Ball-to-powder weight ratio of 10:1 and a rotary speed of 300 rpm were adopted, varying the milling time. Wet milling (isopropyl alcohol) for 20 more minutes was used to increase the yield powder in to the vial. Following the Ti-Ta-Si-B powders milled for 600 min were heat-treated at 1100°C for 1 h in order to obtain the equilibrium structures. The milled powders and heat-treated samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometry. Supersaturated Ti solid solutions were formed during ball milling of Ti-Ta-Si-B powders while that the Ti5Si3 phase was formed after milling for 620 min of the Ta-richer powder mixture only. The particles sizes were initially increased during the initial milling times, and the wet milling provided the yield powder into the vials. A large amount of pores was found in both the sintered samples which presented the formation of the TiSS,(ss-solid solution) Ti6Si2B and TiB.

The synthesis and structural properties of lead-free piezoelectric (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3powders prepared by mechanochemical method using Nb2O5, K2CO3, and Na2CO3as starting materials were reported. X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the prepared samples. Results showed that, for the first time, by selecting the milling speed of 600 rpm and the ball-to-powder weight ratio of 35 : 1 as milling parameters, pure (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3crystalline phase was obtained directly in the as-milled samples after 5 h of milling time. The existence of a carbonato complex betweenCO32−and Nb5+ions as an intermediate species of the formation of (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3was also found.

AbstractThe solid state reaction of YNi2B2C by mechanical alloying of elemental powders has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and susceptibility measurements. Depending on the ball milling parameters either nanocrystalline YNi2B2C or an amorphous phase can be produced. Crystallization of the amorphous phase by annealing at 893 K produces YNi2B2C as major and Ni2B as minor intermetallic compound. Superconductivity is only observed in the annealed state. However, the transition temperature is much lower than in arc-melted samples. This is discussed with respect to the nanocrystalline and amorphous state as well as deviations from stoichiometry produced by impurities introduced during milling.

Elemental powder mixtures of Co and Ti were subjected to high-energy ball milling in order to produce mechanically alloyed powders with nominal compositions Co64Ti36, Co67Ti33, Co70Ti30, Co73Ti27, Co76Ti24 and Co85Ti15. The mechanically alloyed powders were treated during 30 minutes in inert atmosphere at temperatures in the range 300 – 700 °C. Both the as-milled powders as well as those subjected to heat treatments have been characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry and differential thermal analysis. As-milled products consist mostly of agglomerated powders with a size between 10 and 80 µm which give an amorphous-like diffraction pattern, except for the Co85Ti15 sample whose pattern presents the characteristic peaks of the Co3Ti intermetallic phase. The transformation of the asmilled powders occurs at temperatures in the range of about 530 – 670 °C with clearly observed exothermic events. The Co3Ti phase is found in all heat treated samples, together with fcc-Co (in Co76Ti24 and Co85Ti15) or the hexagonal Co2Ti intermetallic phase (in Co64Ti36, Co67Ti33 and Co70Ti30); the Co73Ti27 sample was essentially single-phase Co3Ti after heating to 700 °C. Our results suggest the occurrence of crystallization of an amorphous phase in two overlapping stages during heating of the mechanically alloyed powders.

Al-Fe-Ni ternary powder mixtures containing (FeAl)-40(60) at.% Ni and (FeAl3)-10(30) at.% Ni were mechanically alloyed by a high-energry planetary ball mill. The structural evolution of the powders during milling was studied by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). During milling of (FeAl)-40(60) at.% Ni system, Al and Fe solid solutions formed at the early stage change to FeAl, AlNi3 and FeNi3 intermetallic compounds. However, the Al and Fe solid solutions observed at the early stage transform into Al3Ni2, AlFe3 and AlFe0.23Ni0.77 intermetallic compound at last. The experimental results showed that the last milling products were decided by the proportion of atom between Al and Fe in the powder and the Ni content in the power had not affected to the last products.

Various intermetallics can be synthetized by mechanical alloying depending on alloy composition, type of mill, and milling parameters. This work discusses on the phase transformations during ball milling and subsequent sintering of Ni-Sn and Ni-Mg powder mixtures. The structural evaluation of as-milled and sintered samples was conducted by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Metastable phases were formed during milling of the Ni-Sn and Ni-Mg powder mixtures. The Ni3Sn and Ni3Sn2 compounds were produced after sintering from the as-milled Ni-25Sn and Ni-40Sn powders, respectively. Two-phase Ni2Mg+NiMg2 alloy was found after sintering of as-milled Ni-66Mg powders because the nominal Mg amount in starting powders was reduced due to its preferential cold welding during milling and/or evaporation during sintering.
