The Hipernik alloy (50Ni50Fe wt. %) was obtained by mechanical alloying. The milling was performed in argon atmosphere, with a ball/powder mass ration of 8:1 for times ranging from 2 up to 20h. The alloy formation was studied by X-ray diffraction. The obtained structure is face cantered cubic, indicating the extension of the γ domain for the Ni-Fe alloys by mechanical alloying. The mean crystallite size was calculated with the Williamson – Hall method. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the morphology and the chemical homogeneity of the powders was analysed. The technological properties of the powders as particle size distribution and flowability are determined as a function of the milling time. The magnetic behaviour of the samples was studied by magnetic measurements under high magnetic fields.

We have studied the effect of the silicon concentration on the structural and hyperfine properties of nanostructured Fe[Formula: see text]Six powders ([Formula: see text], 20, 25 and 30[Formula: see text]at.%) prepared by mechanical alloying. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated that after 72[Formula: see text]h of milling, the solid solution bcc-[Formula: see text]-Fe(Si) is formed. The grain sizes, [Formula: see text]D[Formula: see text] (nm), decreases with increasing Si concentration and reaches a minimum value of 11[Formula: see text]nm. We have found that the lattice parameter decreases with increasing Si concentration. The changes in values are attributed to the substitutional dissolution of Si in Fe matrix. From the adjustment of Mössbauer spectra, we have shown that the mean hyperfine magnetic field, [Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] (T), decreases with increasing Si concentration. The substitutional dependence of [Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text] (T) can be attributed to the effect of p electrons Si influencing electrons d of Fe.

Some 10 wt % Pt supported on zirconia catalysts were investigated by hydrogen and oxygen chemisorptions and titrations by means of automated catharometric equipment (frontal method). Microcalorimetry was further used to determine the heats of oxygen chemisorption. The temperature of reduction by hydrogen, TR, was varied between 673 and 1273 K. At 673 K, the H and O coverages of Pt were about the same as for Pt supported on SiO2 (Euro Pt catalyst). The increase in TR from 673 to 873 K was accompanied by a strong decrease of the hydrogen to oxygen chemisorption ratio. It is proposed that this is due to Pt1– xZr x alloy formation, with small values of x (≤0·05). When TR was above 873 K, x determined by X-ray diffraction analysis increased up to 0·25. The hydrogen chemisorption is confined to Pt s, while the oxygen chemisorption takes place on Pt s and Zr sO x. The surface composition may be derived and is found twice as rich in Zr as the mean composition of the alloy particles.

Nanocrystalline FeNi and Ni 3 Fe alloys were prepared by mechanical alloying of Fe and Ni elemental powders using a planetary ball mill under protection atmosphere. X-ray diffraction measurements were performed to follow alloy formation process in these alloys. A heat treatment of 1 h at 800°C was carried out to relax the internal stresses of the milled samples. Morphological evolution of powder particles was revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The value of lattice parameter was reached to 0.35762 nm and the hardness was found to be 686 HV at 30 h milled FeNi powder. In the case of Ni 3 Fe the values of 0.3554 nm and 720 HV were obtained for lattice parameter and hardness, respectively.

The Ir-Al powder in the 1:1 atomic ratio was obtained by high energy mechanical alloying in a Pulverisette 4 Fritch planetary mill. The final product was obtained after 28 h of milling in argon atmosphere. Alloy formation was investigated by X-ray diffraction. After 4 h of milling the new structure of IrAl compound is found in the diffraction patterns. The obtained powders are nanocrystalline with a mean crystallite size of 11 nm after 28 h of milling. The particle morphology and the chemical homogeneity were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDX). It was found that the obtained compound present large particles composed by smaller one.

The formation of PbTe intermetallic compound by mechanical alloying (MA) has been investigated. The elemental starting materials were 99.5% pure lead and tellurium, with a sieve size of 80 and 200 mesh, respectively. A SPEX 8000 shaker milling was used to perform the MA, using WC balls as milling media in a cylindrical hardened tool steel vial. X-ray diffraction analysis was performed with a profile-fitting program, to evaluate time evolution of the alloy formation. An exotermical reaction occurs on PbTe formation, with entalphy H= - 16.3 Kcal/mol. The *T value is confirmed by the heat exchange equation *Q = |*Hf | =* i (mici ) *T, where the summation comprises the mass and specific heat of vial, balls and powder material. For the standard milling conditions employed, the PbTe formation occurs at aproximately 90 seconds of milling, when using charge ratios between 3:1 and 7.5:1. However, for lower charge ratios (8:1 to 10:1), isolated reactions at the mixture occurs, but the amount of material is not enough to raise the temperature of adjacent regions, and the propagation of the reaction is avoided. There is therefore a minimum amount of powder (“critical mass”), and below this value the reaction will not be self-sustained.

Result of research concerning the influence of milling conditions on the amorphisation of the Fe75Si20B5 (at.%) alloy is presented. Amorphous powder of Fe75Si20B5 (at.%) was prepared by dry and wet mechanical alloying (MA) route starting from a mixture of Fe, Si and B elemental powders. The mixture was wet/dry milled up to 50 hours. Benzene, oleic acid and ethanol were used as process control agents (PCA) in order to investigate the influence of their chemical composition on the powder amorphisation. The evolution of the powder crystalline structure, thermal stability and magnetic properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) as well as magnetic measurements versus temperature and field. It is proved that the chemical composition of the PCA (especially the carbon content) plays an important role in the amorphisation process induced by wet MA.

We are reporting the core-shell structured iron/graphite nanoparticles formed by annealing of a nanopowder. The original Fe-C-N based nanopowder has been synthesized by the laser pyrolysis of gas phase reactants. TEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements were used for its characterization. Nanopowder was heated up to 800°C at ~ 1 Pa vacuum. Presence of iron nanoparticles with the mean diameter of 40 nm in the annealed state of the nanopowder was confirmed from the width of α-Fe X-ray diffraction lines and their core-shell structure was observed under TEM.

ABSTRACT:Ordering of the disordered state (obtained by cold-working or by meltspinning) of L12 type Ni,AI,Fe alloys has been monitored by calorimetric, magnetic and X-ray diffraction measurements .It is found that the magnetic moment per atom of the Ni,Al,Fe alloys in the γ-disordered state is about half of that of the LI2 -γ'state. Magnetic measurements such as ours constitute a new tool for studyingthe γ→γ' transition below the Curie temperature.

The oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic steel powders with chemical composition of Fe-14Cr-3W-0.3Y2O3 were mechanically alloyed from elemental powders in a planetary ball mill. Microstructural and chemical changes at different milling times were investigated by electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). It was observed that morphology and structure of powders have experienced many stages during milling, and a quantitative mechanism was proposed. The initiation and evolution of the alloy formation started somewhere around 32 h of mechanical alloying (MA). According to microscopy and XRD analysis, in the first MA stages, milling chiefly has resulted in severe plastic deformation and grain refinement of powders, while in the later stages, alloying was progressed. It seems that 32 hours of milling are necessary to initiate the alloying process of Fe with Cr, but 78 h are not sufficient for completely dissolving W into �-Fe matrix retarding the Fe-Cr-W solid solution formation.
