High performance nanostructured light metals and alloys are very interesting for replacing conventional heavier materials in many industrial components. High Energy Ball Milling and Cryomilling are useful techniques to obtain nanocrystalline powders. In this work the effect of several milling conditions such as rotation speed, time, ball to powder ratio and temperature on the crystallite and particle size and morphology in pure aluminum are presented. X-Ray Diffraction, Laser Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy are used. High energy ball milling at ambient and cryogenic temperature of Al powders rapidly leads to a nanometer size down to about 35 nm. High ball to powder ratio promotes both low crystallite and particle size. Small crystallite size like 18 nm and particle size as 4 μm were achieved in the most energetic conditions at ambient temperature. Isopropyl alcohol used as liquid media and protective atmosphere has a strong influence on the results depending on the milling temperature of Al.

In the present work, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were synthesized by electric arc discharge method in open air atmosphere. The synthesized nanotubes were subjected to multistep purification followed by characterization using Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have inner and outer diameters of the order of 3.5 nm and 16 nm with an aspect ratio of 63. AA 4032 nanocomposites reinforced with MWNTs were produced by high energy ball milling using elemental powder mixtures. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies showed different phases of composite with and without CNTs. The crystallite size and lattice strain were calculated using an anisotropic model of Williamson–Hall peak broadening analysis, which showed in decreased crystallite size with increasing milling time. TEM studies reveal that the MWNTs were uniformly distributed in the matrix. Thermal stability of the nanocrystalline powders was studied using a differential thermal analyzer (DTA). The mechanically alloyed powders were consolidated using a novel method called equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at room temperature. The consolidated samples were sintered at 480 °C in argon atmosphere for 90 min. ECAP method was investigated as an alternative to conventionally sintered powder composites. CNT addition has shown significant improvement in the hardness of the system, even though the observed density is relatively low compared with a base alloy. Thus, the results show that ECAP enables sufficient shear deformation results in good metallurgical bonds between particles at lower compaction pressures. Hence, it is proven that ECAP can be effectively used as one of the consolidation technique especially for powders that are difficult to consolidate by other means.

Tin titanate zirconate (ZTS) is widely known for its good dielectric properties at high frequencies and has been widely employed as a dielectric resonator. ZTS does not sinter easily by solid state difusion and it is necessary to introduce sintering aids capable of increasing diffusion coefficients and/or leading to liquid phase sintering. Consequently, the dielectric properties in microwave frequencies can be reduced. This work focused on the utilization of high energy ball-milling as a method of reducing initial particle size and further improving sintering of ZTS.The powders obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction as a function of milling time, as well as by a light scattering particle size analyzer.

An ingot of NdFeB alloy was disintegrated by hydrogen decrepitation (HD). High-energy ball milling technique with hard metal milling elements and balls was employed to refine HD powders down to particle size optimum for magnet processing. The experiments were performed according to experimental plan to optimize the milling parameters regarding particle size, contamination and magnetic properties of the powder. The effect of milling time, speed of rotation, ball-powder weight ratio (BPR) and amount of wet agent was investigated. The highest influence was shown to be from attritor speed of rotation, ball-to powder ratio and combined effect of milling wet agent and rotating speed. Unified parameter of estimated number of total ball impacts was calculated, which allows predicting the final particle size of the powder at different milling speeds. Magnetic moments of powders were measured.
