This work evaluated on the structural modification during high-energy ball milling of the Si-50C, Si-42.9C-19.1B e Si-33.3C-44.4B (at.-%) powder mixtures from elemental powders. Electron images revealed on occurrence of continuous fracture mechanisms in brittle particles during their processing, which presented rounded particles lower than 10 μm. X-ray diffraction results of Si-50C powders indicated that the intensity of Si peaks was slightly reduced after milling for 17 h, which were moved to the direction of larger diffraction angles after 7 h of milling, suggesting that carbon atoms were dissolved into the Si lattice in order to form an extended solid solution. Following, these values were increased due to the discrete exothermic formation of the SiC compound. In Si-C-B powder mixtures, the SiC and B4C compounds were formed after milling for 7 h.

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.

Amorphous Si-B-C-N ceramics obtained by high energy ball milling and hot pressing using hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), graphite (C) and amorphous Si as starting materials have been studied. The mechanical milling with high energy resulted in the generation of large amounts of amorphous composites only milled for 5 h. Si-B-C-N powders were consolidation by hot pressing at 1850 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) show that small amount of BN and SiC crystal lies in the amorphous matrix. The flexural strength reached the maximal value of 137.2 MPa at a mole ratio of BN/(Si+C) being 0.6.

Cu-4% mixed-powder consisting of rough copper powder and graphite powder was separately mechanical alloyed by high-energy ball milling. The phases and micrograph of these powders were determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show an increase in the lattice parameter of copper with milling times, up to a saturation value of about 24h; There was an absence of graphite reflections from X-ray diffractograms after longer milling times.

TiC-TiB2 composite ceramics were successfully fabricated via planetary ball milling of 72 mass% Ti and 28 mass % B4C powders, followed by low temperature sintering process at 1200°C. The microstructure of the ball-milled powder mixtures and composite ceramics were characterized by Differential thermal analysis equipment (DTA), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the ball-milled powder mixtures (Ti and B4C powders) were completely transformed to TiC-TiB2 composite ceramics as the powders were milled for 60 h and sintered at 1200°C for 1 h. The formation mechanism of the TiC-TiB2 composite was discussed. The high energy ball milling and necessary sintering for the powder mixtures plays an important role in the formation of the composites.

ABSTRACT In this work, nine nanocrystalline binary Mg alloys synthesized by high energy ball milling. The compositions, Mg-5wt.%M (M- Cr, Ge, Mn, Mo, Ta, Ti, V, Y, Zn) were milled with an objective of achieving non-equilibrium alloying. The milled alloys were consolidated via cold compaction (CC) at 25 ï‚°C and spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 300 ï‚°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated grain refinement below 100 nm, and the scanning electron microscopy revealed homogeneous microstructures for all compositions. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that most of the alloys showed a change in the lattice parameter, which indicates the formation of a solid solution. A significant increase in the hardness compared to unmilled Mg was observed for all the alloys. The corrosion behavior was improved in all the binary alloys compared to milled Mg. A significant decrease in the cathodic kinetics was evident due to Ge and Zn additions. The influence of the alloying elements on corrosion behavior has been categorized and discussed based on the electrochemical response of their respective binary Mg alloy.

Expanded graphite (EG) was ball-milled in a high-energy mill (planetary-type) under an air atmosphere and subsequently annealed under a vacuum atmosphere. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the ball-milling decreases the crystallization degree of EG, however, the subsequent annealing improves the crystallization degree of the ball-milled EG.

In this work, the microstructural features of the particles based on 66% Co-28% Cr-6% Mo alloy, were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Powders obtained by high-energy ball milling in an inert atmosphere, and held in SPEX mill with times between 15min and 120min, about ball/powder ratio of 6:1, were characterized by X-ray diffraction indicating in all conditions, Co phase as the crystalline phase of the system. The powders have a morphology that indicate a continuous reduction in average particle size as a function of increasing time, however, the shape of the particles initially flat for times up to 30 minutes, becomes spherodized after 30 minutes of grinding.
