Abstract:

Co3W2Si intermetallic compound was synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) of W, Co and Si elemental powder mixtures. The phase composition of the milled products was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Morphological evolutions were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that high energy ball milling performed in the present work led to the formation of Co3W2Si intermetallic phase after 50h MA. A thermodynamic analysis of the process was then carried out using Miedema model. The thermodynamic results showed that there exists a positive thermodynamic driving force in W–Si and Co-Si binary systems and W-Co-Si ternary system to form a solid solution at all compositions but Gibbs free energy change in Co-W binary system is positive for solid solution formation. So that, there is no thermodynamic force to form a solid solution in Co-W system. In Co-W-Si ternary system, the addition of elemental W to Co3Si compound decreases Gibbs free energy change and more stable structure forms.

Nanocrystalline Hydroxyapatite/Si Coating by Mechanical Alloying Technique

A novel approach for depositing hydroxyapatite (HA) films on titanium substrates by using mechanical alloying (MA) technique has been developed. However, it was shown that one-hour heat treatment at 800°C of such mechanically coated HA layer leads to partial transformation of desired HA phase to beta-tri-calcium phosphate (β-TCP) phase. It appears that the grain boundary and interface defects f...

Thermodynamic and magnetic properties of metastable FexCu100-x solid solutions formed by mechanical alloying

Metastable solid solutions of Fe and Cu, which are immiscible in equilibrium, have been formed using high-energy ball milling of elemental powder mixtures. Single-phase face-centered-cubic (fee) solid solution was obtained for 0 <x<60, and body-entered-cubic (bee) solid solution for 75(x < 100. The transition from fee to bee occurred near x=70, where a mixture of fee and bee phases was obtained...
