The synthesis of nanocrystalline Fe3Al powder by mechanical alloying as well as the structural ordering of the synthesized Fe3Al particles during the subsequent thermal analysis were investigated. Mechanical alloying was performed up to 100 hours using a planetary ball mill apparatus with rotational speed of 300 rpm under argon atmosphere at ambient temperature. The synthesized powders were cha...

In this research, the high-energy planetary mill was employed to produce nanocrystalline Ti-50Al(γ)(at%) powders. Initial powders were mechanically alloyed in 99.9999% and 90% purities of Argon and also Air atmosphere with alloying times up to 50h. The effect of impurity of Argon atmosphere on the microstructure and the rate of phase transformation of Ti-50Al were investigated during mechanical...

Nanocrystalline magnesium hydride powder was synthesized by mechanical milling of MgH2 in a planetary ball mill for various times. The effect of MgH2 structure, i.e. crystallite size, lattice strain, particle size and specific surface area on the hydrogen desorption properties was investigated. A single peak of hydrogen desorption was observed for as-received powder, exhibiting an average parti...

storage of hydrogen is one of the key challenges in developing hydrogen economy. magnesium hydride (mgh2) is an attractive candidate for solid-state hydrogen storage for on-board applications. in this study, 10 wt.% zrb2 was co-milled with magnesium hydride at different milling times to produce nanocrystalline composite powder. the effect of milling time and additive on the hydrogen desorption ...

In this study, the composite material with composition of MgH2-5 wt% SiC has been prepared by co-milling of MgH2 with SiC powder. The effect of milling time and additive on MgH2 structure, i.e. crystallite size, lattice strain, particle size and specific surface area, and also hydrogen desorption properties of obtained composite was evaluated by thermal analyzer method and compared with pure un...
