The mechanical alloying process was used to synthesize the Ni50Al50−xMox nanocrystalline intermetallic compound using pure Ni and Al elemental powder. This process was carried out in the presence of various Mo contents as a micro-alloying element for various milling times. Structural changes of powder particles during mechanical alloying were studied by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning e...

Synthesis of nanomaterials by a simple, low cost and in high yield has been a great challenge since the very early development of nanoscience. Various bottom and top down approaches have been developed so far, for the commercial production of nanomaterials. Among all top down approaches, high energy ball milling, has been widely exploited for the synthesis of various nanomaterials, nanograins, ...

This work aims at studying the effect of the milling conditions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a ZrB₂-5 vol% Si₃N₄ matrix reinforced with chopped Hi-Nicalon SiC fibers. Several composites were obtained using different milling conditions in terms of time, speed and type of milling media. The composites were prepared from commercial powders, ball milled, dried and shaped, and ...

Abstract There are various methods to produce iron based nano crystalline magnetic alloys. Among these methods, mechanical alloying is one of the most important. In this research, nano crystalline Fe85Si10Ni5 soft magnetic alloy was synthesized by mechanical alloying. The effect of alloying time on phase constituents and magnetic properties of the produced powders was investigated, by X-ray di...

carbon nano-tube (cnt) reinforced metal matrix nano-composites have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years due to the outstanding physical and mechanical properties of cnts. however, utilizing cnt as reinforcement for alloy matrixes has not been studies systematically and is still a challenging issue. in the present study, cu80fe20/10cnt nanocomposite was synthesized by mechanical ...

The mechanism of milling-induced amorphization was studied by investigating the structural evolution during amorphization via high-energy ball milling of a chalcogenide compound, i.e. Ag3PS4 crystal. The gradual decrease in intensity of the XRD diffraction peaks of Ag3PS4 milled for different durations indicates that the degree of amorphization was enhanced by the mechanical milling. The forwar...

The effect of mechanical milling on materials has been studied using simple model systems. The results show that milling leads to enhancement in both thermodynamic driving force and transport kinetics. A study of some characteristic physical properties of the milled samples in comparison to the bulk shows how milling affects the properties.

10 Nanocrystalline Mg87Ni3Al3Mm7 hydrides were produced by reactive mechanical milling (RMM) under hydrogen atmosphere. Milling first under argon, and then under hydrogen atmosphere was also carried out in order to study the effect of the gas atmosphere on the microstructure of the products of milling as well as on their hydriding properties. In both cases, the main product of the milling proce...
