producing parts with high density and improved mechanical properties is one of the most important aims of powder metallurgy process. there are many factors for attaining modified properties in sintered parts but among them controlling type and quantity of alloying elements and manufacturing parameters such as compacting pressure, sintering temperature are the most effective.in this research, tw...

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 study, the elemental powders of aluminum and copper were initially subjected to mechanical alloying using an attrition ball mill under argon atmosphere to produce an al-4.5 wt% cu powder alloy. the wc nanoparticles were then added to the powder alloy and milled in a planetary ball mill to explore the role of the wc nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of the fabricated composite p...

one of the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (cnts) is as reinforcement of metal matrix composites, because of their excellent mechanical properties. in this study, al-tio2-multi walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) nanocomposite is fabricated using isostatic pressing followed by hot extrusion. mechanical alloying is used to mix powders of aluminium, tio2 and mwcnts. tio2 with the amo...

Both n- and p-type lead telluride (PbTe)-based thermoelectric (TE) materials display high TE efficiency, but the low fracture strength may limit their commercial applications. To find ways to improve these macroscopic mechanical properties, we report here the ideal strength and deformation mechanism of PbTe using density functional theory calculations. This provides structure-property relations...
