thesis on mechanical alloying

Mechanical alloying is a manufacturing process that produces alloys by cold welding of powders. Usually, a vial containing both the powder and steel balls is agitated. Due to impact between the balls and balls and the vial, the powder is mechanically deformed, crushed, and mixed at nano-scales. In this thesis, a numerical model is developed to

Abstract. Over the last several years, mechanical alloying/milling (MA/MM) process has been applied to produce different types of metastable or non-equilibrium materials such as m

Abstract. Mechanical alloying (MA) is a powder process that consists of repeated cold welding, fracturing, and rewelding of powder particles in a high-energy ball mill. This process is capable of synthesizing different types of non-equilibrium phases including supersaturated solid solutions, nanocrystalline materials, metallic glasses, high ...

This thesis is focusing on the development of a new Mo-based metallic glass with improved thermal stability. The adopted route to obtain it is mechanical alloying. The amorphization process is analysed through profile fitting of the X-Ray Diffraction patterns at different stages of the milling process.

1. Introduction. Traditional metallurgical theory suggests that complex phases or intermetallics will be easily formed in alloy systems with multiple principal components and lead to poor mechanical properties of the alloys [1].So for centuries, the design concept of alloy systems has been based on utilizing one or two elements as the principal components, and sometimes, minor amounts of other ...

During mechanical alloying, nanocrystalline materials are sustained in nonequilibrium states by continuous external driving (e.g., collisions, shearing, fracturing, welding, etc.), and can be studied as driven alloys -- a simplified model that grasps the essentials of external driving in a general way. In this thesis study, the structures and ...

2. Origins and early developments. Mechanical alloying has been defined as a process that involves repeated cold welding, fracturing and reweld-ing of powder particles in a high-energy ball mill. The technique of MA was developed in 1966 by John Ben-jamin at INCO Laboratories out of an industrial necessity.

This thesis also describes an alloy design case study in which the insights from these simulations and experiments are used to develop a nanocrystalline W-based (W-7Cr-9Fe, at%) alloy powder that can be rapidly compacted to high relative densities while maintaining ultrafine grain sizes. Two-phase compacts made from the alloy exhibit ...

Abstract. Mechanical alloying is a solid-state powder processing technique that involves repeated cold welding, fracturing, and rewelding of powder particles in a high-energy ball mill. Originally developed about 50 years ago to produce oxide-dispersion-strengthened Ni- and Fe-based superalloys for aerospace and high temperature applications ...

Yielding behavior. Solid solution effects: Pure FCC metals show practically no temperature dependence of yield strength between 500 and 77 K [204].In contrast, as shown in Fig. 4, the FCC Cantor alloy (CrMnFeCoNi) exhibits relatively strong temperature dependence of yield strength with almost a factor of four increase as the temperature is decreased from 500 to 77 K for the coarsest grain size ...

2.1 Mechanical Alloying Mechanical attrition by high-energy ball milling has been developed as a method to produce large quantities of nanostructured materials [3]. Ball milling produces these nanostructures by the structural decomposition of coarser-grained powder materials by severe repetitive fracture and deformation [3, 4].

Mechanical alloying (MA) followed by sintering has been one of the most widely adopted routes to produce nanocrystalline high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Enhanced solid solubility, room temperature processing, and homogenous alloy formation are the key benefits provided by MA. Spark plasma sintering has largely been used to obtain high-density HEA pellets from milled powders. However, there are ...

Steel is generally defined as a ferrous alloy containing less than 2.0 wt. % C [1]. The complexity of steel arises with the introduction of further alloying elements into the iron - carbon alloy system. The optimization of alloying content in the iron - carbon alloy system, combined with different mechanical and heat

The Ti 5 Al 5 alloy possessed a ductility of 50.7 %, UTS of 754 MPa and M s of 121.1 emu/g and H c =6.5 Oe. Thus, local chemical ordering could achieve synergistic tuning of the mechanical and magnetic properties of CCA and provide new ideas for the development of new strong magnetic alloys.

The present report describes phase formation, magnetic and corrosion behavior of the AlCrFeMnNiTi high entropy alloy (HEA) synthesized through mechanical alloying. Simple solid solution of FCC and BCC phases are evolved after 25 h of MA. DSC analysis confirms that the synthesized phases of AlCrFeMnNiTi HEA are stable up to 550 °C and a re-crystallization is occurred at temperature greater ...

A series of low-density steels with alloying contents of C from 0.6 to 1.5%, Mn from 20 to 35%, and Al from 6.0 to 12.0% were fabricated in the laboratory. The microstructure, density and mechanical properties of the resulting steels were examined to explore the effects of varying alloy content.
