Fabrication of Mg-Ti by MA-SPS process and its properties

Pure magnesium (Mg) powders together with pure titanium (Ti) were mechanically alloyed (MAed) using a vibration ball mill. Stearic acid was used as process control agent (PCA) for the mechanical alloying (MA) process. The MAed consolidated into bulk materials by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Changes in hardness and solid-state reactions of SPS have been examined measurements an X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Vickers increased to 58 HV after MA 8 h. No observed powders. fabricated from h Mg-10 mass%Ti reached 76 HV. Formation TiH2 reaction materials, but did not act strengthening phase. improved increasing temperature, amount titanium. Mg-Ti system can be MA-SPS
