Abstract:

Nanostructured Al and Al-Mg (Mg 30 wt. %) powders with the mean crystallite sizes of 42 and 11 nm were prepared through the solid state ball milling technique. The milling process was performed for various times up to 12 h in argon atmosphere and the synthesized powders were in detail characterized by different techniques. The effect of milling time and Mg addition on the size, morphology, chemical composition, phase structure and crystallite size of the powder particles were thoroughly investigated and the results were compared with the non-alloyed Al system. Two distinct particle morphologies comprising lamellar flakes and solid granules were obtained as final milling products in Al and Al-Mg systems, respectively. It was revealed that Mg atoms gradually diffuse into the Al lattice during milling and form a supersaturated Al-Mg solid solution (α phase). Thermal analyses of the powders revealed that metastable nanostructures formed during the milling transform into the equilibrium and stable phases such as Al4C3 and Al2Mg3 (β) upon the heating.

Effect of Particle Size on the Structural and Mechanical Properties of Al–AlN Nanocomposites Fabricated by Mechanical Alloying

Nanostructured Al composites with 2.5 wt.% aluminum nitride (AlN) were fabricated by powder metallurgy using mechanically milled aluminum powder mixed in a planetary ball mill with different particle sizes of AlN (50 nm and 1 μm) as reinforcement. After 20 h milling, the powders were die-pressed uniaxially in a steel die and then sintered at 670 °C for 2 h. The morphologies and properties of th...
