Abstract:

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 diffraction (XRD) and alternating gradient force magnetometer (AGFM). The XRD results showed that alloy formation started after 2 hours of milling. Further milling resulted in the reduction of the grain size and lattice parameter. After 60 hours of milling, the grain size was reduced to 8 nm. AGFM results showed that magnetic saturation and coercivity depends on the alloying time. Increasing the alloying time, causes the increase of magnetic saturation and decrease of coercivity. Abstract There are various methods to produce iron based nano crystalline magnetic alloys.

AZ31/HA-Zeolite Nano Crystalline Biocomposite Fabricated by Mechanical Alloying and Powder Metallurgy: Mechanical Properties

  Magnesium and its alloys are light, biodegradable, biocompatible metals that have promising applications as biomaterials. Magnesium is potentially useful for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications. However, the corrosion rate of this metal is so high that its degradation occurs before the end of the healing process. One of the ways to improve the corrosion rate is to compose it’s with cer...
