In this paper, milling was investigated as a method for production of Mn-Ga binary alloys and the effect of milling process on phase formation of Mn:Ga samples with 2:1 and 3:1 ratio within 1, 2 and 5 hour milling times was studied. For Mn:Ga samples, according to the results, Mn1.86Ga compound with tetragonal structure and I4/mmm space group was a stable phase. Also, some amounts of  Mn3G...
