The powder was consolidated by hot extrusion method. The microstructures of the milled powder and bulk alloy were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Mechanical properties of the extruded alloy were examined by mechanical testing machine. The results show that after BM, the particle size and microstructures of the mixed alloy powder change obviously. After 48 h BM, the average size of mixed powder is about 30 nm, and then after hot extrusion, the average size of grains reaches about 70 rim. The compressive strength of the extruded alloy reaches 710 MPa under certain conditions of milling time and composition. As a result of the identification of the nano-/micro-strueture-property relationship of the samples, such high strength is attributed mainly to the nanocrystalline grains of a(Al) and nanoscaled FeNiCrCoAl3 particles, and the fine secondary phase of Al2Cu and Fe-rich phases.展开更多

After high-energy ball milling, the powder was consolidated by vacuum hot press sintering and spark plasma sintering (SPS) under different process conditions. The microstructure and morphology of the powder and consolidated bulk sample were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is shown that amorphous phase appears when ball milling time is more than 100 h, and the bulk sample consolidated by SPS can maintain amorphous/ nanocrystalline microstructure but has lower relative density. A compressive strength of 650 MPa of Al86Ni7Y4.5Co1La1.5 nanostructured samples is achieved by vacuum hot extrusion (VHE).展开更多

The commercial Al-2024 alloy with 1% CNTs was milled under various ball milling conditions. Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the milled powder and consolidated bulk materials were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and mechanical test. The effect of CNTs concentration and milling time on the microstructure of the CNTs/Al-2024 composites was studied. Based on the structural observation, the formation behavior of nanostructure in ball milled powder was discussed. The results show that the increment in the milling time and ration speed, for a fixed amount of CNTs, causes a reduction of the particle size of powders resulting from MM. The finest particle size was obtained after 15 h of milling. Moreover, the composite had an increase in tensile strength due to the small amount of CNTs addition.展开更多
