The aspects of thermodynamics and kinetics for the mechanically activated disproportionation of the NdFeB alloy were discussed. Both the evolution of the disproportionation reaction and the corresponding microstructure change of the alloy during milling were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The results show that the matrix phase Nd 2Fe 14 B of the as cast Nd 12 Fe 82 B 6 alloy can be disproportionated into a mixture of Nd hydride (H 5Nd 2), FeB/Fe 2B, and α Fe, by ball milling under hydrogen pressure of 0.2 MPa. The as disproportionated phases are of the size about 20 nm, suggesting that ball milling in hydrogen is an effective route for low temperature disproportionation processing of the NdFeB alloy to ensure a full nano structured as disproportionated microstructure. This is the basis for synthesizing Nd 2Fe 14 B/ α Fe nano composites with magnetic exchange coupling effect by subsequent desorption recombination processing.展开更多

The metastable phase transitions in both systems during milling were investigated by X ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the alloying processes are closely related to the milling conditions. As far as the Mo Si system is concerned, ball milling leads to the formation of both α MoSi 2 (room temperature phase) and β MoSi 2 (high temperature phase), but lower energy milling favors the formation of β phase, while higher energy milling promotes the formation of α phase. In addition, if the milling energy is high enough, the Mo/Si reaction is governed by a self propagating high temperature process. On the other hand, two different pathways of phase transition in the V Si system were also identified depending on the milling intensity, i.e. weak milling leads to amorphous transition, whereas intensive milling causes the formation of V 3Si and V 5Si 3 intermetallic compounds. Finally, the thermodynamics and kinetics related to the different phase transitions in the two systems were discussed.展开更多

Al2O3 powder with 50 nm in diameter is compounded with 11.24%Al and 4.75%Fe(mass fraction) by high-energy ball-milling. Al is got from Al powder which is a component of the materials being milled and Fe from steel milling balls and milling jar during the milling. In this way, nearly no impurity is brought into the composite powder during milling. With hot pressing of the composite powder and pure Al2O3 powder, it is proved that Al2O3 powder can be densified at lower sintering temperature when the powder is compounded in this way. Al2OC and AlFe form during sintering process of the composite powder. With the reactive sintering and multiphase sintering mechanisms, finegrained Al2O3 ceramic is fabricated at low sintering temperature.展开更多
