摘要
In the present investigations, magneto-mechano synthesis, using a novel milling technique, was applied to mixtures of Al and Nb powders milled in Ar under different milling conditions. Structural development was monitoring using x-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis, and reflected light and electron microscopy. Powders milled using the ball impact method, and under shearing mode with a strong magnetic pulling force on the balls were observed to agglomerate due to cold welding. However, powders milled under shearing, with intermediate pulling force displayed continuous structural evolution, with Nb-Al solid solution occurring within 30 h of milling. With increased milling time there was a rapid decrease in Nb3Al lattice parameter, which reached a limiting value of 0.5185nm at around 250h milling. Thee DTA traces indicated an activation energy (Ea) of 377kJ/mol) for formation of Nb3Al, much higher than that reported for grain growth only, but close to that for the self-diffusion of pure elements, Al and Nb.
